Back and thats the Fox NEWS
app,
I will get the real one too
thats, not a bad one right
lets bring in another guy that
needs no app and needs no
introduction,
Senator G Dot, Op Senator Lindsey,
Graham Chairman of the Senate
Judiciary Committee,
Senator thank you so much for
joining us this morning.
I know its a busy day for us.
You are out on the trail.
I got a bus.
I got a bus.
Pete got your face on it too.
Only in America can this
happen.
Pete I love it.
I want to hear what you are
hearing from voters.
We hear a lot about fear.
We hear a lot about doom and
gloom
when I was at the Trump rally
last night and you have been to
a bunch of them. It was all about
love and patriotism and
celebration
whats. The mood you are seeing
from voters
well im in Florence, South
Carolina.
Thank you for having me on.
I hear a combination of fear and
excitement.
If we lose the house, the Senate
and the White House, people are
scared to death that we lose the
country that we grew up
in. They are going to pack. The
Supreme Court make it full of
liberals nine to some other
number
do away with the legislative
filibuster. So everything coming
out of the house goes to the
Senate.
They will change the electoral
College because New York and
California will begin picking
the President and South Carolina
will be left out.
They goal to open borders, not
secure borders,
have illegal immigrants, free
healthcare,
they have four and a half trillion
dollars. Tax increase to destroy
our economy,
thats the downside,
heres, the good side,
four more years of Donald Trump
means four more years of
conservative judges,
four more years of the tax code
being in the hands of people who
understand how to run a
business
four more years of a
commander in chief who knows
what the hell he is doing, so
people are afraid and theyre
excited.
Will senator lets take a look
at the balance of power right
now in the Senate,
its of course. Fifty three Republicans,
forty seven Democrats.
The house two hundred and thirty two Democrats, one hundred and ninety seven
Republicans.
Now you are in a tight race in
South Carolina against Jamie
Harrison.
It has been marked as a toss up
if the Senate goes to the
Democrats, and perhaps the
presidency as well, you named a
ton of issues right there that
can be expected.
Senator Kamala Harris has said
issue number one priority
doing away with tax cuts.
What do you think packing the
court?
What is the first thing they do?
Well, I think they do awaway
with the tax cuts.
The economy is growing at thirty three percent. If
you want to throw a wet blanket
on this covid, then what
you will have a Supreme court
full of liberals.
They will change the number from
nine to thirteen or restructure the court
to make it liberal.
They are going to do away with
the legislative filibuster.
They will make d dot c a state with
the same standing as South
Carolina.
The most important thing is
everything President Trump has
done to secure our border work
with Mexico. They are going to
undo.
They have illegal immigrants,
free healthcare.
Half the world will be here.
They will get back into the
iranian Nuclear agreement, which
is a disaster for us and Israel
other than those few things it
wont matter.
We are not going to let that
happen.
We are going to win.
We are going to keep the Senate.
My opponent is raising
one hundred and thirty dollars billion from every liberal
in the country who hates my guts,
because I stood up for Judge Kavanaugh.
I got Judge Barrett through the
Judiciary Committee.
I need your help. Lindsey. We are
going to keep the Senate and
give President Trump four more
years and change the country
infantry. In a way you will be
proud of
thats whats at stake:
Lindsey, Graham dot com
PETE. Definitely the amount of
spending in the state of South
Carolina has been unprecedented,
but speaking of spending from
foreign countries,
we have learned a lot about
Hunter Biden and his associates
and Joe Biden after what
happened in two thousand and sixteen senator to
the president, and there were
calls for accountability for
what happened to him. Do we
believe there will ever be any
accountability for Hunter Biden,
regardless of the result here?
So in two thousand and twenty we live in an
America with a free press, thats,
irresponsible, biased press
free requires responsibility.
Can you imagine if this story
was about a Trump family member
going around the world with a
vacuum cleaner, raking in money
to have influence with President
Trump?
It would be front page news
everywhere.
His associates trading off Joe
Bidens name vice president
making millions of dollars all
over the world, which I think
would compromise a Biden
presidency and nobody gives a
damn about it.
You cant find it anywhere in
the mainstream news.
This is a conspiracy to shut
down one of the biggest
influence peddling schemes in
the history of the United
States,
and it just breaks my heart that
the media has fallen this low.
They are so in the tank for Joe
Biden that they will ignore a
story that should not be ignored
and if a Republican were doing
this, it would be front page
news. But let me tell you what
there is other ways to get your
news regarding other than the
mainstream media, like Fox like
the internet,
this story is going to resonate,
it is corruption, run amuck
and its going to matter come
Tuesday,
Jedediah Senator not to
interrupt.
I wanted to ask you, though,
because you are mentioning there
is other ways to make news and
the larger story here became
about big tech and information,
suppression and people feeling
like Twitter and Facebook, and
these places they go to is just
supposed to be a hub of
impartial information and now,
suddenly things are being shut
down and people are being
treated like children
essentially being told. Oh, you
dont need to read that over
there. How much of an issue is
that in this election, and is
that really on voters minds as
they head into the voting booth?
It should be,
I think, its the biggest threat
to conservatism is the social
media companies. Censoring
information that conservatives
put out
the New York Post is fourth
largest paper in the world.
Listen to this,
the Department of Homeland
Security sent out a tweet about
walls will protect the country
from gangs and drugs and child
trafficking.
They censored his tweet,
but they allow the Ayatollah,
under the theory of Saber rat
ling, talking about destroying
the state of Israel
in Twitters World DHS is more
harmful to the world than the
Ayatollah of IRAN.
This is ridiculous.
This censorship has got to come
to an end
and how do you bring it to an
end,
eliminate section two hundred and thirty? So you can
sue these people if they
suppress your content.
Take their liability protections
away.
They are the only people in
America, you cant sue when they
wrong you and that is going to
change.
Jedediah, Senator Graham thanks
for joining us today,
tough race, ahead,
exciting few days.
We look forward to watching.
