Speaker 1: Hey, this is Jason chaff It's filling in for Sean
Speaker 1: and truly appreciate it. You know, there's there's a lot
Speaker 1: going on in the world. There's always somebody doing something stupid. Somewhere.
Speaker 1: There's always some crazy nut out there trying to to
Speaker 1: blow themselves up or blow other people up, use use
Speaker 1: some incnidary, the incendiary device, or do something stupid. I mean,
Speaker 1: the world is just a dangerous place, you know. I
Speaker 1: was watching the some of the the the uh, the
Speaker 1: eulogies and the the funeral there for Senator Lindsey Graham,
Speaker 1: you know, a sad moment, hard moment. And later on
Speaker 1: in this hour we're going to play some of the
Speaker 1: comments that Sean Hannity made having the honor of being
Speaker 1: able to to eulogize Senator Graham. But when I was
Speaker 1: looking at that, I saw the President of the United States.
Speaker 1: I saw the Benjamin Nett and yah who I saw Zelensky.
Speaker 1: I saw the cabinet, you know, people like John the
Speaker 1: CIA director. They're all gathered there together, and I thought,
Speaker 1: oh my goodness, this is terrace. You know, best case scenario.
Speaker 1: They're all together in one room, in one place, and
Speaker 1: the logistics and the difficult nature of being able to
Speaker 1: protect all those people, particularly when they're gathered together, is
Speaker 1: a very difficult thing. But at any moment, something crazy
Speaker 1: could happen, and there are people who creatively think through
Speaker 1: how to damage and take down the United States of
Speaker 1: America and the free world. We stand for freedom, we
Speaker 1: stand for liberty, we stand for justice, we stand for
Speaker 1: the things that a lot of people don't like. They
Speaker 1: don't like the United States of America. They want to
Speaker 1: take us down, and they want to do it with
Speaker 1: it violently and inject terrorism into our culture. And consequently,
Speaker 1: you have to have some really good people who spend
Speaker 1: all day every day thinking, doing, thinking these things through
Speaker 1: in order to protect them. So as I look at
Speaker 1: Homeland Security, the formation after nine to eleven, a number
Speaker 1: of different departments and agencies were constituted together to form
Speaker 1: this new Homeland Security, and I think it's justifiable, particularly,
Speaker 1: you know, given that we're going to come up hard
Speaker 1: to believe the twenty fifth anniversary of nine to eleven
Speaker 1: is this September eleventh. In doing so, we got to
Speaker 1: think things through. Now through my time in Congress as
Speaker 1: the former chairman of the Oversight Committee, I spent a
Speaker 1: lot of time, unfortunately, having to look at the United
Speaker 1: States Secret Service. What became evident is that through those years, nobody,
Speaker 1: but nobody had been paying attention to the Secret Service,
Speaker 1: because you know, their secret not supposed to look at them.
Speaker 1: But without oversight, without the congo, the Congress, asking probing
Speaker 1: some difficult questions, a lot of the agency was going sideways.
Speaker 1: And our next guest has really done an amazing job
Speaker 1: investigating and revealing things about the United States Secret Service.
Speaker 1: And so I want to bring in Susan Crabtree. Susan
Speaker 1: is a national correspondent for Real Clear Politics. She's also
Speaker 1: the author of Fool's Gold, and she's also somebody that
Speaker 1: I had interacted with through the years on issues related
Speaker 1: to the Secret Service. Now, some people would say, oh, well,
Speaker 1: you shouldn't expose anything, you shouldn't ask hard questions, you
Speaker 1: shouldn't do this in public. But you know what, the
Speaker 1: United States is different. We are self critical. We do
Speaker 1: go and look at these things. That's what makes us
Speaker 1: the United States of America. And when there's a problem,
Speaker 1: we want to fix it. It's not that we want
Speaker 1: to expose it to embarrass people. We want to actually
Speaker 1: fix it, because I would venture to say, Susan that
Speaker 1: the single most important job of the Department of Homeland
Speaker 1: Security is to protect the President of the United States.
Speaker 1: So thank you for joining us on Chan Hannity. That's
Speaker 1: a long interes Susan, But you've done some great work
Speaker 1: on this, and you have a new piece out, and
Speaker 1: you've discovered some other nefarious things happening in the Secret Service.
Speaker 1: So let's talk about that.
Speaker 2: Yes, well, thanks so much Jason for having me on.
Speaker 2: I covered all of your hearings, all of your hard
Speaker 2: work to ferret out the problems of the Secret Service
Speaker 2: after that big Columbia prostitution scandal. Obviously there was a
Speaker 2: cultural problem in the Secret Service, and unfortunately we had
Speaker 2: to revisit this after the two assassination attempts to figure
Speaker 2: out what went wrong so that we couldn't so that
Speaker 2: didn't happen again in the future. And so unfortunately, I
Speaker 2: don't think the cultural rod at the Secret Service has
Speaker 2: been fully reformed. Have I was very happy, and I
Speaker 2: do want to stress that all of these the majority
Speaker 2: of the Secret Service agents and officers that I know
Speaker 2: and have come to know over a decade more than
Speaker 2: a decade of reporting are the best of humanity. These
Speaker 2: are among us we put themselves that lies on the
Speaker 2: line because people say, oh, you're taking potshots, and I
Speaker 2: know every agency is corrupt. You know, people outside of
Speaker 2: Washington just say, oh, all of Washington is corrupt. Well,
Speaker 2: that's not necessarily the case. We will take a look
Speaker 2: at these issues because there are serious morale issues in
Speaker 2: the Secret Service that have been ongoing that you've done
Speaker 2: a lot of work about, and we want to know,
Speaker 2: get to the heart of it so that we can
Speaker 2: reform the agencies and so that were better equipped to
Speaker 2: protect the President and our continuity of government. So that
Speaker 2: being said, along wind up too. There are problems with
Speaker 2: the Secret Service, especially this year alone. In the last
Speaker 2: eight months, there have been at least six agents or
Speaker 2: officers that have been arrested or run a foul of
Speaker 2: the law that are Secret Service agents, and they have
Speaker 2: been placed on administrative leave. The latest, unfortunately, I did
Speaker 2: report in June about this particular agent, Marquez Pinder. He
Speaker 2: was arrested in charge Sunday with five felony counts and
Speaker 2: then a near fatal fraternity hazing incident that occurred this spring.
Speaker 2: I've been reporting on this, trying to get information. It
Speaker 2: all came to a head yesterday. New York Times broke
Speaker 2: the story on Sunday night. I knew about it. I
Speaker 2: didn't break the story. I had already broken a story
Speaker 2: I've reported on nder soon as possible. But this is
Speaker 2: the problem there have been. This is one of five
Speaker 2: to six different agents than the officers that have been arrested,
Speaker 2: or one of them had his home rated by the
Speaker 2: FBI because of a risk tax investigation, of wide ranging investigation,
Speaker 2: whether his nonprofit that he's doing for the moonlighting deal
Speaker 2: is on the up and up with the federal charity laws,
Speaker 2: whether he's whether this agent is actually taking Ticket Service
Speaker 2: laptops that he got from the agency and giving them
Speaker 2: to you young people that need them, or whether he's
Speaker 2: holding on to them. I don't know. There's a lot
Speaker 2: to this. There's Like I said, it's sad that I
Speaker 2: keep reporting this. I would like to report about reforms
Speaker 2: and Secret Service. Let me tell you, and I've asked
Speaker 2: them for interviews. I've asked them for positive stories. Tell
Speaker 2: me about your recruiting, you know, any kind of recruiting
Speaker 2: efforts that you've made so positive, But they don't get
Speaker 2: back to me on those requests.
Speaker 1: So after a two year investigation, my committee ten years
Speaker 1: ago did a four hundred and fifty page report and
Speaker 1: came up with a lot of findings and a lot
Speaker 1: of very difficult things, and some of them still what
Speaker 1: bothers me is ten years later, I still haven't solved them.
Speaker 1: So we were looking at over one hundred and ten
Speaker 1: I believe it was plus security incidents involving the Secret Service,
Speaker 1: everything from fence jumpers and guys running with crocs right
Speaker 1: into the White House, to shots fired at the White House,
Speaker 1: shots fired at Joe Biden's vice presidential residents in Delaware
Speaker 1: where they never did catch anybody. They didn't even have
Speaker 1: cameras at the time, to things that were happening with
Speaker 1: George W. Bush's compound down in Crawford. I mean, it
Speaker 1: just went on and on and on. Man with a
Speaker 1: gun next to President Obama in an elevator. I mean,
Speaker 1: we had a lot to look at and then made recommendations.
Speaker 1: I don't think anything's changed, and that's what scares me.
Speaker 1: It scares me that we've become very lucky. We've had
Speaker 1: a couple of different assassination attempts on President Trump's life.
Speaker 1: You know, you know, it's amazing to me, Susan, I
Speaker 1: still can't get over this, and tell me if I'm
Speaker 1: overstating it. But the President of the United States, Donald Trump,
Speaker 1: in a campaign in Pennsylvania was shot. Not a single
Speaker 1: person was dismissed fired. They all somewhat onlike administrative leave temporarily,
Speaker 1: but they went back and worked at the Secret Service.
Speaker 1: And one of them is now the director of the
Speaker 1: Secret Service. So a lot of them got promotions. The
Speaker 1: president was shot and people got promoted. It's unbelievable to me.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there were two supervisors. There was an experienced DASI
Speaker 2: known for partying, who was in charge of the whole
Speaker 2: Secret Service security plan and execution for that day. Before
Speaker 2: she had help, she had supervisors. The two supervisors were
Speaker 2: promoted by Sean Karen, who you know, the buck stops
Speaker 2: at the detail leader. He was a detail leader for
Speaker 2: Trump's campaign. There's a lot of blame to go around
Speaker 2: for that day, including on a campaign I reported did
Speaker 2: the campaign tried to remove didn't like the optics of
Speaker 2: the farm equipment, so they wanted those removed. But hey,
Speaker 2: nobody stood up to them and said, no, they were
Speaker 2: protecting the line of sight. They were obstructing the line
Speaker 2: of site that Thomas Crooks used from the adr ability
Speaker 2: to shoot and almost nearly kill President Trump and then
Speaker 2: candidate Trump, former President Trump. Nothing has changed, well, I
Speaker 2: don't know. They don't talk about the changes that they've
Speaker 2: made very much. They are facing an inordinate amount of threats.
Speaker 2: That's what we heard from shankhar And before the White
Speaker 2: House Correspondents Dinner than one that was resquitted last Friday.
Speaker 2: He said that it's gone up exponentially the level of threats.
Speaker 2: So the reforms should have been going up exponentially as well.
Speaker 2: And we've had Secret Service agents officer and one at
Speaker 2: the ud office uniformed division officers like a police. As
Speaker 2: you know, he was found in a hallway by the
Speaker 2: police masturbating in the act of masturbating recently after the
Speaker 2: President Trump, it was Evans or Trump went down there
Speaker 2: to Miami. He was out of the Miamis office.
Speaker 1: There was a and this is like in a hotel hallway.
Speaker 1: This is like, I mean, this is like there's video
Speaker 1: cameras and the guy is I mean, let's not mention
Speaker 1: what he was doing, but come on, I mean, and
Speaker 1: this is a guy with a gun protecting the president
Speaker 1: vice president of the United States of America.
Speaker 2: Yes, it's really that one was, I mean obviously shocking.
Speaker 2: There's another recent incidents so that are equally shocking. In March,
Speaker 2: there was a Secret Service Uniform Division officer, Kristin Hale.
Speaker 2: He was arrested and faces charged charges for sending sexually
Speaker 2: explicit messages, images and video to a girl, a minor.
Speaker 3: And it's.
Speaker 2: There was a Secret Service agent that I reported last
Speaker 2: week who was actually on a PPD, but then he
Speaker 2: became polygrapher who was supposed to be in charge of
Speaker 2: vetting other Secret Service agents. He got a DWI the
Speaker 2: morning of July fifth, so maybe it was for the
Speaker 2: July related when he was driving impaired. Then he assaulted
Speaker 2: a law enforcement officer and he was accused of sexual
Speaker 2: battery in Virginia. Since Barne, the sexually battery was dismissed.
Speaker 2: But yeah, there is a law enforcement officer resisting her
Speaker 2: arrest and assaulting another law enforcement officer when he was
Speaker 2: charged with a DWI when he was on his ATV
Speaker 2: and at an accident. The mugshot is horrible, but this
Speaker 2: is a problem. I've said it so many times and
Speaker 2: it just doesn't seem like Congress cares, or maybe they're
Speaker 2: working behind the scenes. I do have some indication that
Speaker 2: they're working behind the scene. But what needs to happen
Speaker 2: is some transparency to hold the Secret Service accountable or
Speaker 2: make them answer the questions, how is your recruiting going?
Speaker 2: Please let me know that you're doing better. But what
Speaker 2: I'm hearing is that the standards are completely lowered. There's
Speaker 2: no mental health examination and there hasn't been for years
Speaker 2: that other police departments put in place to prevent any
Speaker 2: kind of insider threats or mental health issues from rising
Speaker 2: up within the Secret Service agents and officers while they're
Speaker 2: on the job, like we had the one at Joint
Speaker 2: Base Andrews that was the canary in the coal mine
Speaker 2: before the assassination attempt on Donald Trump at Butler. A
Speaker 2: couple months before that, I reported that there was this
Speaker 2: woman who was who had a mental breakdown at Joint
Speaker 2: Based Andrews who right before she was supposed to protect
Speaker 2: Kamala Harris on a trip with's assaulting her supervisor. They
Speaker 2: had to wrestle her down and get her gun away
Speaker 2: from her. I just think that there's a culture problem
Speaker 2: in secret Service that you exposed, and then it hasn't
Speaker 2: that cultural problem hasn't gone away. And there is an agent,
Speaker 2: Rashid Ellis that I've written about extensively. He has a
Speaker 2: lawsuit into the Secret Service. He's come forward and has
Speaker 2: said that DEI had everything to do with the assassination
Speaker 2: at Butler and the failures at Butler, and he is
Speaker 2: a African American and this is just not changing and
Speaker 2: they're punishing him.
Speaker 1: Well, here's here's the problem going forward. Here's the problem.
Speaker 1: You and I could go on for another hour and
Speaker 1: a half exposing this. It hasn't been fixed. It's not fixed.
Speaker 1: It is the single most important thing. Heaven forbid, something
Speaker 1: happen on either side of the stile. This is not
Speaker 1: a partisan issue, folks, This is bipartisan. They need to
Speaker 1: solve this. Congress has allocated the money, but the leadership
Speaker 1: is not in place to actually solve this. And until
Speaker 1: they do, there are lots of vulnerabilities in it. Heaven forbid,
Speaker 1: it does scare me. Susan Crabbe Crabtree, thank you so
Speaker 1: much for joining us on the Sean Hannity Show. We'll
Speaker 1: be right back and I'm Jason Chief. It's been filling
Speaker 1: in for Sean because he was honored to give the
Speaker 1: eulogy at Senator Graham's funeral, one of the few people
Speaker 1: with the President of the United States speaking, and we
Speaker 1: wanted to play that for you. So here's Sean Hannity
Speaker 1: giving tribute to his friend, Senator Lindsey Graham.
Speaker 4: I want to thank all of you for being here
Speaker 4: on behalf of Lindsey, Darlene and his family.
Speaker 5: I loved him so much.
Speaker 4: You know, many of you know that I speak for
Speaker 4: a living and President Trump often reminds me that I
Speaker 4: kind of never stopped talking, whether on air or off air.
Speaker 4: And while it is an honor to be standing in
Speaker 4: this place today, I simply wish that our dear friend
Speaker 4: Lindsey we're here with.
Speaker 5: Us, as all of you do.
Speaker 4: He would have been so proud, he would have been
Speaker 4: so honored as the President that you were here, as
Speaker 4: the Vice President that you were here.
Speaker 5: I see the Secretary of State is here. I see
Speaker 5: the entire cabinet is here.
Speaker 4: Thank you, all of you, Each and every one of
Speaker 4: your chiefest staff is here.
Speaker 5: Steve Whitkoff is here. I see everybody. We are here
Speaker 5: to say goodbye.
Speaker 4: As the President said, to a true original, there was
Speaker 4: nobody like Lindsey Graham. Nobody he loved being a US senator.
Speaker 4: He loved representing the great state of South Carolina. He
Speaker 4: worked harder, He traveled more than any senator I ever knew.
Speaker 4: I couldn't believe his travel schedule. And he was just
Speaker 4: a force of nature in a good way for good reasons.
Speaker 4: Nobody visited more war zones. Nobody met with more active
Speaker 4: duty troops. Nobody loved, with the exception perhaps of our President,
Speaker 4: our military more. And that included the decades of service
Speaker 4: that he served himself, both an.
Speaker 5: Active duty and in the reserves, to our nation's warriors.
Speaker 5: I have a message to you today. He was so
Speaker 5: so grateful to all of you for putting your lives
Speaker 5: on the line for your country.
Speaker 4: Nobody admired you more. Now, I want to say, for
Speaker 4: the record, Lindsay and I did not always agree, not
Speaker 4: on everything, but we could disagree and we could remain friends,
Speaker 4: and we've remained friends for decades. We had similar backgrounds.
Speaker 4: This may shock all of you. We both in different ways.
Speaker 4: We both grew up in a bar. You know, I
Speaker 4: started working at twelve Washington dishes till two three in
Speaker 4: the morning, and I was a cook at thirteen. At seventeen,
Speaker 4: I was tending bar Lindsay, as the President mentioned, and
Speaker 4: a bartender at seventeen. And his father, Darlene you know,
Speaker 4: as you know, he ran a bar, he ran a
Speaker 4: liquor store, he ran a pool room. And it's amazing
Speaker 4: what life lessons you can learn in that environment. By
Speaker 4: the way, not all of them are really good lessons.
Speaker 4: I can tell you that we did laugh about it constantly.
Speaker 4: We shared stories always, and yes I shouldn't admit this.
Speaker 4: In the National Cathedral, we could still curse like we
Speaker 4: were behind the bar.
Speaker 5: Lindsey does hold a couple of records that I.
Speaker 4: Don't think will ever be broken on the Fox News channel.
Speaker 4: And number one was how freely he would use certain
Speaker 4: words on my show, in particular.
Speaker 5: Now in this beautiful cathedral. I will not repeat them.
Speaker 4: But his first record was on how many different occasions
Speaker 4: those words were complying out of his mouth.
Speaker 5: That was record one.
Speaker 4: Record number two, how many times could he say it
Speaker 4: a single appearance. I did show a montage on my
Speaker 4: show about this, and you know, I will selfishly admit
Speaker 4: that when a US senator other certain words on national TV,
Speaker 4: it is really mister President will appreciate this. It is
Speaker 4: great for ratings, and Senator Graham was great for ratings
Speaker 4: because people listened to him.
Speaker 5: He threw you in. He had that passion to draw
Speaker 5: you in.
Speaker 4: So for that, I was very grateful. Lindsay also was
Speaker 4: well known on my TV show. He was a shameless
Speaker 4: self promoter. I don't think any one person ever said
Speaker 4: Lindsey Graham dot com more than Lindsey Graham. And then
Speaker 4: he called me hours later and tell me how much
Speaker 4: money he raised on my show that night, and over
Speaker 4: and over. If he were here today, I'm sure he
Speaker 4: would not miss a chance to say Darlenegraham dot com.
Speaker 5: I'll say it for him.
Speaker 4: For the record, it was always a bit risky to
Speaker 4: have Lindsay on your TV show. My Fox colleagues, they
Speaker 4: would understand this, and I could have easily been fired
Speaker 4: for any of these occasions. And I'm extremely grateful to
Speaker 4: my boss, Malcola Murdoch. He is with us today and
Speaker 4: his father, Rupert, the founder of the Fox News Channel.
Speaker 5: And they never held me accountable.
Speaker 4: Darlene for what your brother said and I'm about to
Speaker 4: finish my thirtieth year of Fox in part because I
Speaker 4: got to interview wonderful leaders like your brother, Lindsay. I
Speaker 4: want everybody to know I was so proud to be
Speaker 4: a senator. He was so proud to serve the people
Speaker 4: of South Carolina for the people of that great state.
Speaker 4: I want you to know, with no ambiguity, that you
Speaker 4: gave Lindsay Graham the honor of a lifetime thank you.
Speaker 4: At his core, Lindsay was a man driven by principal God, family, country.
Speaker 5: He was a friend's friend. He was a great patriot.
Speaker 4: He fought with every ounce of strength he had in
Speaker 4: his body for the things that he deeply believed in.
Speaker 4: He's also, as my friend, one of the funniest people
Speaker 4: that you could ever know. We laughed NonStop. We laughed
Speaker 4: often about many of you in this room.
Speaker 3: With me.
Speaker 4: He never held back, and that was the basis of
Speaker 4: our deep friendship. I will miss him so much, mister President.
Speaker 4: He would be so honored, so honored that you were
Speaker 4: here today. He loved you as he loved his country.
Speaker 4: He loved the times you played golf. I heard about
Speaker 4: every single solitary hole. He loved the meals that you shared.
Speaker 4: He loved the late night conversations you had, and mister President,
Speaker 4: you gave him the greatest gift of his life, and
Speaker 4: that was a front row seat at the highest levels
Speaker 4: of history in the making. It meant the world to him.
Speaker 4: Thank you, sir for that. I see Prime Minister Natanyahu
Speaker 4: is here. Mister Prime Minister, you two have been a
Speaker 4: dear friend of mine for thirty years. It's an honor
Speaker 4: to have you and Lindsay would have been blown away
Speaker 4: that you took this long journey with your beautiful bride
Speaker 4: to be here today. He loved you, He loved the
Speaker 4: state of Israel.
Speaker 5: He loved the people of Israel.
Speaker 4: Under your leadership, Israel has been one of America's most
Speaker 4: consistent and loyal allies.
Speaker 3: He was never shy to say it to the day
Speaker 3: he passed. And just as.
Speaker 4: President Trump has been Israel's strongest friend in the history
Speaker 4: of the White House, you know the two partners aligned together.
Speaker 4: Lindsay was that friend to Israel. In the United States Senate.
Speaker 4: As long as I've known this man, Lindsay, he was
Speaker 4: often unfairly characterized.
Speaker 3: As a warmonger.
Speaker 4: I've heard that false criticism a lot, It's not true.
Speaker 3: The truth was the opposite.
Speaker 4: Lindsay desperately wanted and talked to the President about a
Speaker 4: lasting peace in the Middle East. He wanted every region,
Speaker 4: every country in the region, on that path to peace.
Speaker 4: That was Lindsay's dream. If people would only listen to
Speaker 4: what he had been saying. His greatest gift in life,
Speaker 4: from my perspective, was Lindsay had moral clarity. He understood
Speaker 4: right from wrong, good from evil, and he knew, as
Speaker 4: President Trump knows, as Israel knows, as I know, there
Speaker 4: can be no path to peace until evil is defeated. Evil,
Speaker 4: in this case embodied in a death cult, an ideology,
Speaker 4: the world's number one state sponsor of terror. Thanks to
Speaker 4: the partnership of the President, the Prime Minister, and many
Speaker 4: other allies. I pray their days are numbers, and I
Speaker 4: pray that Lindsey's dream of a lasting peace becomes real
Speaker 4: life soon. My dear friend, Senator Darlene Graham, you know
Speaker 4: I see that you're here with your beautiful husband, your family,
Speaker 4: all the people that love you, love Lindsay, and as
Speaker 4: you have said yourself, Lindsay was your brother, your father,
Speaker 4: and your mother, and you were only as the President
Speaker 4: pointed out, You're only thirteen years old when your parents
Speaker 4: passed away, and he was only twenty one years old,
Speaker 4: and he left school, and he took over the family business,
Speaker 4: and he made it his business to raise his little sister.
Speaker 4: Politics was politics, Lindsay, and I a lot of politics.
Speaker 4: But you, Darlene, you were his life. Your family was
Speaker 4: his life. You were his God given purpose. He loved
Speaker 4: you with all of his heart, and he.
Speaker 5: Told me often.
Speaker 3: Now we all know that he was a true believer.
Speaker 4: We know that he is in paradise today, and we
Speaker 4: know that he is so proud of you. We all
Speaker 4: know in this room today, this beautiful cathedral, that these
Speaker 4: past two weeks have been the hardest two weeks of
Speaker 4: your life. And most people could not imagine losing the
Speaker 4: brother that raised them.
Speaker 3: And then almost immediately.
Speaker 4: Almost immediately, you got a call from the president of
Speaker 4: our country. You got a call from the governor of
Speaker 4: your state. They asked you if you would be willing
Speaker 4: to step up and finish the work of the brother
Speaker 4: that we honor here today, Your brother, Lindsay, you barely
Speaker 4: had time to warn if any You told me that
Speaker 4: you asked yourself the one question that mattered.
Speaker 3: What would Lindsay want me to do? That was the
Speaker 3: one question.
Speaker 4: You put your personal tragedy aside for the state that
Speaker 4: you love and for the country that you love. Within
Speaker 4: two days you were sworn in as the first female
Speaker 4: senator from the great state of South Carolina. And by
Speaker 4: the weekend you were in shorts and a T shirt
Speaker 4: on your hands and knees with your daughter painting her
Speaker 4: parking space at her school. That was the week that
Speaker 4: your brother passed away. Now, to me, that tells us
Speaker 4: everything we need to know about you. Your brother loved
Speaker 4: you with all his heart. I would be negligent if
Speaker 4: I did not acknowledge Lindsay's staff. There's too many to mention.
Speaker 4: The heart work that went into to this service today
Speaker 4: and the service that will be in Columbia tomorrow is extraordinary.
Speaker 4: Center staff. I know how hard you all work, Richard Perry,
Speaker 4: Van Cato, Tara, I know how hard you work, Kevin Taylor.
Speaker 4: There are so many others, too many to name. The
Speaker 4: fact that the vast majority of you are staying on
Speaker 4: to work for Darlene would have made him grateful beyond words,
Speaker 4: and on his behalf. I want to say thank you
Speaker 4: to all of you.
Speaker 5: Thank you.
Speaker 4: My Christian faith is the most important thing to me
Speaker 4: in my life. I like lindsay, God, family, country, and
Speaker 4: I believe that with all my heart, we will see
Speaker 4: him again. To my dear friend, to our feelers warrior.
Speaker 4: I will miss our late night calls. I will miss
Speaker 4: our strategy strategizing together. I will miss our dinners. I
Speaker 4: will miss our conversations about the president and the country
Speaker 4: we both loved.
Speaker 3: I miss the gossip.
Speaker 4: I'll be honest, I'll miss talking about how to defeat
Speaker 4: evil in our time and how to find a path to.
Speaker 3: Peace so that peace may one day reign around the world.
Speaker 4: Many people ask me if I know at the end
Speaker 4: of my television show that I'm quoting Scripture when I
Speaker 4: say the words let not your heart be troubled.
Speaker 3: Well I am, he answers, Yes, John fourteen, let not.
