Speaker 1: You're listening to Comedy Central from New York City, the
Speaker 1: only city in America. It's the show. Then he sent
Speaker 1: you news. It's The Daily Show with your host Cracket. Welcome, Welcome,
Speaker 1: How You're welcome, Welcome to the Welcome to the Daily Show.
Speaker 1: I'm your host for the week, Alt Frank, and I'm
Speaker 1: the I'm the ninth guests host so far and the
Speaker 1: first white male guests host. Feel free to applaud. We
Speaker 1: got a great show for you tonight. My friend Senator
Speaker 1: Lindsey Graham is joining me. Okay, yeah, So let's get
Speaker 1: into the headlines. You know, last week I was thinking
Speaker 1: there's not gonna be much news when I host, But
Speaker 1: oh boy, it's gonna be an exciting week. If former
Speaker 1: President Trump is correct, we are on the verge of
Speaker 1: something unprecedented in American history. A former US president arraigned
Speaker 1: before a judge facing criminal charges over the weekend. Trump
Speaker 1: claimed he will be arrested tomorrow, indicted by Manhattan District
Speaker 1: Attorney Alvin Bragg for charges related to hush money payments
Speaker 1: he made to porn star Stormy Daniels. The only person
Speaker 1: saying that Donald Trump will be arrested tomorrow is Donald Trump,
Speaker 1: and Trump's own spokesperson says that they have not been
Speaker 1: notified of any pending arrests. Over the weekend, the former
Speaker 1: president spent his time on his social media platform Truth Social,
Speaker 1: urging his supporters to protest and quote, take our nation back.
Speaker 1: That's right. According to Donald Trump himself, Donald Trump may
Speaker 1: actually be indicted this week. And I've got just one
Speaker 1: thing to say about that, finally, And you know what
Speaker 1: the best thing about it is is happening right here
Speaker 1: and the greatest city on the planet in New York City. Wow, Wow,
Speaker 1: this is easy. You guys are great, aren't you great?
Speaker 1: Aren't you a great audience? Are you the best? Oh? God, God,
Speaker 1: they loved me. And I gotta say, who would have
Speaker 1: ever thought that Donald Trump would be brought down by
Speaker 1: a porn star? All of us, right, it was pretty
Speaker 1: pretty predictable. But yeah, Donald Trump paid it Stormy Daniels
Speaker 1: to keep this story quiet, and here we are still
Speaker 1: talking about it seven years later. So that would be
Speaker 1: another failed Trump business venture. Now, if Donald Trump does
Speaker 1: get arrested, he'll have to go through the normal procedure,
Speaker 1: the perp walk, the fingerprinting, and of course the mug shot.
Speaker 1: I certainly hope that the booking officer is respectful and
Speaker 1: doesn't take advantage of the opportunity to play some you know,
Speaker 1: stupid joke. Mister president does this will be your mug shot.
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna snap the photo on the account of three.
Speaker 1: Okay les President One, here we go, one, two hit
Speaker 1: the womchane three. Now, as you saw, Trump asked his
Speaker 1: supporters to come out and protests, and they're already coming
Speaker 1: up with some fun ideas. Apparently, some Trump fans are
Speaker 1: talking about preventing Trump's arrests by forming a so called
Speaker 1: patriot moat around Mara Lago. And I have to ask,
Speaker 1: who are these people who can just leave whatever they're
Speaker 1: doing to go physically protect Donald Trump. Nurse you have
Speaker 1: to find someone else to finish the brain surgery. The
Speaker 1: President has summoned me to Mara Lago to be a
Speaker 1: human moat for Himmer. Of course, many Republican officials are
Speaker 1: also coming to Trump's defense. House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy,
Speaker 1: Lindsey Graham, who will be on the show in a
Speaker 1: little while, and even Mike Pence appeared on the Noose
Speaker 1: Sorry the News appear on the news to speak up
Speaker 1: for Trump. But one person who was conspicuously quiet all
Speaker 1: weekend is Trump's chief rival for the twenty twenty four election,
Speaker 1: Florida Governor Ronda Santis, and Trump World put a lot
Speaker 1: of pressure on him to rally to Trump's defense, So
Speaker 1: today he finally did, in just a bit of a
Speaker 1: backhanded way. I don't know what goes into paying hush
Speaker 1: money to a porn star to secure silence over some
Speaker 1: type of alleged affair. I just I can't speak to that.
Speaker 1: But what I can speak to is that if you
Speaker 1: have a prosecutor who is ignoring crimes happening every single
Speaker 1: day in his jurisdiction and he chooses to go back
Speaker 1: many many years ago to try to use something about
Speaker 1: porn star hush money payments, you know, that's an example
Speaker 1: of pursuing a political agenda. That I mentioned that this
Speaker 1: whole thing was about porn star hush money, because it's
Speaker 1: about porn star hush money. Just to be clear, porn
Speaker 1: star hush money. The Santas has it all. Let's move
Speaker 1: on to some international news, because Donald Trump isn't the
Speaker 1: only leader facing indictment this week. His best friend was
Speaker 1: also indicted. The extraordinary announcement today about Russia's leader of
Speaker 1: Vladimir Putin. The International Criminal Court at the Hague issued
Speaker 1: in a rest warrant for the Russian president for war crimes,
Speaker 1: implicating him in the abduction of thousands of ukraine and
Speaker 1: children during the war. Ukraine's president hailed the move as
Speaker 1: a historic decision, but the charges are largely symbolic. Over
Speaker 1: the weekend, Putin made an unannounced visit to a city
Speaker 1: that Russia seized from Ukraine last year after a brutal battle.
Speaker 1: In a surprise visit, President Putin drove himself through Russian
Speaker 1: occupied Mariopol's Saturday, inspecting newly built facilities. In what's believed
Speaker 1: to be his closest tour to the front lines of
Speaker 1: this war. He started that's right. Charged with war crimes,
Speaker 1: Putin thought it best to get out of town. Still,
Speaker 1: things cooled down, so he packed the bag and took
Speaker 1: off to marya Pole, one of the cities in Ukraine
Speaker 1: that his army destroyed. He walked around, saw the sites
Speaker 1: and shook a lot of hands. The hands were in
Speaker 1: a big pile on the edge of town. Putin then
Speaker 1: laid a wreath at the tomb of the unknown Russian
Speaker 1: soldier who had no idea why he was there. For
Speaker 1: more on the war, Let's go live to Ukraine with
Speaker 1: the roy Wood Junior. Everybody. Yeah, what's going on? Right right?
Speaker 1: Where are you at this moment? All? I'm near the
Speaker 1: front lines and it has been NonStop shelling, the conditions
Speaker 1: of brutal Last week the Russians destroyed the water treatment plan,
Speaker 1: so I had to ship my helmet and I still
Speaker 1: had to wear it the next day. They only gain
Speaker 1: you what helmet? Huh? You know, I've been thinking a lot,
Speaker 1: thinking a lot about this. I'm actually thinking of coming over.
Speaker 1: Hold on where? Hold on? Here? We all due respect, brother.
Speaker 1: Battlefield reporting is not for seventy one year old comedians.
Speaker 1: Leave that to me and Richard Ingle from NBC, who,
Speaker 1: by the way, was the one who told me to
Speaker 1: poop up my helmet. Found out later I could have
Speaker 1: just shipped on the ground. Eagle's a liar's war. You
Speaker 1: ship when you want well known about angling roy Maybe
Speaker 1: I'm not being clear. I don't want to report on
Speaker 1: the war. I want to fight. What the fighting is
Speaker 1: the worst part of war? It goes fighting. Then small
Speaker 1: talk with Sean Penn, why do you want to fight roy?
Speaker 1: I was born too late to fight in World War Two,
Speaker 1: and there was no way I was going to go
Speaker 1: to Vietnam and Iraq and Afghanistan. No, thank you. I've
Speaker 1: been looking for a good war my whole life. So
Speaker 1: Ukraine may just be the cause that I'm willing to
Speaker 1: risk it all for, even if it means a hero's death.
Speaker 1: Why are they cleaving for you in the studio, matt
Speaker 1: let people trying to get you killed. Look, let me
Speaker 1: give it to you straight now you need it straight.
Speaker 1: I know what you're gonna say, you're proud of me,
Speaker 1: but I should first make make out a will. You
Speaker 1: weren't already he a will? You're seventy one, Jesus. What
Speaker 1: I was gonna say is that we don't need thrill
Speaker 1: seekers over here. Oh you know what. I take offense
Speaker 1: with them. I'm not a thrill seeking I merely want
Speaker 1: the thrill of standing shoulder to shoulder with a brave
Speaker 1: fighting men and women of the Ukraine to repel the invaders. God,
Speaker 1: that would be thrilling. Thriller you you're gonna stay shoulder
Speaker 1: to shoulder to the menu with I don't take this
Speaker 1: the wrong way. But but physically you look like the
Speaker 1: kind of do that. If you was on the subway,
Speaker 1: a pregnant woman would give you her seat respectfully, respectfully.
Speaker 1: What's the right way to take that? Right? You don't
Speaker 1: know anything about me, I could withstand any Jesus, whoa
Speaker 1: that was? That was close? Yeah? Close to me? How
Speaker 1: does it a regular occurrence over here? This is a war? Okay? Okay?
Speaker 1: Maybe I could just do something like help evacuate the wounded.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, do you have any medical training? Well? I
Speaker 1: just had my fourth call on oscar By. You know,
Speaker 1: it's it's important to do that regularly. Jesus, see the thing.
Speaker 1: We're good, everybody good. Okay. Maybe maybe I have a
Speaker 1: point where I am. Perhaps I can help Ukraine bike,
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know. Doing a hard hitting episode
Speaker 1: about the war on my podcast? You what's wrong with
Speaker 1: them people in the studio? Why are they're clapping all
Speaker 1: the time for you help? You think you can help
Speaker 1: the war effort by talking about it for two hours
Speaker 1: on the podcast two hours? Well my two hours straight.
Speaker 1: You have to do a lot of ads to monetize
Speaker 1: a popular podcast like the Al Frankin podcast. You know what,
Speaker 1: you know what you know what, I changed my mind.
Speaker 1: Come on over here, Britt, bring your ass on over.
Speaker 1: I can get you on the front lines tomorrow. I
Speaker 1: gotta run, I gotta go do something fantastic. Roy Wood Junior. Everyone,
Speaker 1: I'm on my way. Will be right back with South
Speaker 1: Carolina Center lay Vy Grab Welcome back, Welcome back to
Speaker 1: the Daily Show. My guest tonight is the senior Senator
Speaker 1: from South Carolina with whom I served in the United
Speaker 1: States Senate. Please welcome Senator Lindsey Graham. Thanks man, Well, well,
Speaker 1: thanks for a common man. This is what happens, right.
Speaker 1: I'm hopeful we'll find some common ground. And you know,
Speaker 1: I think that we probably joked playing, which I think
Speaker 1: is terrible, but go ahead, Okay. My joke was that
Speaker 1: I'm point I'm thinking that whatever everyone else is thinking,
Speaker 1: which is, how could the two of us possibly come
Speaker 1: off good after this? Or either of us or either
Speaker 1: of us? Is that funny? No? No, well thanks her.
Speaker 1: Well anyway, I'm glad. That's how you kill a joe. Well,
Speaker 1: I think we have a joke that I don't think
Speaker 1: it's funny, but let's try it. But you know whatever, Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm going to go in the senor. It was a
Speaker 1: good senator. You thought I covered up what you said. Well,
Speaker 1: we were friends, um were, Well, it's it's there's been
Speaker 1: a strain on it. We are friends, but there's been
Speaker 1: some strain and your part politic h yeah, um, well
Speaker 1: you know, uh, let's find some common ground. Uh, for
Speaker 1: example Ukraine, we both believe that this is the vital
Speaker 1: interests coming around and they should be in jail. How
Speaker 1: about that? Maybe not so much on Trump, but definitely
Speaker 1: I'm putting that. Yeah, yeah, who's slightly more serious. But
Speaker 1: there's some serious charters against frump. Okay, But nevertheless, there
Speaker 1: are some Republicans and we mentioned Rhonda Santas the governor
Speaker 1: who doesn't agree with you and me. Well, you know,
Speaker 1: it's a free country. But let me just say this,
Speaker 1: if this is not in our vital interest, what would
Speaker 1: be to have a guy invade another country rewrite the
Speaker 1: map of Europe? But force of arms is bringing back
Speaker 1: any memories, sign an agreement, tears it up, and he's
Speaker 1: gotten an arrest warrant from the ICC, which is done
Speaker 1: a great job, and they want't to arrest him because
Speaker 1: he's taken Ukrainian children, kidnap them for their families and
Speaker 1: send them to Russia. Other than that, this doesn't matter
Speaker 1: to us. I don't want to live in a world
Speaker 1: where that crap goes on without punishment. I want him
Speaker 1: to be punished. I won't be defeated. I want the
Speaker 1: Ukrainians to kick his ass, and I want China to
Speaker 1: look and see what's coming in their way if they're
Speaker 1: going to Taiwan. I absolutely agree, and I and I
Speaker 1: think President Biden has done an excellent job leading this
Speaker 1: coalition and by sharing our intelligence with them at the beginning,
Speaker 1: getting the coalition together before the war even started. I
Speaker 1: think you would admit that was Yeah, I'm trying to
Speaker 1: be yeah, I'm trying to be helpful. I think the
Speaker 1: Ukrainians need F sixteen yesterday. I think I would do
Speaker 1: more on the military front. But we're in it together, right.
Speaker 1: I want to help the administration where I can. You know,
Speaker 1: you got Chi and putin meeting in Moscow, and that's
Speaker 1: scary because we don't want them, well, you don't want
Speaker 1: them to be aligning together. So I'd like to see
Speaker 1: Russia become a state sponsor of terrorism under US law,
Speaker 1: because anybody that provides material lead to state sponsor terrorism.
Speaker 1: Any nation runs into sanctions, and now we'll make it
Speaker 1: harder for China, a lot harder you would to them.
Speaker 1: So let's make it harder for China to help Russia
Speaker 1: in a cruel, barbaric endeavor to change the world for
Speaker 1: the worst. Okay, now you seem a little critical of
Speaker 1: Biden for the planes not being there yet, thanks not
Speaker 1: getting there earlier. Or our tank's not there, the German
Speaker 1: tanks are getting anybody's tank just send to tanks. You know.
Speaker 1: I want to quote some some stuff that Trump said.
Speaker 1: This is what he told a guy named Seann NITTI.
Speaker 1: I have no idea who he is. This is what
Speaker 1: Donald Trump said. This is two weeks after the warst harder.
Speaker 1: I could have negotiated. At worst, I could have made
Speaker 1: a deal to take over something. You know, there are
Speaker 1: certain areas that are Russian speaking areas, frankly, but you
Speaker 1: could have worked the deal. So, in other words, Trump
Speaker 1: at the beginning of the war was saying like, hey,
Speaker 1: I could I could have stopped this thing. I could
Speaker 1: have just given them thanks Russians stand up right, yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And those that reminds me of the suit Dayton lamp. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that reminds me of a lot of things that didn't
Speaker 1: turn out well. So how about this idea in nineteen
Speaker 1: ninety four of when we were much younger, the Ukrainians
Speaker 1: had seventeen hundred nuclear weapons left over from the Soviet era.
Speaker 1: Soviet Union collapses, they get back the nukes to Russia
Speaker 1: with the understanding that their territory and sovereignty will be respected.
Speaker 1: And it included the crimel the ninety four Matt Okay,
Speaker 1: So now here's poutin years later tearing that up, claiming
Speaker 1: things not his warning things because people speak some of
Speaker 1: the land a whitey Trump such a thing. Well, I'm
Speaker 1: not here to say I agree with that. But when
Speaker 1: he was president, I thought he did a pretty good
Speaker 1: job of taking the fight to the terrorist I really do.
Speaker 1: He kill kills Solomony, he killed Baghdaddy. The Abraham Accords
Speaker 1: was a big deal. There you go. He also kind
Speaker 1: of was impeach for shaking down Zelensky. Yeah, but I
Speaker 1: knowing that one, you didn't vote guilty vote for one
Speaker 1: of them. But I'm sure there's been another one coming. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So I think if if he's not action boom, if
Speaker 1: you want this would actually help at home I went
Speaker 1: to New York and nobody like me is actually the
Speaker 1: I can withstand you like it killing. Yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: it's about the luck. My point is, this is what
Speaker 1: he's saying. This is what your guy that you want
Speaker 1: to be president, yeah, said after the war has started.
Speaker 1: I think that's where my guy who I want to
Speaker 1: get reelected, had organized the coalition and started and had
Speaker 1: stood up and said no, we're not going to allow
Speaker 1: this to happen. So I think, yeah, twenty four election
Speaker 1: is coming, but I think we got a chance here
Speaker 1: in the near term really with the proper military support,
Speaker 1: continued economic assistance to the Ukraine for the Ukrainians to
Speaker 1: decimate the Russian army in Ukraine. They just need the
Speaker 1: weapons to do it. And wouldn't that be a great
Speaker 1: outcome to a very tragic event. It would be lose.
Speaker 1: And you talk to some of your other Republican friends
Speaker 1: on the other side, Marjorie Taylor Green, I know you're
Speaker 1: very tons of time. Yeah, but there is a kind
Speaker 1: of the space later laser taken down, but we'll see
Speaker 1: how that works. Yeah, that was a Jewish space laser.
Speaker 1: But she said it was pleas thought it had been
Speaker 1: funny to have a laser or yamagar it just flat around.
Speaker 1: Apparently nobody else did it. She has seen it. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: you know what I think what we should do is
Speaker 1: take a quick break, Okay, and pay the bills, and
Speaker 1: we'll be right back with Senator Lindsey Graham right after
Speaker 1: an important message from my pillow dot. Welcome, Welcome back
Speaker 1: to the Daily Show. We're here with Senator Lindsey Graham.
Speaker 1: You know, Lindsay, you asked me during the break what
Speaker 1: I'm doing. Part of what I've been doing is the
Speaker 1: only former US senator currently on tour tour. And when
Speaker 1: the audiences asked me, they say who who's the funniest
Speaker 1: You're a center while you're there, and I always say
Speaker 1: Lindsey Graham and they always hate it out of my crowd.
Speaker 1: And then I tell him this, when you were running
Speaker 1: for president in sixteen, and I'll remember that, Yeah, I
Speaker 1: remember you're like two percent at one point. Yeah, that
Speaker 1: was peaked. So one day I go, I'm going to
Speaker 1: the center bathroom and I turned to you and I say, Lindsay,
Speaker 1: if I were a Republican, i'd vote for you for president.
Speaker 1: And you said, that's my problem. That's the first start.
Speaker 1: So you know, when you get our age, you have
Speaker 1: a lot of time to talk to people in the bathroom.
Speaker 1: So and uh yeah, that was that was my problem.
Speaker 1: In a nutshell, the al frank and wing of the
Speaker 1: Republican Party is not as big as you think it
Speaker 1: would big. Yeah. Yeah, well, let's hope you make it
Speaker 1: the rest of the week. By the way, don't you
Speaker 1: think it'd be a good host? Thank you. Maybe if
Speaker 1: you have a recess week and you're not going overseas,
Speaker 1: you could do it for a week. Well maybe not,
Speaker 1: maybe not. Okay, let's talk about you said this week
Speaker 1: that these charges or this charges in New York might
Speaker 1: actually help Trump. What do you mean by that? I think, well,
Speaker 1: the Republicans who will help Trump? Because the Sire Spence
Speaker 1: was the previous prosecutor. He looked at this and said no,
Speaker 1: thank you, and the just attorney looked at it and
Speaker 1: said no thank you. And this guy comes along, Alvan Bragg,
Speaker 1: and he's now going to prosecute Trump taking a mismean
Speaker 1: or to a felony by merging two statutes that have
Speaker 1: never been used before. It's in New York, and most
Speaker 1: people on our side think it's a never ending effort
Speaker 1: to take a wrecking ball to Trump. So yeah, I
Speaker 1: think it'll help him. Okay, Well, let's take another state
Speaker 1: where there might be a wrecking ball coming from him,
Speaker 1: and that's in Georgia. Yeah, there's Georgia. Yeah. I don't
Speaker 1: know what's going to happen there. Uh No, you testified there.
Speaker 1: I was treated boyle. So you know, I wanted to
Speaker 1: tell you I didn't do this. I want to say,
Speaker 1: like Lindsey, because at first you fought testifying, I said,
Speaker 1: just go there, tell the truth. You have nothing to
Speaker 1: worry about. Yeah, didn't know, that's what. Okay, because he
Speaker 1: talk to Rafvensburger and part of it, you know, part
Speaker 1: of this is he talked to Rafvensburger on tape. We've
Speaker 1: all heard the tape, and he said, all I need
Speaker 1: is eleven thousand, seven hundred and eighty votes, one more
Speaker 1: than we have, is what he said. And then later
Speaker 1: in the thing said you better do this. You could
Speaker 1: get in trouble. You and your lawyer could get in trouble.
Speaker 1: Now that that's pretty bad. Why don't we wait till
Speaker 1: it comes out? See what missus Willis does with the
Speaker 1: grand jury test money if she chooses to indict him,
Speaker 1: and based on what she says, I'll respond. But New
Speaker 1: York hits the one in front of us, and we'll
Speaker 1: deal with that one. We don't even know that because
Speaker 1: Trump said it, and it may not be true. Anything's bible,
Speaker 1: anything's possible. But you're right, I mean, okay, let's talk
Speaker 1: about this. Because Trump, in that tape I remember, said
Speaker 1: to Ravisburg, I won Georgia by over four hundred thousand votes. No,
Speaker 1: you know he won the elect He lost the election.
Speaker 1: You know he lost. I voted to certify the Georgia election. Provide. Yes,
Speaker 1: I did. Yeah, you voted to certify. I did it
Speaker 1: because you have been crazy, not too. I mean that
Speaker 1: may not can't be in the Senate. Yeah, we Republican
Speaker 1: colleagues who did not vote to certify. You know, this
Speaker 1: election wasn't stolen. You know that the election when I
Speaker 1: see buy and I call him mister president. But that's different.
Speaker 1: That's different than acknowledging. Well, I voted on the floor
Speaker 1: of the Senate to certify the results of the twenty
Speaker 1: twenty election. And here's the question for you and maybe others.
Speaker 1: Trump's trying to come back. I think he's got a
Speaker 1: better than good chance of winning the primary chance of
Speaker 1: being president again. And you got to ask yourself, Now,
Speaker 1: this is what we all came here part, right, So
Speaker 1: you got to ask yourself, how can that be? Well, yes,
Speaker 1: but here's what I can ask you that. Here's what
Speaker 1: I know about this country, about this democracy, about our constitution.
Speaker 1: The number one tradition that's meaningful in this country is
Speaker 1: a peaceful transition of power. Right you voted to certify.
Speaker 1: From everything that's come out, we know that Lindsey Powell
Speaker 1: was lying, Sydney, sorry, Sydney Powell. Giuliani was lying that
Speaker 1: he was told over and over again by his anyone
Speaker 1: who had any credibility he lost, that there was no
Speaker 1: Bill Barry, everybody everybody. How then can you want a
Speaker 1: guy who allowed us to go through this violent insurrection
Speaker 1: right really to be president again? Yeah? Yeah, Well, let
Speaker 1: me just say this. The other side of the story
Speaker 1: is that when President Trump was president on the things
Speaker 1: that our care the most about, national security, I thought
Speaker 1: he did damn good job. He got the Abraham Accords,
Speaker 1: which is probably the biggest change in mile our time
Speaker 1: in the Mid East, where Arab nations recognize Israel, and
Speaker 1: we're trying to work on Saudi Arabia. On the Biden's watch,
Speaker 1: he kills Solemony, who's the guy who should have been
Speaker 1: killed a long time ago. He secured our border, he
Speaker 1: made us energy independence. So I look at the policies
Speaker 1: of Trump, and I like the policies of Trump. And
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, he's got to prove
Speaker 1: to people, not me, that he's able to lead us again,
Speaker 1: and that will be a challenge for him, and that'll
Speaker 1: be a challenge for Biden to say, give me four
Speaker 1: more years after the last four. We'll see what happens. Well,
Speaker 1: I think Biden wins that, but we don't have to say, yeah,
Speaker 1: how much he'll be paid. Here, see, the other eight
Speaker 1: host asked me to come on your show. They're trying
Speaker 1: to knock you out. So there'll be a permanent host,
Speaker 1: and there won't Ben, It'll be somebody. And I mean,
Speaker 1: here's the thing. The sky just well, he pardoned all
Speaker 1: these these criminals. I mean, and that's who you pardon,
Speaker 1: I guess, but man a fort Stone Flynn, and he's
Speaker 1: going to populate his new administration with my two cents worth.
Speaker 1: It won't be about what who he pardoned him about.
Speaker 1: Can he make things better for the people who feel
Speaker 1: like things are not going well? Can he secure a
Speaker 1: broken border? Can he lower in place? Let's talk about safe,
Speaker 1: Let's talk about the border. Okay, you and I worked
Speaker 1: on You were one of the Gang of Eight in
Speaker 1: twenty thirty. You can be in just about this is.
Speaker 1: In twenty thirteen, we passed sixty eight with sixty eight
Speaker 1: boats in the Senate Comprehensive Immigration Reform right, Comprehensive Immigration
Speaker 1: Campaign Reform. And I thought that was a great bill.
Speaker 1: I did too, and I think we need that. I've
Speaker 1: heard you say recently, we have we don't have enough
Speaker 1: workers in this country. We need immigration reform because we're
Speaker 1: declining a population. Right, people like me or probably I'm
Speaker 1: not married, I don't have any kids. I'm screwing it
Speaker 1: up for the rest of you. So the bottom line
Speaker 1: is that we need to get a workforce's moral, reliable.
Speaker 1: Let people come here and work and make it a
Speaker 1: win win. We need to secure a border. We need
Speaker 1: to open up America to merit based immigration from all
Speaker 1: over the world. And I've always believed that we need
Speaker 1: to get our dead under control. That's going to take
Speaker 1: by partisanship, but give back to the point you've got
Speaker 1: to come to grips the idea. A lot of Americans
Speaker 1: believe that Trump was a good president, but they don't
Speaker 1: like what he did or what he said. And this
Speaker 1: is going to be a real contest in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 1: It will be a real contest. My friend, well, I
Speaker 1: think they're the Florida governor is going to make it
Speaker 1: a real contest. But yeah, no, we got a deep
Speaker 1: bench on our side. We have a deep bench. And
Speaker 1: if a Problicant I I made him speechless. This is
Speaker 1: how you've done it. He's done it. I just think
Speaker 1: this guy is I mean, okay, I'll say it. I
Speaker 1: just think he's a pathological liar. And I don't mean
Speaker 1: to be harsh because I know he's your friend, and
Speaker 1: I'm a malignant narcissist and uh. And he chose some
Speaker 1: good people to be in his administration at first, but
Speaker 1: it seemed like as those guys went, those men and
Speaker 1: women went, he brought in worse and worse people. And
