I DON’T KNOW, EXACTLY, BUT I GOT I DON’T KNOW, EXACTLY, BUT I GOT A MESSAGE ABOUT 1:00 IN THE A MESSAGE ABOUT 1:00 IN THE MORNING FROM ONE OF THE PEOPLE MORNING FROM ONE OF THE PEOPLE IN HIS OFFICE THAT HE HAD PASSED IN HIS OFFICE THAT HE HAD PASSED AWAY.

HE WAS LIKE A MEMBER OF THE HE WAS LIKE A MEMBER OF THE FAMILY TO ME, IT’S VERY TOUGH, FAMILY TO ME, IT’S VERY TOUGH, ACTUALLY.
ACTUALLY.
IT’S AMAZING.
IT’S AMAZING.
HE WAS -- HE WAS -- HE WAS SUCH AN ADVOCATE.
IF HE WANTED TO GET SOMETHING, AND YOU KNOW, HE HAD A UNIQUE ABILITY.
HE WAS ABLE TO DEAL WITH DEMOCRATS -- IF I HAD A PROBLEM, A REAL PROBLEM.
I WOULDN’T OFTEN ASK, BUT IF I HAD A PROBLEM WITH A DEMOCRAT, HE COULD WORK IT OUT.
HE WAS A GREAT POLITICIAN, ACTUALLY.
HE LOVED HIS WORK, MR.
PRESIDENT.
YEP.
I HEAR YOU SAYING THAT IN THIS FINAL CONVERSATION THAT YOU HAVE EMBLEMATIC.
HE WAS TIRELESS, BUT IT BROUGHT HIM SUCH JOY, DIDN’T IT?
THERE WAS NOBODY LIKE HIM.
HE LOVED BEING A POLITICIAN, AND HE WAS GOING TO WIN HIS ELECTION.
HE WAS GOING TO WIN IT BIG.
I ENDORSED HIM VERY EARLY, AND HE WAS GOING TO WIN IT BIG.
HE JUST HAD IT MADE, AND HE JUST LOVED BEING A POLITICIAN.
I SAID THE REASON I’M ENDORSING YOU IS I HAVE TO MAKE SURE YOU WOULD, BECAUSE IF YOU DIDN’T WIN, I DON’T THINK YOU CAN HANDLE LIFE.
HE WAS A MAN -- YOU KNOW, THERE ARE GUYS THAT CAN LOSE AND THEY GO INTO SOMETHING ELSE.
I CAN’T IMAGINE HIM DOING ANYTHING ELSE.
IF YOU WEREN’T A U.S.
SENATOR, I DON’T KNOW IF YOU COULD LIVE VERY LONG AND LOOK WHAT HAPPENS.
HE WAS GOING TO HAVE A BIG VICTORY, AND THE PEOPLE LOVED HIM.
EVERYBODY LOVED HIM.
WELL, NO, HE HAD SOME ENEMIES -- HE WAS A TOUGH COOKIE.
DON’T MISUNDERSTAND.
HE WAS A TOUGH COOKIE IN MANY WAYS.
IF HE WANTED TO GET SOMETHING, IF HE THOUGHT HE WAS RIGHT AND HAD PEOPLE AGAINST HIM, HE COULD BE VERY TOUGH, ACTUALLY, BUT HE WAS A GOOD PERSON.
MR.
PRESIDENT, IT IS JUST EXTRAORDINARY.
YOU JUST SPOKE WITH HIM LAST NIGHT AND HIS OFFICE SAID HE PASSED AWAY FROM A BRIEF AND SUDDEN ILLNESS.
ARE YOU LEARNING DETAILS ABOUT HOW AND WHY HE PASSED?
DID HE TELL YOU ANYTHING IN THE PHONE CALL ABOUT NOT FEELING WELL?
NO.
HE SAID HE WAS A LITTLE TIRED.
IT WAS A LONG TRIP, MANY HOURS.
HE HAD JUST GOTTEN BACK, AND I MEAN, IT MUST HAVE BEEN RIGHT AFTER THAT BECAUSE I UNDERSTAND THE POLICE OR WHOEVER IT IS CAME THERE AT ABOUT 7:30, 8:00 IN THE EVENING, SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
SO SOMEBODY NOTIFIED HIM, BUT NO, HE FELT OKAY.
I ACTUALLY -- ON THE -- ON THE PHONE, HE TOLD ME, KRISTEN.
HE SAID, YOU KNOW, I FEEL GOOD, BUT I’M TIRED.
HE WAS FINE.
I KNEW HIM WELL.
HE WOULD LET YOU KNOW IF HE WASN’T FEELING WELL.
HE HAD DAYS WHEN HE DIDN’T FEEL SO WELL, AND HE’D LET YOU KNOW ABOUT IT, BUT HE WAS A FANTASTIC PERSON.
HE WAS A MAN WHO -- YOU’RE GOING TO WATCH, IT’S GOING TO BE A VERY BIG THING WITH HIM.
HE’S GOING TO BE APPRECIATED MORE NOW THAN HE WAS WHEN HE WAS LIVING, I THINK.
AND JUST TO MAKE THAT POINT -- I MEAN, AUTHORITIES WERE CALLED TO HIS HOME, RESPONDING TO INITIAL REPORTS OF A CARDIAC ARREST.
COULD BE.
HIS OFFICE SAYING A BRIEF AND SUDDEN ILLNESS.
DO YOU HAVE ANY MORE DETAILS?
I THINK IT WOULD BE THAT BECAUSE WHEN I SPOKE TO HIM IT COULD HAVE BEEN -- MINUTES BEFORE BASED ON THE FACT THAT I HEARD ABOUT THE CALL, WHATEVER TIME THAT WAS.
IT WAS SHORTLY BEFORE, BUT IT HAD TO BE SOMETHING LIKE THAT BECAUSE HE WAS -- OTHER THAN BEING TIRED, HE WAS FINE, AND SO IT HAD TO BE SOMETHING LIKE THAT THAT WOULD JUST BE A QUICK END, AND MAYBE THAT’S NOT THE WORST WAY TO GO.
YOU KNOW, HE HAS DEFINED MOMENTS.
HIS MOMENT ON CAVANAUGH WAS ONE OF THE CLASSICS ON THE HISTORY OF THE SENATE.
HIS MOMENT WAS LITERALLY, LITERALLY ONE OF THE GREAT CLASSICS OF -- OF ANYONE IN THE SENATE WHEN HE DEFENDED BRETT KAVANAUGH SO BRILLIANTLY AND BRETT MIGHT NOT HAVE MADE IT.
THEY WERE TREATED HIM SO UNFAIRLY AND LINDSEY WAS SO ANGRY AT THE SENATE BECAUSE OF IT, AND HE HAD AN EMOTIONAL MOMENT, AND I THINK THAT SAVED BRETT KAVANAUGH’S SUPREME COURT, YOU KNOW, ASCENSION.
HE WAS SO ANGRY AT THE WAY BRETT WAS BEING TREATED BY THE DEMOCRATS.
IT WAS SO UNFAIR.
IT WAS SO UNFAIR.
LINDSEY DID THING THERE THAT I THINK NOBODY ELSE COULD HAVE DONE THAT.
LET ME ASK YOU MORE ABOUT HIS LEGACY, AND I KNOW YOU REMEMBER THIS MOMENT, MR.
PRESIDENT, BACK IN 2015 WHEN HE WAS ONE OF YOUR CHALLENGERS ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL, THE TWO OF YOU FACING OFF AGAINST EACH OTHER AND THEN HE VERY QUICKLY BECAME ONE OF YOUR STAUNCHEST ALLIES, MR.
PRESIDENT, AND HE FRANKLY, NEVER LET UP.
NO, HE NEVER DID.
YOU PLAY GOLF TOGETHER, FREQUENTLY ON THE PHONE TOGETHER.
WHAT DO YOU THINK IT WAS ABOUT SENATOR GRAHAM THAT MADE HIM MAKE THE TRANSITION FROM COMPETITOR TO ALLY SO FORCEFULLY.
I MET HIM ONCE OR TWICE, AND I GOT TO KNOW HIM GOOD ON THE CAMPAIGN, HE WAS TOUGH, AND HE SAID I’LL SEE YOU IN SOUTH CAROLINA.
HE WAS -- BUT WHEN IT CAME TO SOUTH CAROLINA -- ON I WON SOUTH CAROLINA BY A LOT AND I RAN THE TABLE, AND IT WAS GOOD.
HE APPRECIATED IT.
WE GOT FRIENDLY, AND THE FRIENDSHIP GREW, IT JUST GREW, AND HE WAS AN AMAZING ADVOCATE.
I DON’T KNOW HOW YOU FIND ANYBODY LIKE HIM.
HE WAS SO INTENSE, HE LITERALLY CALLED ME ABOUT THE SAVE AMERICA ACT.
HE WAS TRAVELING FOR MANY, MANY HOURS.
THAT’S A LONG FLIGHT.
THAT’S A LONG TRIP, AND HE CALLS ME ABOUT THE SAVE AMERICA ACT.
HE THOUGHT WE WERE GOING TO GET IT PASSED.
THIS IS A BIG -- THIS IS A BIG -- THIS IS A BIG BLOW TO THE SAVE AMERICA ACT, LET ME TELL YOU.
DO YOU REMEMBER, MR.
PRESIDENT, WHAT WAS THE LAST THING YOU SAID TO HIM?
WHAT WAS THE LAST THING HE SAID TO YOU?
I SAID WE’LL SEE YOU SOON.
COME OVER ANY TIME YOU WANT.
HE CAME INTO THE WHITE HOUSE A LOT BECAUSE I LIKED HIM.
I CAN’T DO THAT WITH EVERYBODY, AND HE’D COME IN A LOT.
HE WAS A GREAT GAUGE, A TEMPERATURE GAUGE OF THE SENATE.
HE WAS SOMEBODY THAT MOST DEMOCRATS LIKED, SOME DIDN’T, BUT MOST DEMOCRATS LIKED, AND JUST ABOUT ALL OF THE REPUBLICANS LIKED LINDSEY, HE GOT ALONG WITH EVERYBODY, AND HE WAS A TOUGH COOKIE IN A LOT OF WAYS, BUT -- HONESTLY, HE WAS A GREAT POLITICIAN.
PEOPLE DON’T REALIZE WHAT A GOOD POLITICIAN HE WAS.
HE COULD -- HE COULD GO IN AND GET SOMETHING APPROVED.
HE WOULD -- HE WOULD JUST GET PEOPLE ON HIS SIDE.
HE WAS REALLY A TALENTED -- YOU PROBABLY NEVER HEARD ME SAY THAT ABOUT ANYBODY BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, THERE AREN’T TOO MANY OF THEM, LET ME TELL YOU.
SOMETIMES YOU MEET SOMEBODY THAT’S BEEN THERE FOR 25 YEARS AND YOU THINK HOW DID THEY STAY?
THIS MAN WAS A GREAT POLITICIAN.
HE REALLY GOT IT.
TO THAT POINT, MR.
PRESIDENT, IT’S UNTHINKABLE ABOUT REPLACING LINDSEY GRAHAM, YET, THE GOVERNOR OF THE GREAT STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA WILL NEED TO APPOINT SOMEONE ON AN INTERIM BASIS.
THERE WILL BE A SPECIAL ELECTION CALLED.
DO YOU HAVE -- I KNOW IT’S ONLY HOUR, BUT IS THERE SOMEONE YOU THINK YOU SHOULD APPOINT?
I HAVE SOMEONE THAT I THINK WOULD BE GREAT, BUT I DON’T WANT TO SAY IT NOW.
OKAY.
BECAUSE IT’S TOO SOON WITH LINDSEY.
I DON’T WANT TO EVEN TALK ABOUT ANYBODY, BUT I DO HAVE SOMEBODY THAT I THINK IS REALLY GOOD.
THE GOVERNOR IS A GOOD FRIEND OF MINE.
I ENDORSED HIM EARLY ON, AND HE ENDORSED ME RIGHT FROM THE BEGINNING AS A PERSON THAT NEVER DID THIS BEFORE.
IN 2016 HE CAME OUT AND VERY STRONGLY ENDORSED ME, AND I MADE UP FOR IT.
I REMOVED SOMEONE FROM OFFICE THEY DIDN’T THINK WAS GOOD.
MOVED HER OVER TO THE UNITED NATIONS AND 95% OF MY DOG THAT IS THE UNITED NATIONS JOB WAS NOT EXACTLY TOUGH AND SHE WAS OKAY AT IT, AND I DID IT BECAUSE HENRY McMASTER WAS LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR, AND BY MOVING HER, I GOT MYSELF A GREAT GUY.
HENRY McMASTER HAS BEEN A REALLY GOOD GOVERNOR, AND A REALLY GOOD GUY.
HE’S BEEN A GOOD GOVERNOR, AND NOW HE’S TERMED OUT, BUT HE’S GOING TO DO THE RIGHT THING, I THINK.
HENRY WILL BE FANTASTIC.
REMEMBER, HE ENDORSED ME OUT OF NOWHERE, HE SAID I LIKE HIM THE BEST AND HE CAMPAIGNED FOR ME, I SAID WHO IS THAT MAN THAT’S CAMPAIGNING ALL OF THE TIME?
I HARDLY KNOW HIM.
THEY SAID THAT’S THE LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR.
THEY HAVE A GREAT GOVERNOR, AND HE’S GOING TO MAKE A GOOD DECISION, BUT ULTIMATELY, THERE WILL BE AN ELECTION PRETTY SOON, AS I UNDERSTAND THE RULES.
EVERY STATE IS DIFFERENT, BUT ULTIMATELY, THEY’LL HAVE AN ELECTION AND THEY’LL HAVE SOME PEOPLE JOINING.
SOME ARE GOOD.
SOME ARE BAD, AND -- BUT I HAVE SOMEONE THAT I LIKE, BUT I’M NOT GOING TO TELL YOU NOW BECAUSE IT’S TOO SOON.
FAIR ENOUGH.
I NEVER THOUGHT I’D BE IN THIS POSITION.
I THOUGHT LINDSEY WOULD BE LIVING FOREVER.
I NEVER THOUGHT -- I SAID LINDSEY, YOU’RE GOING TO LIVE FOREVER, AND HE WAS GOING TO HAVE A BIG VICTORY.
HE WAS SCHEDULED TO WIN BY A LOT.
HE HAD MY SUPPORT AND HE WAS SCHEDULED.
HE WAS GOING TO WIN BY A LOT AND WAS GOING TO HAVE ONE OF HIS BEST ELECTIONS EVER, AND NOW HE’S GOT THIS.
TERRIBLE.
I HAD THE GREAT HONOR OF BEING ABLE TO TALK TO HIM A COUPLE OF TIMES THIS WEEK, MR.
PRESIDENT, AND AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, WE TALKED A LOT ABOUT FOREIGN POLICY AND A LOT OF IRAN AND IN HUNDREDOR OF HIM I WANT TO STILL HAVE THE CONVERSATIONS.
THOSE ARE THE CONVERSATIONS HE WANTED TO HAVE HERE THIS MORNING, MR.
PRESIDENT.
YOU LAUNCHED A FRESH ROUND OF STRIKES OVERNIGHT.
IRAN SAID OVERNIGHT THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ IS CLOSED.
CENTCOM CAME OUT THIS MORNING AND SAID THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ IS OPEN.
IT’S OPEN, AND I DON’T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT BECAUSE I WANT TO HONOR THE LIFE OF LINDSEY GRAHAM, SO I DON’T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT.
I TOLD YOU THAT BEFORE THE CALL.
YEAH.
IT’S OPEN.
WE BOMBED THE HELL OUT OF THEM LAST NIGHT.
THEY’RE VERY, VERY EVIL AND SICK PEOPLE.
WE HAD MEETINGS WITH THEM FOR THE LAST -- THEY AGREED TO A DEAL YESTERDAY, A PERFECT DEAL FOR US.
NO NUCLEAR, NO THIS, NO THAT, NO NOTHING.
THEY GAVE UP EVERYTHING, AND THEN AFTER THAT, THEY LEFT THE ROOM, AND THEN WITHIN AN HOUR THEY LAUNCHED A DRONE AT A SHIP.
YOU SAID YOU PEOPLE ARE SICK, AND IT’S ONE OF THOSE THINGS.
I DON’T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT.
I WANT TO TALK ABOUT ONE PERSON TODAY, LINDSEY GRAHAM.
AS WE SHOULD, MR.
PRESIDENT.
JUST FINALLY, BEFORE I LET YOU GO.
WHAT IS THE LEGACY OF SENATOR LINDSEY GRAHAM, MR.
PRESIDENT?
HE’S GOT SO MANY LEGACY, BUT ONE OF THE LEGACIES IS A SUPREME COURT JUSTICE WHO IS EXCELLENT NAMED BRETT KAVANAUGH.
THAT’S ONE OF THE LEGACIES.
THAT’S A BIG LEGACY BECAUSE BRETT, HE WAS TREATED UNFAIRLY AND I DON’T THINK HE WOULD HAVE GOTTEN THROUGH WITHOUT LINDSEY.
I THINK IT WOULD BE THE TOP TEN, TOP FIVE IN THE HISTORY OF THE SENATE.
THE EMOTION, THE ANGER, THE LOVE, THE WHOLE THING.
EVERYTHING WAS IN THAT.
I CALLED HIM UP AND I SAID THAT’S ONE OF THE GREAT CLASSICS OF ALL TIME.
HE WAS A GREAT POLITICIAN.
HE REALLY WAS.
HE GOT ALONG WITH A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT YOU WOULDN’T THINK OF.
HE WAS SOMEBODY THAT LOVED OUR COUNTRY, AND HE FOUGHT VERY HARD FOR THE COUNTRY, AND I KNOW HE WOULD DO YOUR SHOW.
HE TOLD ME, I’M GOING TO DO "MEET THE PRESS," CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?
HE TOLD ME LAST NIGHT, HE’S DOING "MEET THE PRESS," YOU KNOW, AND I SAID JUST RELAX AND TAKE IT EASY, LINDSEY.
YOU JUST GOT BACK FROM A LONG TRIP, BUT HE WAS -- I THOUGHT HE WAS JUST GOING TO LIVE FOREVER, AND IT DIDN’T WORK OUT THAT WAY.
MR.
PRESIDENT, OUR DEEPEST CONDOLENCES TO YOU.
I KNOW THAT YOU HAVE LOST A FRIEND AS WELL AS ONE OF YOUR CLOSEST ALLIES.
YEAH.
WE DEEPLY APPRECIATE YOUR JOINING US TODAY AND GIVING US YOUR REFLECTIONS ON SENATOR LINDSEY GRAHAM WHO THE NATION’S
