Sen. John Kennedy: ‘Everybody Else in America Has a Budget Except the U.S. Government’
RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
TODD: "Joining me now is Republican senator who compared the current climate to that notorious talk show of Jerry springer, senator John Kennedy of Louisiana. And senator, no pressure, but people love your col oakalisms so have some good ones."
KENNEDY: "I'll do my best."
TODD: "Starting with the news from senator graham, I'm sure you share his frustration, do you share to the point that you are also a no. It is time to force everybody to sit at this table on DACA, get this done before a kick in the can another month.
KENNEDY: "Wel-- not going to happen, chuck. Here is my objective and what happened last week -- there is nothing we can do about that. It was not -- it was not capital hill's finest hour. I meant it when I said that -- it seems that the Jerry springer show was brought to capitol Hill. It wasn't any of our finest hours. But what is done is done. Now we have to keep the government open. We don't have a budget. That is an embarrassing fact but it is a fak. And as I said, everybody else in America has a budget except the United States government. I would like to do a budget by Friday. I don't know if that is possible. They are going to send over a C.R. From the house. The things I like about it and don't like about it. I don't know why in the C.R. We are cutting taxes for -- by $14 billion for the health insurance companies. We just cut their taxes tlx is a little thing called the deficit we have to be mindful of that."
