House Speaker Nancy Pelosi claims she was 'set up' after video surfaces of her maskless visit to a San Francisco salon; reaction from Louisiana Sen. John Kennedy, Republican member of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
This is an unofficial transcript meant for reference. Accuracy is not guaranteed.
Karl thats, why you have on
the best political line in
America?
If you like hypocrisy, you will
love this next story.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi called for
a national mask mandate,
applauded lockdown measures in
California, including the forced
closure of countless small
businesses.
Last night Pelosi was caught on
tape inside a San Francisco hair
salon, getting her hair done and
about that mask mandate.
Her mask was not on either.
Hair salons in San Francisco
have been closed since March,
for you for me and for
everyone else, not named Nancy Pelosi,
but today, instead of apologizing
Nancy Pelosi blasted the salon
for setting her up,
apparently someone forced her to
make an appointment and get her
hair washed and dried
its all a big set up.
I take responsibility for
trusting the word of the
neighborhood salon I have been
to over the years many times
and that when they said we were
able to accommodate people one
person at a time and we can set
up that time. I trusted that,
as it turns out, it was a set
up,
so I take responsibility for
falling for a set up.
I think this salon owes me an
apology
in a tweet president. Trump had a few choice: words for the
had a few choice- words for the
house. Speaker writing.
We will almost certainly take
back the house and send Nancy
Packing
joining us. Now is Louisiana,
Senator John Kennedy.
I want to ask you about how the
residents of the Louisiana are
doing in the aftermath of
Hurricane Laura
thanks for that.
This is probably the worst
hurricane damage I have ever
seen, and I have seen a lot of
hurricane damage.
This storm practically knocked
Louisiana into Texas.
I was out all day yesterday
trying to help my people
I got in late last night and I
saw the story about Speaker
Pelosi violating the coronavirus
rules
that she has advocated for and
the rest of us mere mortals have
to abide by in order to get her
hair done.
I thought to myself isnt this
special.
Despite the fact its against
the law. Speaker Pelosi is
getting her hair washed and
probably getting a neck massage
and my people dont even have
water
week.
The irony is extraordinary,
but I am not sure will be
glad to make sure why I make
this statement. I am not sure
she can help herself
well. I want you to explain
that one
thats too good.
Yes, why could she not help
herself?
Well, Speaker Pelosi is part
of what I call the managerial
elite.
They can strut sitting down.
You know who I am talking about:
the entrenched politicians in
Washington,
the bureaucrats, the media and
the academics, the corporate
phonies.
They live in the condos, with the
high ceilings and the important
art on the wall.
I call them the shade truffles
crowd.
They think they are smarter and
more virtuous than the middle
class, ordinary Americans.
They are not, of course,
but here is the managerial
elites message of which Speaker
Pelosi is part to the ordinary
Americans.
You are a bunch of morons
boy. The way you are always
a bunch of racists,
so just shut up,
do what you are told and
periodically we the elite, will
tell you what values and
opinions you have to adopt
without debate, because he are
experts and intellectuals.
Most people think now that
Washington, D, dot c is the place
where good ideas go to die.
I will add one more observation,
just my opinion,
the managerial elite of which
the speaker is apart.
They think they are the smartest
people in the room
if they are the smartest people
in the room, its the wrong
room,
because if they ever get in
charge, you know this, they will
put America in the ditch.
They will beat the crap out of
America and the american people
dont deserve that
Senator one reason I think
you are popular not only in
Louisiana but also in South
Carolina is authent tisity
in that video. I see hypocrisy
the same with the mayor of
Chicago telling people they can
protest, but not in my
neighborhood and elected
officials who say you cant eat
indoor, but I am going to.
Is there a political price to be
paid for hypocrisy?
Well, you make a good point.
I dont want to paint with too
broad of a brush.
All Democrats are not like this,
but too many Democrats. Today
they dont, like ordinary
Americans, unless they are part
of a specific minority group
that they deem worthy
and for most ordinary Americans,
the members of the managerial
elite, of which Speaker Pelosi is
a part, and I think
Vice President Biden is too.
They just think that we are all
a bunch of deplorables if we are
not part of a specific group
that they deem worthy.
They dont respect the opinions
of ordinary Americans and they
dont like us very much.
I dont think Americans want to
be governed by people who look
down on them.
I know I dont
senator you had
a distinguished career in the
law before you joined the United
States Senate.
What did you think of her? I was
set up defense.
What is it so hard for people in
politics to say I am wrong.
Why do you have to say I was set
up?
Well, the speaker makes my
point she thinks most Americans are.
She thinks most Americans are
morons and will believe that
with ordinary Americans lie to
Congress, you can go to jail
when members of Congress lie to
the american people, its called
just politics.
Thats what the speaker has
done,
she knows thats, not accurate.
She just got caught but expects
the american people to believe
that excuse.
Well, my experience has been
the american people will forgive
you for almost anything except
lying.
What can people that love your
state but dont live there? Do to
help you? In the coming days and weeks
you can go to my website
Kennedy, DOT Senate DOT, Gov.
There are a number of ways to
help sending food sending
prayers and contributions.
We will get through this
Louisiana and America are tough.
As a boot,
we will show the american people
what its like to be an
American.
We understand Louisiana, but
getting knocked down is not
failure.
Failure is not getting up.
We will get back up.
