If they aren't incompetent,they are flat out lying.
Evil dishonest, moral less people. That is a tenant of todays democrat party.
SMART
The incompetent ones will definitely take the fall if anyone does, but what about the puppet master?
Govt is at a big F
Disgusting, haul him back in asap
Treason was once a capital offense.
Please . I understand your ire , and I sympathise . But " treason " is technically a military term . Citizens don't take a formal , actionable , oath to the CiC and the Constitution . Using "treason " and even " sedition " just waters the terms down .
@@deanoverlie224 Citizens CAN be tried for treason if they have been involved with anything having to do with helping the military or any government agency go against its own government. I know many non military citizens were tried for treason after WWII.
we have been socialist since 1865. strange how much money Trump has paid in taxes and he said "Amerika will never be a socialist country" ???
@@deanoverlie224 Stop tooting your own horn. Liars give that oath every day. Bankers create all wars for their profit. Treason can be as simple as giving aid and comfort to the enemy...Sedition is as simple as incitement of a group to attempt o coup...get off your high horse paid for by global elites...you're just their tool to their end.
Gitmo is the answer!
‘I want to talk about this in front of the American public’ … there’s the golden words ❤
AMEN.....know the DEM govt hated to hear that stated PUBLICALY !
his response lol we can start with a conversation in your office lol... so much for infront of the american people. @@donnab5071
Let’s go brandon 🍦🍦🍦
So that we can know where the heck our money is going!!
TALK, TALK, TALK and not a damn thing gets done. NOTHING..
Senator Kennedy is sharp as a tack! His investigation tactics are impressive. I thank him for his integrity an tenacious pursuit for justice!
John Kennedy is a master of pointing out idiocy, but in a soft way.
True, but it seems that is as far as it get's. There are no consequences. Perhaps the soft way should end.
this is anything but idiocy
He’s “ gentle” but & Yet So crafty 🎉 “Gentle as a dove BUT crafty as a serpent “
Collusion might be the better word in most cases. :)
It's like a Stephen King Novel.
The thing is, he calls these people out all the time but that's as far as it ever goes. No one is ever held accountable.
THAT is the bigger problem. NO ACCOUNTABILITY. NO JUSTICE.
Knowing how the government works is important, we the people should KNOW. We used to learn this beginning in 6th grade onward because, a Senator cannot begin prosecution. There is a long chain of procedures that must be followed which is WHY these crimes and government takeover has happened. It protected those who are doing the real harm to our system, governing and country. If everyone would learn WHO IS in charge of prosecuting or beginning inquiries for warrants/ subpoenas it would allow the PEOPLE of AMERICA to begin putting pressure on those who have that power.
These hearings are theater. Staged for entertainment
sadly true
@Joseph Burnside L E is not listening.. they are as guilty as judicial & lawmakers
Thats my senator! Love him! Will be voting for him again!
Julie,I'm jealous,I love Senator Kennedy.i envy you,I'm from California no more to be said
I demand that you do!
I’m not even a democrat and this guy is a flame. I wish all or most politicians made as much sense as this man and cut straight to the point.
Kennedy isn't a democrat either@@BrinonThompson-gp1qx (he switched parties)
I love Sen. Kennedy's mannerisms and how he approaches his questions! Could listen to him all day! He digs deep into roots of these crimes against America! God Speed Sen. Kennedy!
He's sneaky smart.
I love him too!
@@bigspence404 He's so smart he doesn't know the difference between Treasury and the FED. Willful ignorance.
If he could pick up the pace a bit. To me, it’s like watching a Redwood growing.
His plainly worded questions relax the ones being question.
If Sen. Kennedy ran for President I’d vote for him over anyone else. Smart, pragmatic and a good guy.
Right? I love him. He needs to move across the La border to Tx!!
How could you vote for him? The man constantly asks others for answers to situations he could very well figure out on his own. Though most are probably above his pay grade.
🐴💩
@@ca3891 Lol are you a troll professionally or ignorant?
I would vote for him too.
Love Sen Kennedy. He's a true Patriot. One of the only politicians I always stop to listen to.
he is responsible for second poorest state in the country and the Education system in Louisiana is the worst the country and you sure live up to those numbers.
@John Cordova , a Senator is not responsible for the school system in their state. That is under local control.
yes you are right, I doesn't change the fact that his state is a total failure and so is he.
Same here.
@@johncordova8304 you got clowned
I look forward to the day in which another Senator answers Senator Kennedy with, "I don't believe you've EVER been confused a day in your life!" I love his shucks demeanor that draws out the lies and misdirection. He is extremely adept. I'm glad he's a good man.
🤣🤣🤣 He is a good man, anyone who under-estimates him is the biggest fool ever.
Love the final line. “ I want to talk about it in front of the American people.” I wish we heard more of that.
It's insane how nobody ever knows anything. If you have a normal job, and you get asked questions and know nothing, they give you the boot.
... unless you know too much, in which case you wind up dead
Gitmo is the answer!
Our questioner is only trying to make everybody look bad. He sounds soft and easy, but is not. To me, this is just dirty politics with an air of self-righteousness. He wants to make everyone look stupid. When one understands that he's only out to get you, one day I bet he won't be able to get a straight answer.
You think working for the federal government is a normal job? Only if you think being overpaid better insurance that any other job and can't get fired is normal.
@@philipharned2794 He already doesn't get straight answers. Nobody knows anything, other than how to endorse their paycheck. Of course, Sen Kennedy is trying to make a point. The job of the other guy is to thwart his efforts by either playing dumb or actually being dumb. He is an appointed political flunky without whom the country would function just fine.
It would be absolutely criminal for anyone in the federal reserve to get a bonus after thoroughly destroying our economy and currency.
lol, yep so go get them ,kidding
The federal reserve isn't doing that; it's the over spending by the Government that's destroying our currency! That's like blaming the bank when your wife spends all your money and runs up all your credit cards!!!
That goes for every member of the cabinet, Congress & all the agencies.
Exactly!
the federal reserve is not a government agency. it is a private organization with zero accountability.
John Kennedy is absolutely terrific ! Wish we had more like him !
Ted Cruz , josh hawley
@@CarlosGonzalez-ki1kq naa Cruz raise his voice this guy is epic the way he interview It’s even funny
We need a lot less of people with issues
I agree
I wish he were on the ballot for President.
Gosh I think I love this guy; I could listen to him all day. If other officials went by his standards and straight up talk and demanded answers, we would not be in this mess. Bless his heart.
He’s the best!
we need 99 more John Kennedys in the Senate...
He is an actor. He knows EXACTLY what the Federal Reserve is up to.
AMEN!!!
Or maybe 98. The good people next door in Texas gave us Ted Cruz.
God no!
@@Mr196710 Duh! Exactly. He's educating the American people! Hello! What part did you not get about his questioning?
The Federal Reserve which is actually a private business has never been audited in over 100 years. Name one company in the United States that can claim the same.
There has been a partial audit conducted a few years ago where they found several trillion dollars missing. Nothing to see here!
Zionist criminal organization
Pentagon
@@megclifton6692 the Pentagon has been audited 5 times and failed each time. The Federal Reserve has never been audited
Hmm..apparently auditing big government agencies is pointless in achieving purpose of an audit and thus a phenomenal waste of tax dollars!
Imagine doing this poorly at YOUR job then remember you employ these people to fail. Kennedy is always on point, people underestimate him then find that out
Yes I agree however nothings changed they just bicker back-and-forth all day long but nothing changes. The only thing that changes on this planet is things just keep getting worse. They pulling out all the problems but everyone still has their job.
The man is a National Treasure! Thank you Senator!
Imagine going in front of a Congressional Hearing and not having information ready that you know will be asked. Complete incompetence and the highest levels of government.
Not incompetence. It's all deliberate. NOBODY gets so much so wrong so often by incompetence.
It seems their play book starts with "I'll get back to you" Unprepared on purpose of little to no consequences.
@@tc559 Just because you don't like one villain, that doesn't justify what the other villains do. Keep that in mind.

Fkn lies right to our faces. Come on man
Far too much of our government is conducted through this, "I can get that to you in a private meeting." We all know why they'd rather do this behind closed doors. That's where both the "propositions" as well as the "threats" happen.
There should be negative consequences for people that are in charge of federal agencies or departments, that don’t come prepared to testify under oath. “I don’t know” or “I’ll have to get back to you”, or “I can meet privately with you to discuss”, is UNACCEPTABLE in any well run business. You’d be shown the door with an answer like that. Are there rules about blatant lying under oath or incompetency, that can actually be enforced?
Senator John Kennedy is the best. His down-home, aw-shucks, mannerisms are terrific, and he always drills down for the facts.
its all talk and no action unfortunately, all of these hearings are for show
In a most respectful manner!
he sounds just like mr haney from green acres
Mr Haney is the card he plays to stay elected. He knows his base.
ad hominem attacks are good?
"I'll bring you all the answers but I wont do it in front of the cameras." Lying traitor.
yeah, isnt the public hearing set up with cameras so we the people can hear it for ourselves from the witness? this bothers many of us when they refuse to tell what they know
@@_KarlS All of Us who live in reality. Who pay attention to the showdown we are living through. Who take any responsibility for being the government. This is NOT a Democracy PERIOD. We are a Constitutional Republic. And we better get serious.

Omg!!! Why can't people answer a question??? Totally unacceptable.
When he can answer everything related to his pay but nothing about his own job.
How can u be boss for 12 years and know nothing. Fire this guy already. Corrupt maybe. Does not know if his employees get bonuses. Again corruption.
And the nominees for Supreme Court need to pack up their crayons and go get their diapers changed.

@@1joytotheworld They could at least be required to show, when asked under oath, knowledge of the basics of Elementary school biology

The dudes been doing this since 2011 and he can't answer some of the most basic questions. Wtf
and there is 12 others just like him our government is to big half these people are not needed
Just another typical hearing of stonewalling
Stonewalling and just not knowing answers to delay further..is mind boggling..We expect a McDonald's employee to be more accountable than our elected officials.. accountable
My thoughts exactly. Any business leader would know that information on the top of their head. If not, they'd soon be on the old chopping block.
“My salary is equal to the average of their salaries plus a bonus” Do you get a bonus? “No” 🤦♂️
I find it disastrous that every one of these congressional hearings, that NONE of the people come with answers to the questions posed! 🤯
“I want to talk about it in front of the American people”👍🏼 Respect
“But I want to talk about it in front of the American people.” Thank you Senator Kennedy.
Don't worry they are not gonna change it anyways. Its a show for the sheep and dogs.
Kennedy is defiantly on of the top 10 politicians asking questions that should be brought before the American people. He totally has that Colombo method down. Colombo was a fictitious YV investigator from the 70s era. He would also after questioning a suspect and walking towards the door say "there is just one more thing" 😂
@@exteriorized but his wife is loyal to the CCP.
He needs to openly talk to the American people about the need to implement Bill Still's solution to this mess. He describes the solution in the last 33 minutes of his documentary. The Money Masters. We should have NEVER let the banks take control of our monetary system! And everyone in congress should DEMAND we take it back!
@@vytallicaq.6881 Ya that's fine but one would have to listen to Lyndon LaRouche to know HOW to take it back. Glass-Steagall is the answer. Reinstate the 1933 Glass-Steagall Act. Which Bill Clinton repealed 1999. Separate commercial Banks from the thieving Merchant Bank speculators. I have NO respect for Jaimie Diamond. He is a thief and a traitor to our Republic. But the solution is then to save our commercial banks by putting them through an orderly bankruptcy proceeding. We need our commercial banks to not collapse and throw the whole world into chaos. The Merchant Banks will have to fend for themselves. Not one red cent from the FDIC for the speculators. They made their bets and they can take the losses not We the American People. No more bailouts with our childrens and grandchildrens future,.
Thank you Senator Kennedy for sticking up for the Tax Payer. IT feels like we are turning into slaves to a very corrupt system with people who need to be held accountable for the failure of our country.
We were all turned into slaves a long long time ago
Eddie James, you are absolutely right we were turned into slaves intentionally to continually be in debt and indebted to the Cabal. We are not idiots. We are not tinfoil hat wearers… we are not nuts. We are patriotic Americans who have had it and are not going to take it any longer. We need more Senator Kennedy’s.
@@eddiejamesmagic4207 Jews ?
I hope he will continue to do right. Still not sure of him.
😞 So many ppl need to go to jail over this, for so long. All our institutions are corrupted beyond repute. Our media is under lockdown by the rich who pay off our elected officials who then strip our rights away take our money and soon will turn us into a surveillance state. What are we suppose to do? What president can take down and restructure the CIA, FBI, DOJ, FED, and others? I don't see how we fix this honestly.
If Senator Kennedy were to have me before him asking about whether I took my trash can out last night, I'd probably just curl up and cry. And I DID take my trash can out. But he is that good! God I love watching his videos.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Kennedy is way underrated!He's so witty with calling these crooked people out!. We need more men like Senator Kennedy. Love him..
We need a fully transparent public audit of the fed...
You’ll need to cite the jurisprudence of this private entity having to subject itself to public inquiry.
We need to end the ..

We’d end up with a heart attack, go stir crazy or become irrational if we knew the real truth.
All of this should be aired in front of the American people.
The electorate doesn't care...
Problem is the banks pull the media strings

Sadly, even when given the chance, their eyes glaze over and the begin to wonder what is playing on The Disney Channel, or some such Legacy Media Drek. Whoever called it "The Opiate Of The Masses" wasn't far off at all
Only "Insurrection show" agenda made prime time.
I love Rep. Kennedy. He's one of the best in Congress, zeros in in the problems even when he can't get a straight answer from witnesses, yet keeps a sense of humor with everything that's happening.
He's spot on. A divorce is child's play compared to firing a federal employee. I know this first hand.
The federal reserve are not government employees.
Never said they were, only making an analogy. I have tried to fire two incompetent federal employees; it is lengthy and the employee seems to have far more rights than joe taxpayer.@@JeepWrangler1957
How do this man, as an Inspector General of an organization not have any metrics or accounting on the investigations they conduct readily available?!?!?! Absolutely unreal and speaks to either incompetence, or a willing omission to conceal what his office is doing!
Wrong. It speaks to USA-style unfettered capitalism that lets the banks to whatever the hell they want, no questions asked. He doesn't know because he has no legal mechanism to even ask, let alone demand, that the 40,000+ banks in the US give him any data at all.
Oh he does, but he knows nothing will happen to him if he just refuses to answer.
That's because they do nothing all year long and play golf and eat. See how nervous he got when speaking about his Salary.
@@philipgrassi4579 He wasn't nervous at all, except for the fact that he basically said "I get paid the same as everyone else." That might be $200k plus but it's not millions. Americans just don't get it. Government jobs get paid *SHIT* compared to private companies. Maybe $200k vs $million in private firms. Many government employees only work their to get inside information, to boost their salaries as contractors. Some earn $10,000 an HOUR (no joke) outside of government, simply because of the contacts they make IN government. And it's worth it to those companies, because they get things done (major deals over a beer with gov employees.) "Government employees" being overpaid is NOT the problem, the problem is people who go government for a few years to build networks and get inside intel, then go corporate to sell their secrets.
every second hurts my head. My boss.. did you dig that ditch, me.. a ditch needed to be dug. My boss did you dig it? me.. ditches have dirt and rocks in them. MY BOSS... Did you dig the Fing ditch! me... I like ditches that are dug well.
"Do they get a bonus when they say inflation is transitory, and it's not? LOL classic Sen Kennedy right there.
It's a bullshit question. Fed aims for 2% inflation. Of course it isn't "transitory" when 2% per year is their stated goal. Why not -2%? Because deflation creates as many problems as inflation. "Transitory inflation" is code for "We don't want low but steady inflation." It certainly doesn't mean "We want no inflation."
He’s the BEST!
I honestly can't tell if that is sarcasm or not.
Senator Kennedy is a real American and serving the proud people of America.
Love You Sen. Kennedy. You are Always Prepared, so why are the "Swamp Folks" Not??!!. Thank You, Sen. Kennedy !!
All these officials at these hearings prove their lack of knowledge and their incompetence and still walk out with their jobs. Simply amazing.
it's a feature mate, not a bug
It's not incompetence it's playing dumb in front of an audience
pretense! Which is worse.
They are communists
It’s all planned they can manufacture numbers like everything else
"Trump ate my homework" is the Fed's default position these days. Well put, Senator Kennedy.
That one really cracks me up!!! He's awesome in these hearings~ tells it like it is and always asks the REAL questions any of us would ask if we were given the chance. Too bad the person being asked almost always can't/won't answer~ and WE'RE paying their ridiculously inflated salaries. It's a disgrace.
Genius
Please pick on the federal reserve… Is it well known it’s a private entity?
@@tc559 what's True? The part of Trump being guilty of all their problems, years after he is out of office? Or that Trump is used as a way to distract people from the true crimes they are actively concealing? In the end, regardless if Trump played part or most likely not, these people in these positions will end up like Joan of Arc. They will be sacrificed to hide their master.

Hard to answer a question when the person asking the question wrote laws preventing you from seeking the answers. US banking regulatory agencies have no real power over the banks.

And we pay their damn salaries that they DON'T deserve 🤬
If you knew that the goal was to vilify and then crucify you, what would you say or do that would make any difference. Answer: Nothing.

There are millions who don't think like you do and want actual ANSWERS to these questions.... To vilify and crucify.... You mean like they do to Republicans at EVERY FUCKING TURN THEY CAN? The ONLY reason, beyond actual incompetence, that they would continue to push back the way they do is because of GUILT. They KNOW they've done wrong and are trying to save their own asses, totally afraid if they say the wrong thing they will provide the resources for their own demise. But you keep on preaching that they are just worried about being vilified and crucified in an ill gotten manner. I'm sure you were part of the side that loves crucifying those that don't agree with your logic so it's just a matter of time before you're eaten by your own side....
Rock on Senator ⭐Kennedy! What do ANY of these "officials" know about ANYTHING other than their name and title?
They know how much they are paid.
I watched it twice. These federal employees are paid by the taxpayers to investigate the banks So when the banks fail, it's legitimate for the taxpayers to ask: "What the hell have you been doing all this time?". Kennedy is doing this here. The federal employee with this responsibility has no answer to "What the hell have you been doing?". So why have him there? Why pay for federal employees who do not perform the task that we have them there to perform?
They know the size of their paycheck. They know that doing a few years of "public service" will get them an even bigger paycheck in the private sector so their connections can be exploited... Though I assume that wasn't what you were referring to lol
I know nothing...
They are installed to block any investigations
Thank you senator Kennedy
Love ❤️ and respect you Senator Kennedy ❤️🇺🇸😘🤗🙏
Sen. Kennedy said it all when he said "Nobody ever goes to jail"
If the crime is egregious enough to be an embarrassment, retirement or resignation is always an option e.g. Lois Lerner. "Lost" e-mails, pleaded the 5th. never prosecuted, even by Trump's AG

Funny that the IG said his salary is an average of other 12 colleagues salaries including their bonus but when Kennedy asked if he gets a bonus he said no. Play on words … his bonus is built in.
It also means his salary is variable, based on the bonuses the other twelve receive, so he has to have some idea of the bonuses others are getting.

You can thank jews for that and a crooked president...
There's no provision for a justice dept either in the constitution, but we have to contend with the FBI every day too!!
Correct, I believe its was 1913 that a private bank call Federal Reserve became United States central bank. This bank help financed US WWI and WWII and that how they got control of the US government.

He always cracks me up.
The Federal Reserve needs investigating.
Those committing treason should be still held accountable even today!
Treason is the act of overthrowing the government, usually by killing the government's leader. What these people are doing is following the orders Joe Biden. The only way we get rid of these good little soldiers is to elect a new president.
Right! There's no statute of limitations on treason.
Senator Kennedy puts his Questions so simple to understand!! There’s no excuse for them to not answer!!! 🥲🙏🏻🇺🇸

The fact he doesn't want to talk about it in front of the American people should alarm everyone and tells you all you need to know. #OurSystemIsCorrupted
People hate him because he’s plain spoken. He doesn’t pretend to be someone he isn’t. He doesn’t pretend to be sophisticated or know more than he does. He admits he’s just a country boy and isn’t ashamed of it. He tells it like it is, cut and dried. Everyone listening to him understands just what he’s saying. There’s no double talk. People underestimate him because of his slow talking and polite demeanor to their detriment. I’m a big fan of his and not just because I’m from Louisiana.

Investigating the. Truth tellers. Evadence to hush them up or get them fired
Senator Kennedy,sir you are awesome.
“I want to talk about it in front of the American people” the best sentence I’ve heard from Washington in over 2 years. Thank you senator Kennedy. You are definitely one of a kind.
OF the People By the People For the People. SO, why are they hiding everything from WE THE PEOPLE ?
Best counter to that sentence is the usual response: "I don't want to give you the wrong number, I'd have to check into that and inform you in the future". They always deflect in the most professional business "I'm not talking" way.
I do agree with your statement, Senator Kennedy is truly there for answers and has been there due to his wisdom.
his state is one of the poorest , and probably most corrupt..New Orleans and Baton Rouge and Shreveport make every single list on most violent cities per capita
@@dialedmedia_ He should have that number. If he doesn't have it he's obstructing
I love this guy. “ do they get a bonus when they say inflation is transitory, and it’s not”. Priceless.
😂😂😂😂
Leslie neilson needs to answer a question.
Senator Kenedy, my admiration, Sir.
“I don’t want to pick on the Federal Reserve - I just want to treat them like everyone else”. Actually imposing standards on governing agencies. 👏👏👏👏👏. Senator Kennedy leading the way once again!!!
The Federal Reserve isn't a government agency, it's a private banking cabal.
Wrong! The Federal Reserve IS NOT a federal agency. This is the kind of ignorance that is infuriating. The federal reserve is a cartel of international banks that CONTROL OUR CURRENCY. Their policies directly impact and degrade our economy. I suggest you start reading about this.
Treating the people that print money out of thin air shackling generations to debt slavery * like everyone else. This is a theater performance faking accountability. Nothing will ever be done sadly.
This IG who is supposed be the watchdog, is supposed to report to his own boss, who hired him and can fire him, and tell that his boss he isn't doing his job right. That's a bad setup. The Senate needs to be in charge of appointing the IG. That's why he doesn't often find wrongdoing
Isn't the federal reserve actually owned or ran by someone who isn't a American citizen like a Rothschild? He wouldn't care if America fell. In fact it's the agenda!
imagine if a soldier came to the battlefield with half his ammo
Soldiers are murderers!
Senator Kennedy is the best Senator out there.
Smartest Man in the room and one of the very few with the AMERICAN publics best interest at Heart.
Love how nobody in the administration never answer any questions
the majority of democrats are communist proxies or criminals.
Ever.
Imagine walking into a Macdonald asking for a happy meal and the cashier has no idea what a happy meal is .
Hahaha ☺️🤭
I like Kennedy's approach to questions acting like he knows nothing but in a totally sarcastic manner without totally calling the wotnesses idiots
"I'll have to look into it, Senator, and get back to you," Yeah right.
OMG these government agencies wouldn’t last one hour in the private sector
Oh yes they would in some companies and have. Look closely at the corporations that have gone out of business in this country. See how top heavy they were and how they kept employees such as this while letting people like this get rid of people who were working hard and doing a good job. Most of us have seen it and left those corporations as soon as we could.
Federal reserve is a Private Bank, it's Not part of the Government, that's the Problem, people are mislead by their Name, look up 1913 Jekyll Island, the Truth behind the Federal Reserve.
The federal reserve is not a government agency, it's a private bank. That's the problem, we need to get rid of the federal reserve asap.
@Tom Sawyer I’ll bet you don’t run a corporation either. At least not one listed on the stock exchange.
None of these high paid government employees have statistics. The head of OPM had no idea how many employees were still working from home post pandemic. Had no clue on attrition rate based on age, etc. but she’s a 6 figure salary employee (SES)
Sen John Kennedy is one of the greatest senators of all time.
AGREE 👍🏼
When was the last time he directed law enforcement to lock up courrpt feds ? I'm not sure that ever happened.
John Kennedy is a smoothy! His gentle mannerisms and his kind and subtle words could not have been any clearer: “Good grief, man! How on earth can you be so unprepared to answer any of these questions?!” 😂
I am from the UK and absolutely love watching John Kennedy. He comes across as down home folksy and a little bit confused and he only ever really asks one question but he has a mind like a steel trap. He is a master cross examiner. I wish he would come over here do some our Select Committees that are supposed to keep our Govt and civil servants held to account.
Isn't it weird that your politicians in gov't are becoming so much like ours? Has Nancy Pelosi been sneaking over there and giving them the "how to get power and keep it at all costs, regardless of how it will destroy your country" play-book?? For what it's worth, I'm so sorry about that!!!
He actually speaks for a majority of us deep southern american men. We are not stupid or behind as others think. Actually the housing boom right now is in the south because everyone is moving here from their failed states. Good thing is they will have to integrate into our ways in most cases because we have very few large cities.
Yes, he's a very sharp guy make no mistake!
@nathaniel platt No offense but you can keep your area! My Upper Midwest state has gained 5% population every year for last 5yrs+. Don't make blanket statements!
@@faith.s_mom I get the very strong feeling that our Labour party here are getting briefings from the Democrats and are working hand in glove on certain issues. There are a lot of links between them with certain key figures having spent time in Washington. The weaponization of race is a big one. I have travelled a lot in the USA and the UK has historically not had the same level of racial tension that the US has had. However, when the George Floyd murder happened, we immediately got our mainstream media (which universally liberal left woke on steroids) in a massive pile on making out that we had the same racial problems. Black Lives Matter became a hashtag here, our soccer players started taking the knee on the pitch before all games. Anyone that said anything against it was immediately labelled a racist.
