'Y'all Want To Talk About The Problem But You Never Want To Answer': Kennedy Gets Testy With Witness 

Why is it so hard to fire people who won't do their jobs?

As an engineer and ACTUAL scientist that isn’t bribed, Im qualified to state that this “carbon thing” has only ever been a huge idiotic scam.

Our "ELECTED" officials are allowed to ask "tough questions" but that's the extent. When do the criminals that we have on the peoples payroll start going to jail??

Always keep in mind that these "doctors", "professors", "experts" and "authorities" will always have all the food, heat, money, comfort, security and privilege they will ever need while you are freezing and starving in a dark house---or maybe even in your car---if you're still lucky enough to have even that when they are done saving the world from you, and you from yourself.

1. "Never let a crisis go to waste". 2. Maintain the useful crisis as long as possible. 3. If there's no useful crisis, create one. 4. Shhhh! Prevent victims from recovering. 5. ALWAYS BLAME CONSERVATIVES. 6. Logic and facts are not required.

God save America from this administration. The worse time in my 50 years.

These guys havent come up with any new ideas than those whoch I was taught in middle school in 1992. Way to go guys.

The greatest question and answer hash -out of all time! When the Honorable Senator said, “of course it’s complicated. That’s why you’re here.” I about lost my mind.

the one guy is right , IT WILL COST US OUR COUNTRY ...plain and simple

Calling the people “Professor” and “Doctor” is like calling a woodpecker a carpenter.

It does not matter if America had 0% carbon emissions, unless China and other countries do the same, it is pointless to put ourselves at at a disadvantage to these other countries...

I can feel Sen Kennedy's frustration. Several hundred billion dollars and the loss of our country sounds like an awful lot to me.

Senator is a national treasure. He has more common sense than a whole room full of pinhead PhD professors.

God bless this guy. He has his head on straight.

Good to hear the hard questions being asked. Didn’t expect any real answers 😢

Cap and Trade is the biggest boondoggle developed in this century

Sen. Kennedy is the real deal. Need more Senators like him for sure

How can you not love Mr. Kennedy. Thank you !!@!

The shame of this is that none of it matters. No matter how ridiculous these people are made to look they have the political clout to force these things upon us. How many times has Senator Kennedy made cabinet members and "experts" look like bumbling idiots and then nothing comes of it. There is no accountability.

I love senator Kennedy he's a no BS guy!!¡ And it really comes down to common sense!!!! Keep giving it to them!

I asked myself, “Why isn’t this guy POTUS?” Then I answered myself “He’s too smart for that!”

If I was one of those guys and knew I had to go face Kennedy, I'd call in sick that day. He has more brains, more common sense, than ALL the Democrats in Washington.

God bless Senator Kennedy. You express our deepest thoughts & concerns. You intestinal fortitude to seek truth inspires us all. 🙏🏼💕👍

I AM SO SICK OF HEARING ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE!!!!!!

"I'm personally not in favor of nuclear." Translation: "I'm not even kind of serious about reducing carbon emissions."

I love the way Sen.Kennedy starts out, using the platonic method, acting like a fool, and he has all these experts in front of him and not one of them can answer his simple question. This is his genius. And then the expert says "It's difficult" to answer. To which Sen. Kennedy answer "Of course its difficult, that's why y'all here!" Priceless.

God bless you.

Senator Kennedy Thank you for being a voice for the people!! 🇺🇸😇🙏

The one fellow said the truth: "IT WOULD COST US OUR COUNTRY"

Note to self: Do not send the kids to Cambridge for college.

His smackdowns are legendary

These people are nuts 😡

How genius? They have all these dreamy ideas but how do people live in the carbon free world? No actual steps… “work with” means you have no idea!

He is my idol. Most underrated senator of the bunch

I love this guy! Kennedy rocks

Why isn’t there a special commission to investigate all acts of questionable injustices ? Also a special fund for due compensation to families.

I love the part where the guys doesn't finish saying what he wants to say and inadvertently tells the truth. - "It would cost our country"

"How much would it cost?" "Our country." An honest answer, at least. And *THAT* is why the others won't answer the question.

VIVA JOHN KENNEDY! BOLD, SMART, funny as heck. LET COMMON SENSE REIGN for a change!

I like Kennedy’s straight talking , so good

The ELEPHANT in the room that everyone is overlooking is that, unlike China and other “developing nations” (China has the oldest DOCUMENTED nation in HISTORY), the United States is NOT building new Fossil Fueled power plants. For 41 years I worked in the Electric Production side of a Louisiana Electric Power Corporation, and within the year, one of the largest units we have came online in 1975. These units were designed to last about 30 years. It is 48 years old right now. America’s power grid capacity is older than it has ever been. There aren’t enough unused open spaces to install enough solar panels, nor are there enough places in Louisiana with consistent wind speeds to power wind turbines to sustain the load on the electric grid, just in Louisiana, and the same is true for the vast majority of the states in America. No wind = No electricity from a wind turbine. The open areas are currently being used for such “whimsical activities” such as agriculture, grazing land for livestock, you know, places for FOOD PRODUCTION. Environmental nutcases don’t seem to care about things like that. They would have us clear-cut vast areas of forest land for solar panel installation, though they forget that trees use Carbon Dioxide to produce a silly gas that intelligent people call Oxygen, also conveniently overlooking the fact that we need lumber to build houses in which to live. Investors are NOT going to tie up their money in the development of NEW Fossil Fueled Power Plants because of the FACT that Left Wing politicians won’t allow them to run in the very near future. It is VERY possible that there isn’t enough time to replace the AGING Fossil Fueled Power Plants with new Fossil Fueled Boilers along with new steam turbines, generators and all the necessary equipment to support each unit before Electric Power Companies will be forced to ration electricity, simply because the demand is quickly growing much faster than the ability to supply electricity 24/7/365. You can bury your head in the sand, but I’m telling you the Truth and FACTS ARE KRYPTONITE TO THE LEFT!

FRIGGING RIGHT. Senator Kennedy.!!!

Just answer the damn question 😢😢😢😢😢

He did give him an answer though..

These people are frightening because of their “rules”. They’ve no idea how much comes from fossil fuels. If they are serious about it, take away everything they own made of petroleum.

Love Mr Kennedy. He’s straight to point and it seems the only one with brains!!

A bully is a bully even with no teeth.

I have apartments in my building selling for 2 million in Florida. Mar a lago worth $18 is absolutely laughable. More like $118 million

That’s how you deal with self-flagellating idiots like these. I’m tired of being dragged through the mud by people like this, all for daring to question their motives and figures.

"It will cost our liberties, it will cost our economy, it will cost our country." Most HONEST answer we've heard. Great job, sir! Great job senator Kennedy! I'm so proud of you! These people dont care about the true costs. They do not care who lives or dies. As long as they get what they want. THAT is true profit over people. Human beings are far more important than these peoples bank accounts. Stand up now before there is no America. We are on the precipice of complete destruction. 😢 We can't let this happen.

This shows you just how out of touch the colleges are.

THANX JEN....YOU KNOW I HAD TO SHARE

He was correct on saying it would cost us our country.

Democrats playbook. Step 1. Manufacture a crisis. Step 2. Blame someone else. Step 3. Blame the crisis. Step 4. Get funding to "combat" crisis. Step 5. Get rich. Step 6. Repeat.

Thank you Kennedy. All of this cost will be passed to the consumer plus some.

This man should be president

Kennedy has this magical way of turning mumbo-jumbo into a logical and sensible way of thinking for all of us.

These people keep talking about putting caps on certain emissions and other things, then replacing it with something else with promises that it will cost less. How about putting an unchangeable cap on how much money can be spent to make the changes? BTW, when that one guy said that the government would not be paying for these things, he is absolutely right. The government never pays for anything. The taxpayers pay for what the government spends. The government spends money but never pays for anything.

So true Senator Kenenedy! More and more I ask myself the question: "Can anyone answer a straight forward question nowadays?" What is the reason for such inability to answer a straight forward question today? Thank you and have a wonderful life. Oh and remember life does not come to an end - promise of Jesus - because even on death, "life has changed, not ended". The latter is a certainty of victory over death- amazing and True! So keep Faith, hope and Love and as your friend noted "you are always entertaining" keep up the splendid work. Love in God to you, yours and all there too! Amen Glory to God in the Highest level of Love forever. ❤❤❤😁

At least the one man openly said it would cost, "the country".

Senator John Kennedy, I love your assessment of what these guys are trying to do.....not much. Senator you are a national treasure and I certainly love to hear you anytime you are speaking. Awesome, down to earth kind of a guy. You have more common sense in your little finger than the presenters . God bless you!

Senator Kennedy is a great man, there is no one like him, he's a no nonsense guy, we need more like him!

This isn't Cambridge! THIS IS SPARTA!

If you're going to suggest we do a project you should know about how much the project is going to cost

These fools are dangerous!

"Is that a yearly figure?" These people have no idea what fake number they're supposed to give lol

They don't want to answer or don't know. I have a relative that was on some voluntary city committee on "climate change". I just said to her one day, '80% of Maine uses heating oil, how many windmills will it take to replace that?' She had no clue. It's pipe dreams and lollypops.

The one guy said the quiet part out loud. What will it cost?? Our country.

I love Kennedy. 😂 his sarcasm is hilarious. He doesn’t mess around at all.

It’s amazing how far a hoax can go.

incompetence hidden by a word salad is the new norm FFS

The Issue with these people, is that they have all these ideals, but none involve us not freezing to death or dying of heat stroke. Cause none of the items they want us to use, really gives out enough energy to match what the items we are using now are doing, day or night time. Solar only works if the sun is out and if you have enough batteries to store up that extra energy you don't use, Wind is the same way. Plus they leave out, they use Gas powered Generators to keep wind farms defrosted. Like if it produces energy, can't some of that energy be used for that effect.

I absolutely love how Mr Kennedy sets them and let's them prove their complete idiots

I would start with giving every "expert witness" a written set of baseline questions in advance of the hearing that they be able to answer before even showing up for the hearing. For example, "How much will it cost to transition from fossil fuels to green energy by 2050?" It's as simple as that. If they can't give a plain answer to a written question in advance of the hearing, they are not allowed to testify. So, no answer gets the boot. Anyone who claims it isn't their area of expertise is likewise booted. They obviously don't need to be there.

It's all ridiculous 👎

Think of the money the ‘experts’ would make scare mongering and pontificating if you gave them an open cheque book.

The best question that no one asks is “can you name the negative consequences of what you’re proposing?” Cause they can’t, because they don’t care what the consequences are.

It’s sad that a simple question is being asked to these professors, highly educated people who can’t even give a ball park estimate. That old saying of educated idiot comes to mind

Ask them this: has there ever in the life of this planet been a period when the climate was static?

It's a budget meeting not a summit!

Senator Kennedy, the world needs more men like him!!!

The don’t care about cost. That’s why academics are indebted with student loans for degrees that will NEVER generate enough $ to pay them off. #fiscalresponsibility

I’m all for moving towards a more efficient planet, reduced pollution, heat, etc, but any business/ government needs to know the cost. $€¥£

" What will it cost..?" "Our country". Let's go green!!

Pretty much these so called “consultants” just talk out of their butts!

Such a pleasure to watch an honest, intelligent Senator such as Mr Kennedy. Senate needs more of this kind of person. Educated and thoughtful

“It would cost our liberties.” Oh, hell no.

F ing WORD SALAD 🤬 Who is held accountable when all this does not work. These paid experts HAVE NO CLUE !!

As someone who works in the renewable sector I am always astonished when people forget to mention that wind and solar are not carbon neutral from the jump. They need some time to be so.

Senator Kennedy is one of the few senators that stand up for the country.

I think you heard it all, they got no idea - nor do they care. That’s why you stay in research, academia and politics and never be held accountable!!!

The term “educated fools” comes to mind.

Kennedy's great, tell it like it is..

That was stunningly GOOD!!! Senator Kennedy works for the American PEOPLE!!!!

Unbelievable!

I have to say I watch this alot no one ever has answers and they say I will have to get back to you.

Senator Kennedy we need more senators like you as these clowns think they can get a blank check for this ridiculous green BS

Someone give me one example of where any cost estimate that involves the Government doesn't end up being off by at least 10,000%

Thank God none of these “experts“ will be king for a day.

200 billion😂😂😂😂 In Australia they’ve said Trillions. Smfh
