Kennedy on Hannity: Democratic socialists believe in kale, cold plunges, and tofu piccata

All right, now to calm things down a little bit this Friday night, we are only 39 days away from the all-important midterms. In just two years, America has gone from wide open borders to secure borders, the highest drug overdose deaths to the highest life expectancy in our history, lowest murder rate in history, 20 percent inflation under Biden to prices that have Let it become stable. The difference? Democrats care. Most about their insane socialist ideology, while Republicans, they believe in our Constitution, liberty, freedom, and want to improve the lives and opportunities of Americans in the greatest, freest, most prosperous country God ever gave man. With reaction, Louisiana Senator John Kennedy. Senator, appreciate you being with us, and I will not be fighting with you. The same as Comrade de Blasio. You had interesting comments about socialism recently. If you have to break it down. And explain it, because that's what's on the ballot this year. What do you tell people? Well, Sean, I listen to these new leaders of the Democratic Party, Mayor Mondani, Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez, Dr. Al Syed in Michigan. Um... And when I listen to them, they're all socialists. When I listen to them, it's why I believe. In free speech, because how else would we know who the idiots are? You can't make this stuff up, and as long as they're in charge, you don't have to. No disrespect, but it must suck to be that dumb. I'm going to say it again. Republicans aren't perfect, but the other side's crazy. Um... It... And they are in control, the congresswoman, the mayors. I could go on with all the other ones, Senator Sanders. They're in control of the Democratic Party. And they're all college educated. But here's their agenda. They believe in kale, cold plunges, and tofu piccata. They want to open the border, they want to open the prisons, they want to defund ICE, they want to defund the police, they think we deserve, America deserves 9-11, and they are socialists. They hate free enterprise. They think if you've made any money in our system of free enterprise, you either had to steal it or oppress somebody. And I would say to your viewers out there, if any of them are thinking they like socialism, I would ask them one question. When the Berlin Wall fell, who ran to which side? Socialism is for morons. And history has demonstrated that time and time and time again. But that's what we're running against. And what I tell people when I debate socialism is, look, unless you were in the quad playing Frisbee during Econ 101 or History 101, you have to know that socialism is for morons. It didn't work in the USSR. That doesn't work in Cuba. It didn't work in Argentina before Argentina changed. jurisdictions. It didn't work in Israel. Israel was originally, when it was founded, socialist. They dumped that. All socialism is, is the equal sharing of misery. And these folks say, yeah, but everything is free. Well, everything may be free, but when you go to try to get it, they're always out of it. Go spend a little time in Cuba. But that's what we're running against, Sean. I've been out there in other states campaigning for my mates. At least 10, I'll be in more. I don't know how these elections are going to turn out, but I don't recognize the Democratic Party and all these socialists. And I'm going to tell you, I want you as a friend, if I die before the midterms and there's voter fraud, please don't let me vote Democrat. Well said. Here's my question. Here's the hardest question. I'm telling my audience, don't pay attention to the polls. The polling has been atrocious this entire election cycle. So I'm saying don't let them deflate you. Don't let them influence you. Don't believe these polls. But are you saying you think they can win? Well, the polling is so bad. Look, it's undeniable that at least according to the current polling, It's closer than it ought to be in some states. But A, the polling in the last few non-presidential elections has been very bad. But I just came out of the field that I paid for a poll in Michigan for Mike Rogers. And I think so many other polls have Mike behind Dr. Abdul. And I use a good pollster. I tell him, don't sugarcoat. I want to know straight up what the numbers are. And my numbers have Mike Rogers ahead. And the more we talk about the Lulu Linens and the merits of free enterprise versus socialism, the better off we're going to be. And I think we're going to be okay. I think we'll... I don't know much about the House. I depend on Mike Johnson and Steve Scalise, my old friends there. We'll hold the Senate, but we're going to have to fight for every inch because, well, you know the reason. People are upset with the cost of living, and frankly, they're confused about Iran. We're winning in Iran, but we have to spend time explaining to people why we went in, how much damage we've done. How we're going to get out. It is amazing to me. I have yet to read an article in a major periodical or see a story on a major TV station yet in America about how much damage we have done to Iran. It will be, we have gutted them like a fish. It'll be 20 years and a billion dollars before they're going to recover. And a weaker Iran... Makes for a safer Middle East and a safer world. They have no air defenses. If they ever start a nuclear weapons program again, we'll know in a nanosecond. And without air defenses, we'll go in and just bomb them again. But that story's not being told. I don't think the story about borders is being told or the largest tax cut in history is being told or the murder rate being at a historic low. They're not telling any of the story. No, the average tax refund for the average American this year was up 12%, for God's sakes. Uh, there, that, there's There's a reason for that. It's the one big, beautiful bill. We secured the border. We cut crime. We cut the federal workforce 11%. We cut rules and regulations. America learned how to fight again. We've got a good story to tell. Senator Kennedy, one of my favorite senators, always appreciate you coming on to keep up the good fight. And you're not dying anytime soon. Not on my watch. I forbid it. Well, if I do, man, and they start voting, if I do and they start voting dead people, don't you let them vote me Democrat. I promise that I will make that promise, but I don't want to fulfill it. Just you stay healthy, please.
