Speaker 1 Some health insurance providers in Ireland waste your time with slow claim refunds at Level Health. We’re fed up with all the wasting around. We think it’s about time your claims were paid back quickly via Revolution level Health. It’s about time insurance provided by Aviva Insurance Ireland doc Level Health delimits of trading as Level Health is regulated by

the Central Bank of Ireland.

Speaker 2 Sunday morning, Well, everybody’s doing a lot of thinking. What’s going on in our country. What’s going to happen with the midterm elections? Are we going to get one American one vote? There’s so many problems we have with this.

Senator Kennedy from the great State of Louisiana, and well, Senator, what’s on your mind on Sunday morning.

Speaker 3 Well, I’m politically. I’m thinking about the work that we have to do in Washington when we start up again on Monday. I’m thinking about the midterm elections. I don’t know, John, that we’re going to get a lot done in Washington between now and the midterm elections because we’re going to get virtually no cooperation from our Democratic colleagues. I hope

I’m wrong in that I’m concentrating on the the Senate re election. In the Senate, I’m spending all my time in the battleground states. I found I find fascinating the war going on within the Democratic Party. There is a wing of the Democratic Party. Sometimes I call it the Loon wing. Sometimes I call it the Karen Wing. Sometimes

I call it the Hamas wing. But they are represented by Senator Sanders, Congressoming Locacio, cor Kids, mayor Mom Donnie Graham Platner. These folks feel contempt for America when they should feel gratitude. They hate all millionaires. They’re going to kill all the millionaires, not literally, but they hate them.

They were want to take all their money because they think people who were successful in business stole the money. They want to open all the prisons, they want to open the border. They want to defund ice, they want to defund the police. And every one of them know the words to the Cuban National anthem because they’re socialists,

and they must have been they must have been in the quad playing frisbee during Economics one oh one or history one o one. Because socialism has never worked. Any country just tried it has ultimately rejected. Cuba, Vietnam, China, USSR, Argentina before Malay Venezuela. I could just go down the list.

It won’t It didn’t work there, it won’t work in America. And I don’t think the American people will will embrace. Now what I just described is not all Democrats, but they there are. That is the wing of the Democratic Party that I just described, and made no mistake about it.

They are in control and they will lead their their their party to defeat. In my opinion, Now that you can say, well, what are you complaining about Kennedy you’re a Republican. Well, yeah, I guess that’s good for my party, but it’s bad for my country.

Speaker 2 I understand that. And uh we uh and I don’t understand uh what’s going on in Democratic Party itselves. I mean, uh, there’s a few Democrats have started to raise their heads. The governor Joshua Shapiro from Pennsylvania. Yes, uh and uh uh I talked to last week. I talked to former Senator from West Virginia, Joe Manchin, and he is a

wonderful person and a common sense person. And is common sense gone in in the Democratic Party or are they or are they gonna? Are they going to rise up and squash these socialists.

Speaker 3 Well, common sense is gone among the wing of the party, the the platinerm ok Show COURTD, his mom, Donnie Wing that is in charge, not not not all Democrats believe what they believe, but the Democrats who don’t believe what they believe are keeping very very quiet, And frankly, I don’t know in the short term who’s gonna win that struggle.

I just don’t believe that the American people want to adopt socialism. Open all the prisons, open the border, defund ice uh, defund the police. And I don’t believe they see Cuba as a model to use as a basis for constructing America. And maybe some Democrats do, and this is America and that’s their right, But I just don’t

believe they’ll ever convince the majority of the American people, and until if they keep trying, they’ll lose.

Speaker 2 Well, you know, if the Democratic Socialists ran on their own party of Democratic Socialism, they never get more than two percent. And you know, I’m scratching my head, how can they con the entire Democratic Party that then now the kings.

Speaker 3 Of the land, I think, I think the movement the Mamdani Keshio Cortes. Platinum movement is very strong, and the other Democrats are afraid of them, and they’re they’re they’re trying to figure it all out, but they better hurry.

Our plan for dealing with them is called Operation Let Them Speak. I mean, we all heard mister Platner in Maine. The guy’s mother board his fried He’s he’s about twenty exits past normal. That’s what I mean. He’s an alleged predator.

And when you have a candidate or an opponent like that, you don’t interfere with your opponent when he’s kicking his own ass and he’s self destructive. And many people, many Democrats, almost all Republicans, said, look, if you want to go with this guy, knock yourself out, but it’s not going to end well. And and sure enough, it didn’t end

well well.

Speaker 2 Senator John Kennedy from the great State of Louisiana, thank you for your common sense on a Sunday, and I have a great day with the family. And I don’t know what church you go to, but light an extra candle for all of us.

Speaker 3 I’ll do it, John, thank you for having me.

Speaker 2 Thank you so much, and we’ll talk soon. Good bye,
