• 0:13
  Speaker 2: Lindy grab everybody allows us to talk about the bretat.

• 0:21
  Speaker 1: uh Stuart in South Carolina. Stuart, how you doing?
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: Hey? Mark?
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: How are you?
• 0:26
  Speaker 4: I just want to say, Lindsey Graham was my senator. Uh,
• 0:30
  Speaker 4: there are times that we were so furious with him.
• 0:33
  Speaker 4: We tried to get rid of him often, and there
• 0:37
  Speaker 4: were times that we want him. I mean the days
• 0:40
  Speaker 4: that he was good friends with John McCain were not
• 0:43
  Speaker 4: good days here with him. But you know it's Uh,
• 0:46
  Speaker 4: the vitriol that I've seen online about him has just
• 0:50
  Speaker 4: been unbelievable. I mean, people have done.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: Democrats, Democrats pretty pretty tasteless about Lindsey Graham online.
• 0:58
  Speaker 4: Oh it was awful. And there looks they were talking
• 1:01
  Speaker 4: about Joe Wilson, who is I think kind of like
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: Joe Biden right now. You know, he's a Republican, but
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: he's he's kind of out of it. And they're talking
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: about Nancy Mays who ran for governor here and lost
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: so she's going to be out of Congress soon, so
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: they're talking about her replacing him, which I wouldn't mind.
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: She's she's done some pretty good things. But yeah, it
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: was quite a shock. You know, I've met him, I
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: didn't know him, but uh, yeah, it's it's uh, it's
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: quite a loss for South Carolina. Kim Scott is now
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: senior senior.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: That's right. Yeah, so he's now the senior cenator. But
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: all right, Stuart, great call, thanks for calling. Let's try.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: Let's Jay is back. Jay in New Jersey. How you doing?
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Mark?
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: Sorry, but I people love to talk about Lindsey Graham's
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: moment with Brett Kavanaugh. You know that was that was
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: when he set up for him and all the Democrats
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: were trying to destroy him. But I think people forget
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: that Lindsey Graham voted for every liberal judge that came
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: his way. He voted for keg inside my ear and
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: every left its judge below. So I think that that's
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: not a legacy. If if anything, that's kind of you know,
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: where we should not talk about.
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, listen, he uh spent a lot of time on
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: the left side of things, then moved to the right
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: side of things. You know, they say it's it's not
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: where you start, it's where you finish. But he was
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: like McCain. He could go either way, and that's why
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: they called him a maverick. But that's you know, that's okay.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: He was still a great guy and he did a
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: lot of good things. But let's go to uh Mark
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: and Hawthorne Mark, how you doing? Hey, how are you good?
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: You misspoke before when you said that he couldn't be
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: president because he wasn't born here. Have to be a
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: natural born citizen or neck?
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: Yes, why are you the only one that couldn't figure
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: out what I was saying? He wasn't born here. He
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: can't run for president anyway, Thanks for calling uh yeah,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: mom down, he wasn't born in the US, can't be president.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Let's go to uh Rich in Myrtle Beach. Rich. How
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: you doing?
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah? Thanks, walk y'all. Lindsay Graham was a swamp. He
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: was part of the Gang of eight who wanted the
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: amnesty for who knows how many millions of legals. He
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: really blew whichever way the polls blew. He didn't really
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: help us down here South Carolina with the gas prices,
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: you know, with the oil and all that kind of stuff,
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: and he really was, you know, and now they're talking
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: about you know, Agains Pam Evertt, who's from Ohio originally
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: who ran for governor and the primary and I lost that,
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: So I'm I'm a grace person. Also, I think she'd
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: be pretty good down here. But Lindsey Graham, you know,
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: you know, unless he was fighting for a Republican judge
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: on TV, he did really nothing. The office has never
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: returned phone calls. He pretty much blew with the wind
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: and just faced whatever polls would make him look good.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: You know, yeah, I forgot. We have a lot of
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: listeners in South Carolina. So you guys now origin from
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: New York.
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: So you guys down there, My parents have been here
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: since eighty five.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: You guys in South Carolina went too thrilled to them.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: But you like your governor McMaster.
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: Right, He's okay, and now the big pressures on him,
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: some people accuse him of being kind of middle of
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: the road. Now in South Carolina, the governor does not
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: have when he the two things going to happen. Number One,
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: he gets to a point the tempway person which does
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: not have to be of the same party that the
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: senator who just left has to be so he could
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: appoint a Democrat.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: Could be a disaster.
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: That's like that. But now we're gonna have a special
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: election and a primary. We're actually gonna have a primary,
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: so nobody's going to be anointed, and that's going to
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: start in August, and then they're gonna have the election.
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: I think they start the primary the end of July
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: or the beginning of August, and by the end of
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: August we'll have somebody who's actually gonna win that seat
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: and have a special election. Then in November that person
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: has to go against a Democratic nominee.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it'll work out for You'll do all right down there.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: Thanks for Colin. Well, let's go to Vincent and Brooklyn. Vincent,
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: how you doing.
• 4:48
  Speaker 5: Good morning, Mark, Good morning, Mara. Mark. I'd like to
• 4:51
  Speaker 5: offer my condolences to Lindsey Graham's sister and his niece.
• 4:56
  Speaker 5: In Apparently last night they were talking about Lindsey Graham
• 5:00
  Speaker 5: family wise, with his sister and his niece, was a
• 5:02
  Speaker 5: real stand up guy that when his parents died, he
• 5:06
  Speaker 5: took it upon himself to help raise his sister and
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: take care of that. That to me, aside from the politics,
• 5:14
  Speaker 5: that to me is the measure of a man. You know,
• 5:18
  Speaker 5: he did the right thing with his family. And I hope,
• 5:22
  Speaker 5: as Rich from South Carolina said, I hope the governor
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: down there picks a person who was for the America
• 5:31
  Speaker 5: First Trump agenda and not some wobbly rhino or god forbid,
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: some Democrat. And I hope we get a good pool,
• 5:40
  Speaker 5: as Rich said, of applicants for the Republican primary, and
• 5:45
  Speaker 5: that they stick with the Trump's America First agenda. As
• 5:50
  Speaker 5: a side note, on the Parkway yesterday and coming home

  Speaker 5: from the shore, gas was four point forty nine on

• 6:14
  Speaker 5: in the country it's it's it's even less, and like
• 6:18
  Speaker 5: Arkansas and places like that, Oklahoma, it's even less. But
• 6:23
  Speaker 5: I just I'd never gass up on the Parkway, so
• 6:28
  Speaker 5: I'm not worried about I don't gans up on the Parkway.
