We all found out this weekend, of course, that Lindsey Graham had passed away. And I wanna ask Marjorie Taylor Greene in a minute who she thinks should replace him and who will replace him. Those are two different answers, of course. But first, let me tell you a little bit more about it. um So obviously, they need as many votes as they can in the Senate because of [00:00:19] how tight things are in Congress. So according to the Wall Street Journal, this coming week, the Senate is scheduled to consider the nomination of Trump's Attorney General pick. Todd Blanch on Wednesday, the nominee said to have his confirmation hearing from the Senate Judiciary Committee of which Graham was a member. Graham's death could make it harder for the Senate to quickly [00:00:35] confirm Blanch given that Democrats are expected to be sharply opposed. And the majority was 52 to 47, but Mitch McConnell is indisposed right now in a hospital somewhere, we are told. And obviously Lindsey Graham has passed, so they need to fill this replacement right [00:00:53] away. And they have, we'll tell you who that is. But remember, there's the- temporary replacement and then there's the person who would replace him on the ballot because he was running for reelection in this cycle. So those are two different issues and we'll give you both of those in a second, but the Wall Street Journal continues. The process to replace Graham is straightforward. [00:01:12] Governor Henry McMaster, a Republican, can appoint a temporary replacement immediately to serve out the rest of Graham's term and later in the day he did. which ends in January. Once someone fills the position, Republicans will be back to a 53-47 majority, though Senator Mitch McConnell remains unavailable. Then the state would hold a redo of the Republican primary to select [00:01:32] a new nominee to take Graham's place on the ballot, given the state's deep red lean, they say. The winner of the special primaries is expected to be the favorite to keep the seat in the Republican hands in November's election for the next six-year term. And so we've had a lot of different names that are already in the press. Let me run. run those by you. Lieutenant [00:01:51] Governor Pamela Yvette, who Trump backed uh earlier, not for this seat, but for the earlier run. Representative Ralph Norman, Representative Russell Frye, former Representative Trey Gowdy, former South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson, former Senate candidate Mark Lynch, [00:02:07] current Secretary of Treasury for the United States Scott Besson, former Governor and UN Ambassador Nikki Haley, and former Representative Nancy Mace. uh And that one is very controversial. She uh tweeted about how just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in. Mike Lawler, [00:02:25] who is a rabid Zionist in Congress was outraged, outraged I say. He said literally no one is pulling you back in, supposed to screw a task. uh Taking glee over the potential of becoming a senator because of a vacancy created by the sudden death of your colleague is vile, completely unfit to serve. uh I uh happen to think that That's not why they're mad at Nancy Mason. [00:02:48] I have different reasons that I wouldn't want Nancy Mason office. But again, we'll talk her through in a second with Marjorie Taylor Greene was a little bit different note. But I gotta tell you who they did pick to do the interim Senate position. And President Donald Trump on Monday as the Washington Post reports recommended that Darlene Graham Nordeau serve [00:03:08] out the term of her late brother, Senator Lindsey Graham. And uh she uh was part of his apparently his kitchen cabinet. That might have been quite literal in their family kitchen. I don't know, they were very close as siblings. We are told to what degree she knows foreign policy or [00:03:25] politics or anything is not clear. To what degree she will serve power is crystal clear.

The headlines will still be there in the morning. You might as well wake up ready for them. In my opinion, if she wasn't going to serve uh the war machine in Israel, there's about a 0 % chance they would have picked her. But uh first, Marjorie, what [00:05:12] do you think of the replacement? And then who do you think? likely to win in that melee and who do you want to win? Well, I don't know Lindsey Graham's sister, but I can tell you right now that the only people they will consider picking will be people that will have completely [00:05:31] obedient votes. So I'm sure they're expecting that out of Senator Graham's sister and I'm sure she will obviously comply. However, who they pick for the special election and who Trump endorses, is the one that people should be more concerned about. And they will vet [00:05:49] them very carefully and make sure that these are very serious Trump loyalists. These will be vetted on all of their views. And if they have a voting record as a sitting member of Congress or elected politician, that will be looked at. And of course, it will be the APAC [00:06:06] donors, the RJC, the entire Israel lobby will be consulted. on who they prefer to replace Lindsey Graham. And their voices, unfortunately, will be listened to. And this is completely America last, as always. I would say, um think anyone that's very America first and is [00:06:30] sick and tired of the neocon establishment Republican Party is not interested in Israel controlling your elected officials. You should probably be against whoever Trump endorses. But we'll see who that is, but there will be an endorsement very quickly given that that special election [00:06:49] is August 11th. Yeah, so the filing period starts on July 21st, they have a week to file. And then afterwards, the special primary is going to take place on August 11th. And if no candidate wins outright, there'll be a runoff on August 25th. The reason I tell you all [00:07:06] that is because it's a super tight window. So what uh saying about who Trump uh picks as the candidate uh to endorse will have an enormous effect on the South Carolina voters. And that [00:07:21] person is far more likely to breeze through this process. So do you have a sense from the list I read of who it might be, who the most loyal servant of the establishment is in the Republican Party in South Carolina? Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if he picked Russell [00:07:39] Fry. That's someone that is definitely a Trump loyalist and will never rock the boat. Will take direct orders and make sure they happen. Somebody that the president likes very much. There's a few others on that list that I'm sure the deep state would love. Of course, [00:07:57] that would be Trey Gowdy. That's a Fox News correspondent or host that's also a former congressman. ah I believe on the Judiciary Committee while he was in Congress. That would be someone that I wouldn't be surprised if it is being highly considered. I highly doubt [00:08:17] they will pick Nancy Mace. She would have to make some really uh tough deals if they did pick her. But I see that as a complete long shot. Yeah, so uh look, I have objections [00:08:33] to Nancy Mace for a lot of her. positions that you might agree with her on, I don't know. And she's a little bit wild in how she conducts herself that weird pajama run and then driving to DC on some boat. Just strange in a lot of ways, but my objections are not the same as [00:08:52] the establishment's objections. Their number one objection was that she voted to release the FC in the piles. So she became persona non grata there, while everyone pretends that It's not connected to Israel and that Israel doesn't control Washington. The minute anybody voted [00:09:08] for that, they instantly, as you know better than anyone else, became toxic in Washington. So there's no chance that they will support her. But is there any chance you think that she could win despite the lack of support from Trump or Washington? I think that would be [00:09:26] a tough hill for her to climb. She came in fifth place in the governor's primary race in South Carolina. So I think that would be a long shot for her. So I think that's pretty tough. Yeah. All right, well, we'll find out but for now it's his sister who will now probably [00:09:45] very, very, very likely start voting for wars, voting for Israel, voting for any other thing that the donor class wants. uh So the chance of someone that is going to represent you in the South Carolina in the next Senate seat doesn't seem overly high. an angel gets his wings. [00:10:03] Totally not true, but it does keep you updated on our live shows.
