Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) is a national treasure. He dissects arguments with his razor-sharp wit, but his humor doesn’t hide his intelligence nor the fact that he’s often dead right about issues.
Here are a few of his most recent greatest hits:

He appeared on "Fox News Sunday" and tore into the president over his weakness toward Iran, which many argue emboldened the Islamic regime to attack Israel Saturday. Speaking with host Shannon Bream about a possible Israel aid bill, the senator turned the subject over to Biden's incompetence:
The big issue will be Israel because it is clear that President Biden is being influenced by the Hamas wing of the Democratic Party...
In the past 60 days, we have seen President Biden go wobbly in his support of Israel. With respect, go to Amazon and buy a spine online. Peace through weakness never works, not with these hard, armed men...
The American people may be poor under Biden, but they're not stupid. We need to stand with Israel.
Watch (Kennedy's comments begin at the 30-second mark):

The senator went on to compare Iran to a pimp hustling prostitutes:
"Israel's not at war with Hamas or Hezbollah or Yemen," the senator said. "Those are all surrogates for Iran, they're prostitutes. The pimp is Iran. Israel is at war with Iran. Iran hates Americans. Iran hates Jews. Iran wants to kill Americans and Jews. And if we turn the other cheek to them, we're going to get it in the neck."
He also pointed out that Biden has consistently undermined Israel even as he declares his "ironclad support":
And today the White House has already leaked to the press early this morning that they're not going to participate in an Israeli response to what Iran just did. Let, let me say it again. More sheep is not going to solve the wolf problem. My advice to the President today, for what it's worth.
Mr. President, don't.
With that last word, he’s expertly trolling Biden’s infamous “don’t” foreign policy, whereby the president thinks he can avoid major conflicts simply by telling hostile nations not to take violent action. It obviously hasn’t worked very well.
See:
Kennedy will not only make you laugh, but he does not suffer fools lightly and is perfectly willing to savagely expose the failures of his opponents. He's on target with this analysis—the president seems completely unwilling or unable to take the threat of Iran seriously, and by constantly coddling them he has invited this disaster.
