Sen. Kennedy 'The LOON wing of the Democratic Party is in control' · INSIGHT TODAY

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: While the socialists have now gone coast to coasts, with
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: socialist Katie Wilson officially defeating the incumbent Democratic mayor of Seattle.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: Wilson's first move was to call for a boycott of
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: hometown Seattle Starbucks.
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: I could not be proud or to stand here with
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: Starbucks baristas in solidarity today. I am asking everyone who
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: believes in fairness, dignity, and workers' rights to stand with
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: us on this picket line while baristas are on strike.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: The baristas have shared that the best way to show
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: our support is not to buy Starbucks in solidarity.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: And like Zoron Mom, Donnie Wilson has expressed support for
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: government run grocery stores, while a newly resurfaced clip shows
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: her taking it a step further and trying to regulate
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: private businesses that need to close.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: When Bay corporations layoff hundreds of people overnight, the whole
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: community suffers. We need to set the standard here in Seattle.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: Corporations must give ninety days notice for mass layoffs and
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: fair severance pay.
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: For laid off workers.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: Seattle families deserve fresh, affordable food, and workers deserve dignity
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: and stability.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: Wilson not only shares many of Zorn's views. She also
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: hopes to have that coast to coast socialist partnership.
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: Not yet, although I certainly hope to, you know. And
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: it's funny because when I decided to run in this race,
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: which was in February of this year, I had never
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: heard of Zoron Mom Donnie, and so it was a
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: fun process over the first few months of my campaign
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: to start getting text messages from friends, Oh, you got
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: to check out this guy in New York City. And
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: so I really do think it's remarkable and also makes
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: a lot of sense, right. I think that there are
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: some similar conditions playing out here in Seattle to New York,
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: you know, obviously the affordability crisis being a big one,
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: and yeah, there's some very similar dynamics. And I'm really
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: excited to have a coast to coast partnership on driving
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: forward this vision of an affordable city and.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Back on the East Coast MARILECT Mom Donnie is holding
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: secret meetings with Senator Elizabeth Warren Bill maher last night
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: with This Morning to his party about him seeing socialism.
• 2:02
  Speaker 5: Socialism, to put it, simply, just doesn't work and has
• 2:06
  Speaker 5: never worked. We've run this experiment many times, and the
• 2:09
  Speaker 5: results are always obvious. Here's capitalist South Korea at night
• 2:14
  Speaker 5: from space. Here's socialist North Korea.
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 2:18
  Speaker 5: Meanwhile, Venezuela traded capitalism for Hugo Chavez's socialism. For the
• 2:22
  Speaker 5: twenty first century, it turned one of Latin America's richest
• 2:25
  Speaker 5: countries into one of its poorest. Low wages, high inflation, shortages, outages,
• 2:31
  Speaker 5: eight million people fleeing. If you think New York can
• 2:34
  Speaker 5: somehow reinvent this wheel, you're in for a rude awokening.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Let's bring on the ever so clever Republican senator from Louisiana.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: You know I'm talking about John Kennedy. He's the author
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: of the new book How to Test Negative for Stupid
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: and Why Washington Never Will Great title Senator Kennedy in
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: the Senate, it seems that the socialism battles really playing out.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: You have Bernie Sanders, whose voice continues to rise. You
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: have Chuck Schumer potentially being underc by AOC in a primary.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: And then you have lone voices like John Fetterman, voices
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: of reason who are continually being undermined. I'm curious your
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: experience as socialism battles out across the country. What do
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: you hear in the halls of the Senate.
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: Well, those who have read history, Okay, we understand that
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: socialism is for morons. I love Seattle. They just elected
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: a new mayor. I don't know her, but I've read
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: a lot about her. She's a typical moonbat, you know.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: Probably she's a community organizer. Probably eats tofu and organic broccoli.
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: She's a self avowed socialist. She's uh proud of things
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: that she should be ashamed of. Uh, she's entitled her opinion.
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: And I don't I know. I guess what I've just said.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: It's kind of mean. I'll stop being mean that if
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: she'll stop being foolish. The Moon wing, the Bolshevik wing,
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: the socialist wing of the Democratic Party is obviously in control.
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: That's what drove the shutdown. That's what made Senator Schumer
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: do what he did. He knew better. Remember Remember the
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: old Jack Nicholson movie line, go sell crazy somewhere else.
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: We're all stocked up here. I don't think Chuck saw
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: the movie. Chuck kept saying, Chuck kept saying, we got this,
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: but none of them had it, and they all needed therapy.
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: And they hurt the American people badly, but we all
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: stuck together, with the exception of Senator Paul I want
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: to thank President Trump for sticking with us and all
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: Senator Schumer got out of it. Out of it was
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: allowsy T shirt that said, you know, life is hard,
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: but it's hard to when you're stupid.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know. I want to ask you about a
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: bill that you had. You had a bill that you
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: wanted to put senators pay and House members pay and
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: escrow that if TSA workers are sleeping in their cars,
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: we shouldn't have lawmakers getting paid. And there was a
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: constitutional workaround to perhaps make that feasible. I'm sad to
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: see that legislation go away because we could face a
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: January shutdown. Do you think that should be revived? Lawmakers pay,
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: put an escrow so American people don't suffer.
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: I'm going to try to revive it. Look, I just
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: believe in shared sacrifice. I believe in one rule for everybody.
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: If nobody else was being paid, senators shouldn't be paid.
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: I didn't take my pay. Some did. I'm not putting
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: down anybody who did, but I just think we need
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: to set an example. I wanted to add an amendment
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: to the resolution that got us out of the shutdown. Uh,
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: the Senate Republican leadership blocked me. They agreed to send
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: send it to a committee, which will be voted on
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: week after next. I'm faint with surprised if they block
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: it there. I know it's not popular with some of
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: my colleagues, but I just think it's I just think
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: it's you.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: It would be a great way to avert a shutdown. Sorry,
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: I just want to interrupt you because we only have
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: a few seconds, and I want to talk about your book,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: How to Fix Stupid. That's a great you know way
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: to way to fix stupid is maybe not pay the
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: lawmakers during a shutdown so they don't make dumb decisions.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: Your thoughts on your new book, which we're excited to
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: check out.
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: Well, if you want to understand the shutdown, read the book.
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: It's a story book. I use stories to talk about policy.
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: I use stories to explain why in Washington, normal is
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: a setting on the clothes dryer, and to try to
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: explain why it doesn't have to be if we'll have
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: a return to common sense. We're number two on the
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: New York Times Bestseller list, so I'm kind of proud
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: of that look. I hope the book will make people think.
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: It may make them laugh, might make you day drink.
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: But all the stories, even the deeply bizarre ones, are
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: all true, and it's the unvarnished truth.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: Well, it seems that the American people are attracted to
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: your wisdom, Senator John Kennedina, I don't blame them. Thank
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: you so much for joining us on a Saturday morning.
