the former candidate has lindsey graham that are supporting him. you could tell his popularity here. ambassodor nikki haley cannot command that. i think if she does well in iowa and new hampshire, i think she get trumped in south carolina. >> mentioned several lawmakers in south carolina. could senator tim scott gives her a boost now that he's out of the presidential race. could we see that play out in south carolina? >> probably not. a couple things. one, i don't tim scott will do it. he may be one of the vice president candidate. so that is terrible politics for him, one. i love tim. we get along very well. but he doesn't have the popularity of some of the other elected officials in south carolina. donald trump came in south carolina last year and secured all of these endorsements. he's been back. i don't think there is any hope. tim scott does a great player in south carolina politics. he will not be able to push the state in one direction or the other. it will be awful politicians on his part. >> there is something that we're seeing that is a l

that's lindsey.of a guy who says he's off the train on january the 6th. >> "i'm done." >> "i'm done with him." then he goes to reagan airport, and he's chased by, like, three people and a hound dog, and he suddenly starts sucking up to this guy again. i know you can't imagine doing that. i fear for anybody that was shouting and chasing you in reagan airport. but lindsey completely folds. i only bring him up so much because is that not a perfect example of the men in that conference that coward and sold their political souls for a failed reality tv host? >> certainly, it is. i mean, look, i think that you have to say that, you know, since senator mccain's passing, lindsey is having a hard time even putting on his own shoes. >> yeah. >> you know, i feel sorry for lindsey. i think the record is pretty clear about, you know, his understanding at one point. look, all of the republicans almost in the days just after january 6th understood what had happened. the republicans had a bill they proposed called t

senator and air force veteran lindsey graham joins us now.ing, merry christmas, thank you for joining us. >> after watching your show, i should leave new york. >> carley: crime is an issue. >> i was going to walk around. >> joey: if you leave, don't take chick-fil-a with you. >> carley: you mentioned crime being an issue in new york city, there are a lot of issues we could talk about, talk about what trey yingst was just mentioning, we're at 103 attacks and 21 international vessels have been attacked in the red sea. how did we get to the numbers? >> weakness, we are fighting the houthis, secretary austin and biden administration are failing our troops in the field. i admire him, he's a patriot, he is not doing a 2k3wd job protecting our soldiers. i asked him, is there a red line, would you tell the public, if they kill an american, we're coming after you? i've been saying for six months, hit iran. they have revolutionary guard headquarter you see from space, blow it off the map, make it real to the ayatollah. >> joey: i've watched you over th

. >> i spoke to lindsey graham, a spokesperson who was a huge supporter for ukraine who said point blank they will not get any money, neither will israel against -- unless congress agrees on border security and immigration reforms, there is a stalemate, thank you for that reporting. donald trump is calling president biden the destroyer of democracy but the biden camp is unfazed calling the job a distraction. >>> donald trump offers his most forceful rebuttal to presidents biden -- president biden's quote, he took a weakness and try to paint it as a problem for his adversary saying it's actually biden who threatens democracy. >> joe biden is the destroyer of american democracy. it's him and his people, if joe biden wants to make his race a question of which candidate will defend democracy and protect our freedoms, i say to kirk and joe, the most corrupt president we've ever had. we will win that fight and we will win a very big. biden's campaign is calling a desperate attempt at distraction. he will lock up his pillow look -- political enemies. trump has admitted to it himself. trump has

is joe biden's argument, chuck schumer's argument, i hear lindsey making the argument, i love lindseyi don't always agree request him, that if we don't give him $60 million, i'm sorry, $60 billion, russia will invade poland, this, that, nato, we'll have a world war. first of all i don't think 60 billion-dollars matters because it looks like a stalemate. you may disagree, it looks like -- i don't know what the extra money will do exactly and second of all the threat that russia will come down and invade all the nato countries that threat never need materialize if we had a strong tough president in the first place. >> this would never happen with president trump. i was with zelenskyy in kyiv three months before it happened. we could have stopped it, had we given them arms, at the border, don't come in. joe biden said it would be a small incursion. small incursion, half a million people have been killed. the problem with me, heard the same thing a lot of people, will keep going through europe. he can't take eastern ukraine, russia can't. what gives everybody the thought he will continue

lindsey graham doesn't understand that when tokyo and berlin were destroyed, the us and the world. so nothing but the entire world's cameras are focused on garza and the whole world is saying is i was genocide in real time directly. the shocking images cannot be forgotten. in other words, we killed a heck a lot of people then and they're doing good. now that the same got them criminals, big then and now. so i don't understand what's the fuss about the stability of the asia pacific region is a perfectly at risk. that's the challenge, beijing's level of washington, and offer to choose the u. s. navy ship of violating a sovereignty and entering the south china sea. the united states has deliberately violated showing his suffering, t and security, seriously undermine regional peace and stability and trampled on international law and the basic norms governing international relations. the united states has undermine stability and the south china sea. china has undisputed sovereignty over the islands of the south. china sea and surrounding waters. will be assigned to the incident has been

the problem is, though for example, lindsey graham, who i noticed talk to our kristen welker on meethe press. he just told me this week that he thinks that the border is a bigger issue, and more urgent need than ukraine's. you really can't find republicans in the senate who are more forthcoming about the need to continue funding, and supporting our ally, ukraine, then lindsey graham, and maybe mitch mcconnell. but for lindsey graham to say, that and say that there is no rush to getting this done now, they can wait until january, something i'm sure the white house is paying attention to. >> reporter: i'm sure, i, hope that they are right about that, given the strategic situation on the ground in ukraine. julie, thank you very, much as always. julie tsirkin, forest capitol hill. still ahead, the brutal war between israel and hamas is not yet effective neutral countries in the region. but with intensifying attacks from yemen, houthi rebels, that could all change. running this kitchen.

now the influential us republican senator lindsey graham says israel will have to accept the 2 state solution if it wants to normalize ties with saudi arabia speaking to nbc and use the storage critic of present to abide and praise. the administration's efforts to push for normalization deal to my friends and as will you do whatever you think is best for the state of visible i can tell you. sorry arabian other eric countries cannot normalize with this rule if they seen, if there hadn't been seen is the one the palestinians under the bus. we have 2 choices. continue this file or use october, so that is a catalyst for change. i think this the arrows are going to man some form of the 2 state solution, the recognize israel and think israel's gone demand security buffers different than before and they need to make those demands. i don't know how this ends, but i'll tell you this. if we don't get this right, this time we're talking about another generation of just tit for debt. the football show is professor of security and ministry studies on the, the institute for graduate studies and jo

as lindsey pointed out, this was a policy choice. this administration made a clear choice when they took office to completely abandon and do away with the policies of the previous administration that were working at our southern border. so much so now that you have even, you know, people like jay johnson who was the homeland security department secretary under president obama said at the time that 1,000 people a day would overwhelm the system and he could not even imagine what 4,000 a day would look like. well, now we are triple that. 10 to 12,000 people a day these last few days are just absolutely overwhelming our system and this is a huge national security crisis for our country, which republicans are, as i said, dead set on solving. and we have put forward proposals that are meaningful and real and serious, and at getting at our border crisis. so far democrats have resisted. this president and democrats here in the senate have to get serious about fixing this or not only are we going to continue to face a major crisis, a national

that doesn't make sense. >> despite what lindsey graham is saying, is the threat of working through holidays still the best leverage for senate majority leader chuck schumer? >> yeah. i asked a number of senate republicans on what they thought of leader schumer's timeline. a lot of them were very skeptical. i think we saw john cornyn say they're not going to vote on a framework, which is what's being worked out now. we're going to see what happens this weekend where senate negotiators are still trying to strike a deal to get the ukraine funding and the board issues solved. a lot of people are really hesitant and skeptical of this timeline, but we'll see. obviously if it's pushed out to january, it's going to make funding even more difficult. >> what are the problems with tying border concerns to the aid package for ukraine and israel? >> i think that's the leverage they have. they want to use that leverage. ukraine funding has been increasingly unpopular with the republican base. the republican base is not the reaganite republican base that it once was. so president biden, who in pa

and senator lindsey graham is replying, well, with a warning of his own. >> i think a continuation ofdency would be a disaster for peace and prosperity at home and abroad. liz's hatred of trump is real. i understand why people don't like what he does and says at times, but, in terms of actions and results, he was far better president than biden. if we have four more years of this, liz cheney then we won't recognize america and the world will be truly on fire. >> fox news chint contributor and columnist for the messenger jojoe concha joins us now. good morning to you. two very different messages coming from the republican party. weigh in on n this divide for u. >> well, i think senator graham is 100 percent correct, carley. liz cheney who is ousted from congress last year by a decisive margin is just looking to sell books at this point and to be sure other media outlets as we have seen will give her ample air time to do so. she is a 2023 version of michael avenatti. let's look at the world under the trump administration using facts. the u.s. was not engulfed in two proxy wars in the mi

this kind of lindsey graham just last night said he's not going to send a dime to ukraine into the prison. united states resolves the security issue on the bottom of the southern border. the united states has with mexico, so that means there will be no money for your credit. it's all it's, i mean there's some dying left, a lot of dying left. a lot of funding left off off and remind people from the american perspective in world war 2, the fight against not really the most bloody month was april 1945 when the war was over. but that last month, the germans fought very hard and they killed more americans that month. they did, did in any other month. this war is over with you, craig, but there's still a lot of funding left. and that means is going to be a lot of tragedy, but there's, there's nothing united states to do to reverse the trajectory that the ukrainian military's on today. yeah, well, very well side in d. so we know is a recent poll done in the usa with less than 50 percent of people want to continue supplying aid to claim, but we'll see how that pans out in the next few weeks for u
