lindsay graham calls up and trump just puts it on speaker and says dance, lindsay. tell us about our golf game and lindsay starts dancing. look, this is the guy who committed and was in the history of the american presidency and for him to go back and forth and now start talking about golf or whatever he did and it's repugnant precisely because it makes it seem as if the whole thing wasn't serious. whatever he said before it's all kind of a joke. i mean, there were some republicans, even mcconnell who understood the gravity here and when a guy like graham waffles, it means even when he was condemning, it was all a political performance, nobody cares at all. it's just trivial and that is nauseating, as you say. >> i wonder, pat cipollone, the white house counsel has talked about by a lot of people phil rucker, right in their book that they thought donald trump could be charged that day. we have hannity texting that he believes that cipollone and the whole team will walk. you have the testimony that there was at least one phone call between pat cipollone and lindsay g

they did so last night of an interview they did with senator lindsay graham on january 6, 2021. the contents of which we reported on last week. on the tape lindsay graham predicts a backlash against donald trump and the entire stop the steal movement in light of the horrific violence on january 6th. take a listen. >> we'll actually come out of this thing stronger. moments like this reset. people will calm down. people will say "i don't want to be associated with that." this is a group within a group. what this does, there will be a rallying effect for a while in the country that says we're better than this. >> biden will help that, right? >> totally. he'll be maybe the best person to have, right? i mean, how mad can you get at joe biden? >> joe biden will be the best person to have. of course, lindsay graham's prediction there that there would be a post-january 6th moment of national unity, one that would include the republicans, at least didn't come close to happening because of, frankly, lindsay graham. instead of turning the disgraced ex-president and allies into political pa

let's watch. >> lindsay graham is extremely angry, he's almost shouting down the capitol police as they try to address the u.s. senators, demanding they take action and forcefully recapture the capitol. in the same moment he gets on the phone and he telephones the white house council -- >> you're hearing all of this? a first-hand account and this is not from other sources? >> i'm in the room. he said if trump doesn't tell these people to go home, meaning the rioters and capitol, we will call for the 25th amendment. >> senator graham talking about the 25th amendment, and how significant is that considering now how graham and the others down play january 6th and quickly did? >> we all wish as reporters we could be in the room at such a pivotal moment and that tidbit of reporting is crucial as you mentioned, and even though that was a discussion over a year ago on january 6th, and we have since seen the fallout from a number of republican leaders, mccarthy and o'connell on the senate side, questioning and wondering and saying in some ways trump was at fault for what happened that day and n

graham >>> no podemos quitar las armas a todo el mundo >>> en la negociaciÓn se queda afuera otros temas que por aÑos son controversiales para cruciales para algunos como la venta de los rifles ar-15 y tambiÉn. (informaciÓn en pantalla). >>> cada vez que pasa una tralgd ya como esta lo Único que recibimos son pensamientos y oraciones que no sirven de nada >>> ambos esperan lograr un acuerdo luego del receso del 6 de junio w en washington zulema salazar noticias telemundo >>> ojalÁ por fin se haga algo para evitar situaciones similar nosotros un futuro bueno nuevamente aparece un video donde ted cruz es confrontado por el tema de las armas ocurriÓ con el miembro de grupo liberal benjamÍn hernÁndez y el senador, en el video cruz acusa a los demÓcratas de utilizar la masacre de uvalde como pretexto para desarmar a los estadounidenses,s hernÁndez buscaba una respuesta clara de cruz sobre este tema pese a las protestass de las Última horas la asociaciÓn nacional de rifles continÚa su reuniÓn anual en houston esta vez marcada por la masacre de uvalde y el debate sobre el control

joining me now to talk more about that is south carolina senator lindsay graham. senator, it's great to see you. thanks for being here. >> thank you. maria: so what is the president talking about? we're in this incredible transition. so, in other words, these high prices for gasoline are intentional? >> yeah, i think that's the main takeaway from his statement, that he is telling the american people they're doing this to you on purpose, that the transition period is being imposed by policies coming from the biden administration. it's not putin's fault. this is a conscious effort by the biden administration to destroy fossil fuel production in the united states, to get away from fossil fuels, and you're living this experience. this is an irresponsible shutting down of oil and gas production in america making us more dependent on oil and gas from bad actors, and it's destroying the american economy. but the takeaway is what you said. this is being done on purpose. maria: this is the really extraordinary to me, and now -- >> yeah. maria: -- you're talking about food

i'm guessing, to lindsay graham, the saddest part of a funeral is when they run out of lemon bars. as usual, fox news was committed to not reporting the news and instead reporting spin the leaked draft into a win for democrats. >> this is a godsend for a lot of democratic candidates. >> democrats clearly using this for the midterms. they don't want to talk about inflation. they want to talk abortion. >> it's very curious to me that the democrats weren't talking about it until today. >> stephen: yeah, typically, people wait until something happens to talk about it. ( laughter ) nobody on the "titanic" was complaining about icebergs when they left the harbor. but, then about halfway through, it was, "iceberg dead ahead" this, and "never let go... glug, glug, glug" that. ( applause ) i don't know! one republican took a break from attacking the leaker to vilify women instead. i'm talking about florida republican and subway rider cheering on the masturbator, matt gaetz. in response to the nationwide protests, this morning, gaetz tweeted, "how many of the women rallying against overturni

and you're not going to get much more from people like lindsay graham. lindsey graham has been in washington for 27 years, and he still can't quite put his finger on this one. >> why do you think that this country is the only country in the world that constantly has mass shootings like this and elementary school shootings? >> yeah, well, we've had, you know -- one's too many. i don't have -- you know, i don't have the answers to all these -- i don't know why anybody would shoot their grandmother in their face, in her face, get in a car, and go to a school, and kill a bunch of kids. i don't know. that is beyond my ability to understand. >> jimmy: well then, maybe we need to get someone in the senate who does ha t understand. because you obviously aren't capable. [ cheers and applause ] of thinking this through, over and over and over again. here's the thing. i am not allowed to fish without a license. it shouldn't be easier to get an ar-15 than a rainbow trout. [ cheers and applause ] and some of the -- you know, there was a big primary election in georgi

john: republican senator lindsay graham of south carolina praised the news of the draft opinion. >> repealing roe v wade, in my opinion, is the right constitutional answer. i thought roe v wade was a constitutional overstep, so we'll be back into the business that we were before 1973 allowing each state to decide what to do. john: but republican senator lisa murkowski of alaska, an abortion rights supporter and key confirmation vote for recent conservative justices, lamented the report. >> if it goes in the direction that this leaked copy has indicated, i will just tell you that it rocks my confidence in the court right now. john while overturning roe could : well be the last word on the constitutional question, the front lines in the abortion battle would shift to the state legislatures. for the pbs newshour, i'm john yang. judy: for more on the impact, both inside the court and around the country, i'm joined by marcia coyle, chief washington correspondent for the national law journal. and mary ziegler, a florida state university law professor and author of "abortion and the law in america."
