In this Bonus episode of Verdict with Ted Cruz:

  1. Kennedy’s Humor and Persona (GRAB SEN KENNEDY'S NEW BOOK HERE!)
  • Kennedy is a "Southern trial lawyer with a sharp wit", often underestimated due to his accent and folksy demeanor.
  • He’s known for devastating cross-examinations of judicial nominees, both Democrat and Republican.
  • His humor is often biting and irreverent, with jokes about colleagues like Chuck Schumer, Mitch McConnell, and even Ted Cruz.

2. Behind-the-Scenes Senate Culture

  • Kennedy compares the Senate to junior high school, full of cliques, egos, and petty drama.
  • He shares stories of interactions with nominees who failed basic constitutional knowledge.
  • The book aims to demystify the Senate and show how disconnected Washington can be from everyday Americans.

3. Critique of Washington

  • Kennedy argues that Washington lacks common sense, and that change is only possible by removing entrenched interests (“pigs out of the creek”).
  • He emphasizes the importance of storytelling in politics, using humor to make serious points.

4. Praise and Promotion

  • Cruz and Ferguson praise Kennedy’s storytelling and comedic timing.
  • The book is a very giftable item, especially for those with conservative leanings or frustrations with Washington.
