KENNEDY: MIDTERMS ARE NEXT
TUESDAY, TUESDAY, TUESDAY.
SOME VETERANS ARE BRINGING
FIGHT TO WASHINGTON, 2022
MID TERMS, 1 IN 5
CANDIDATES, RUNNING FOR
SENATE HOUSE OR GOVERNOR
HAVE MILITARY EXPER YECK,
EXPERIENCE.
VETS IN CONGRESS HAVE
DECLINED SINCE 70S THIS YEAR
OVER 200 MEN AND WOMEN
LOOKING TO HEAD TO
WASHINGTON.
AFTER BIDEN’S DISASTOUS
AFGHANISTAN WITHDRAWAL AND
FUTURE OF UKRAINE IN
BALANCE, IS IT TIME FOR
CONGRESS TO CAKE BACK THEIR
WAR POWERS, WILL A NEW
GENERATION OF VETERANS BE
THOSE WHO HELP?
JOINING ME NOW RETIRED NAVY
SEAL, REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE
FOR WISCONSIN THIRD
DISTRICT, DERRICK VAN ORDEN.
SO YOU HAVE A LITTLE OVER A
WEEK TO GO, TV O, HOW DO YOU
FEEL ABOUT YOUR RACE AND
"NEW YORK TIMES" DESCRIBING
YOU KNOW THIS TERRIFYING FAR
RIGHT GROUP OF VETERANS WHO
HAPPEN TO BE
ANTIINTERVENTIONISTS, YOU
FEELS GOOD ABOUT THAT.
>> AS FAR AS RACE, WE’RE
DOING MUCH BETTER THAN THE
COMPETITION.
WE’LL PUT IT THAT WAY, EVERY
POLL, WE ARE WINNING.
REASON IS WE’RE TALKING
ABOUT THINGS THAT THE PEOPLE
IN DISTRICT WANT TO TALK
ABOUT THAT IS GAS, GROCERIES
AND GRAND KIDS.
PEOPLE CANNOT AFFORD FIRST
TWO, THEY ARE CONCERNED
ABOUT FUTURE OF THEIR
GRANDCHILDREN.
THAT PERTAINS TO THIS
SUBJECT.
THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION
DISASTROUS WITHDRAWAL FROM
AFGHANISTAN, AND THAT SET A
PRECEDENCE OF INTERNATIONAL
WEAKNESS ON A STRATEGIC
STAGE.
IT HAS SHOWN THE WORLD THAT
THEY CAN DO WHAT THEY WILL
WITH THE UNITED STATES OF
AMERICA.
PRESIDENT BIDEN FELT SO
STRONGLY ABOUT GETTING OUT
OF AFGHANISTAN HE ABANDONED
THOUSANDS OF AMERICANS OF
CITIZENS AND ALLIES TO FATE
OF TALIBAN, THEN IMMEDIATELY
TURNED AROUND AND GOT US
INVOLVED IN ANOTHER
CONFLICT.
THESE WE MUST STOP.
KENNEDY: HIGHWAY HOW DO YOU
FEEL ABOUT FURTHER FUNDING
UKRAINE, WHEN THEY ARE
FACING WHAT COULD BE A DIRE
RECESSION?
>> I THINK IT IS VERY
IMPORTANT THAT WE DO NOT
ALLOW UNASH UNABASHED
INTERNATIONAL AGGRESSION TO
TAKE PLACE WE HAVE TO
UNDERSTAND THERE IS
ACCOUNTABILITY FOR MONEY
WE’RE SENDING, WE’RE HURTING
NOW, ME AND MY TEAM PUT OVER
180 THOUSAND MILES ON OUR
VEHICLES, WE SPEAK TO
THOUSANDS OF WISCONSINITES
EVERY WEEK, THEY TELL ME THE
SAME THING, THEY CANNOT FILL
UP THEIR GAS TANK AND
GROCERY CART ON THE SAME
DAY.
IF WE GOING TO -- WE SHOULD
HELP PREVENT.
WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THERE
IS ACCOUNTABILITY FOR THAT,
NO ONE CAN CALL US DUCKS,
THE GROUP OF PEOPLE WE’RE
COMBAT VETERANS, NO ONE CAN
SAY WE’RE FEARFUL OF THIS
TYRANNY THAT TAKES PLACE, WE
HAVE LOOKED THE ELEPHANT IN
THE EYE, WE HAVE COME OUT ON
TOP OF IT.
AND THESE POLITICIANS HAVE
NOT.
THEY SIMPLY HAVE GOTTEN US
INVOLVED IN THESE CONFLICTS,
THE ENDLESS WARS WITHOUT AN
INSTINCT IN MIND THAT SUN
THAT -- UNACCEPTABLE.
KENNEDY: WHAT IS THAT MAKES
IT INTERESTING.
YOU ARE NOT A BUNCH OF GOSH
DARN LONG HAIR GREASY DIRTY
ANTI-VIETNAM HIPPIES, YOU
HAVE SERVED AND NUMBER OF
COUNTRIES YOU SERVED AS NAVY
SEAL SENIOR CHIEF IS
STAGGERING, THE HORN OF
AFRICA, IRAQ, AFGHANISTAN, I
BELIEVE BOSNIA.
YOU HAVE SEEN CONFLICTS ALL
OVER THE WORLD, YOU HAVE
ALSO SEEN POLICY IMPLEMENTED
VERY BADLY, AND THE YOU KNOW
PEOPLE IN POWER, IN THE U.S.
GOVERNMENT, SACRIFICE LIVES
OF AMERICAN MEN AND WOMEN IN
UNIFORM FOR HORRIBLE CAUSES
AND NO END GAME.
I ACTUALLY APPRECIATE WHERE
YOU ALL ARE COMING FROM, IF
YOU COMBINE THAT WITH A
MESSAGE OF PRO CAPITALISM
THAT IS ONLY THING THAT
COULD SAFE THESE UNITE THE
STATES.
>> YOU ARE RIGHT.
I WANT TO BE CLEAR.
WITH EVERYONE, WE DON’T WANT
TO GET INVOLVED IN THESE
CONFLICTS.
THE CONGRESS IS ONLY BODY
THAT CAN DECLARE WAR, WE
NEED TO GET BACK TO THAT,
AND MAKE SURE THAT ANYONE
LISTENING OR WATCHING
UNDERSTANDS THAT, IF YOU
ATTACK THE UNITED STATES OF
AMERICA, OR AMERICAN
CITIZENS OVERSEAS, SOMEONE
ELSE WILL RAISE YOUR
CHILDREN.
WE NEED TO GET BACK TO THE
POINT WHERE WE’RE RESPECTED,
BECAUSE OF OUR STRENGTH.
AROUND THE WORLD, WHEN
AMERICAN IS WEAK, THE WORLD
IS A LESS SAFE PLACE.
KENNEDY: WHEN AMERICA IS RUN
BY INCOMPETENT PEOPLE LIKE
JOE BIDEN AND LLOYD AUSTIN
AND ANTHONY BLINKEN THEY MAKE THE WORLD DANGEROUS FOR
MAKE THE WORLD DANGEROUS FOR
EVERYONE WITH THEIR INTENT
INEPTTUDE.
DERRICK THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
