Senator Kennedy ABSOLUTELY DESTROYS Chuck Schumer in Explosive Speech LIVE

💸 The $36 Trillion Farce: Kennedy Shreds Washington’s Hypocrisy on Spending and Law

In a moment of rare, unvarnished honesty, Senator John Kennedy detonated the sanitized fantasy of Washington politics, exposing the congressional budgeting process as an absolute, cynical farce. This was not a routine budget hearing; it was a necessary demolition of the comfort and hypocrisy that has plunged America into $36 trillion of debt.

The Illusion of the Appropriations Process

Kennedy’s opening salvo was directed at the hollow defense of the “sanctity and integrity” of the appropriations process. He asked the only logical question: “What appropriations process?” He rightly pointed out that this committee had done its job last year, passing most of the required spending bills—the so-called “mini-buses”—only to have them contemptuously buried by the Majority Leader, who refused to bring them to the Senate floor for a vote.

This action proves that Congress’s claims of principled budgeting are a lie. The process is not broken; it is deliberately sabotaged for political leverage. Kennedy’s savage judgment—that anyone who believes Congress will suddenly embrace fiscal responsibility is “Willie Nelson High” and “smoking some of the best dope God ever put breath in”—perfectly captures the contempt the establishment holds for the intelligence of the American public. What we are left with is not governance, but a broken cycle of Continuing Resolutions (CRs) and rescission packages, designed to bypass the very debate that is constitutionally required.

The $5.5 Million “Sick Bucket” and Spending Porn

The core of the financial hypocrisy was revealed when Kennedy focused on President Trump’s rescission package, which aims to cut back on egregious, unnecessary spending. While colleagues dramatically accused the Director of denying “life-saving care,” Kennedy clarified the ugly truth the media obscures: life-saving care isn’t being cut. Roughly $10 billion for life-saving programs remains untouched.

What is being cut is the “sick bucket” stuff: specifically, $5.5 million for “lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and intersex advocacy in Uganda.” This is the definition of spending porn—ideological, self-gratifying foreign aid that has absolutely no bearing on American national security or core humanitarian needs. To aggressively fight for the continued funding of this political pet project while the nation drowns in debt is a moral and fiscal obscenity.

Kennedy’s famous line—that the majority of this body loves “cutting spending porn” but “they’re all for going to heaven, but they’re not ready to make the trip”—is the most precise explanation for the national debt ever uttered. Our leaders are comfortable with the rhetoric of fiscal responsibility, but panic the moment they are asked to make the hard choice and eliminate one dollar of waste.

🏛️ Desecrating History: The Impeachment Nullification Threat

Following Kennedy’s devastating critique of financial malpractice, another voice raised an equally urgent alarm regarding a potentially unprecedented procedural disaster in the Senate. The speaker warned that Senate Democrats were on the verge of making “new history” by attempting to table or summarily dismiss an impeachment of a sitting cabinet official—Secretary Mayorkas—without allowing the constitutionally mandated trial to proceed.

This maneuver, the speaker argued, is not a simple political vote; it is a direct desecration of the Senate’s two-hundred-year history and its foundational traditions. The claim is chilling: the Senate has never once tabled an impeachment. Of the 21 times the House has voted to impeach an official, the Senate has only dismissed three of those cases, and in two of those instances, the official resigned first. The one case where the Senate dismissed an impeachment was due to a jurisdictional issue—a Senator, whom the Senate concluded it could not remove via impeachment.

In this current case, Secretary Mayorkas has not resigned, and everyone agrees Congress has the clear constitutional power to remove a cabinet secretary. The Senate’s purported move to simply toss the House’s evidence into the trash without hearing from either side is a calculated attempt to ignore evidence and nullify the House’s constitutional check on the executive branch.

This is a dangerous new precedent that sacrifices the institution’s integrity for temporary political advantage. By refusing to hold a trial, the Senate is signaling that its rules and historical responsibility mean nothing when they conflict with political necessity, summoning “spirits they won’t be able to control.” Both debates ultimately lead to the same conclusion: Washington’s ruling class has abandoned both fiscal and procedural integrity, demonstrating that they respect neither the law nor the institution they serve.
