that is not donald trump's view and he disagrees with lindsay graham on this. no reasonable republican is saying that we should have a complete national abortion plan, and i shouldn't heard that from my colleagues and donald trump has staked his position and made it very explicit, he wants this to be a state decision and the states will make the determination themselves. >> the census bureau estimates there are 22 million women between the ages of 20 and 40 who for whatever reason do not have children. what do you say to those women who hear some of those comments including childless cat lady comments that you've been asked about, who feel that you won't represent them? >> i will represent them. i want to be the vice president for the whole country and i want to represent everybody. yes, i made a sarcastic comment that democrats have willfully misinterpreted. it's a profound change that's happened in our country where we've become anti-family and i would like to change that. if you talk to young woman or don't want to have children, what you consistently hear i

republican senator lindsay graham joins me next. one thing we know is true: no matter race, gender, ethnicity... the need to screen when due... for colon cancer's a priority. indeed! everyone 45+ at average risk should screen for colon cancer. these folks are getting it done at home with me, cologuard. cologuard is a one-of-a-kind way to screen for colon cancer that's effective and non-invasive. it's for people 45+ at average risk, not high risk. false positive and negative results may occur. ask your provider for cologuard. i did it my way. (vo) when the internet said “red lobster's going away...” ask your provider for cologuard. your boy, flavor flav, said “not today!” crabfest is here, boy. and they got two flavors: roasted garlic and new cajun butter. when you gotta have seafood, you gotta have red lobster. >> at university of maryland global campus, getting a bachelor's degree doesn't have to mean starting from scratch. here you can earn up to 90 undergraduate credits for relevant experience. what will your next success be? ♪ f

joining me now is trump ally republican senator lindsay graham of south carolina.enator graham, welcome back to "meet the press." >> thank you. thank you. >> well, thank you for being here. let's start with some of the concerns that former president trump's allies have had about him not staying on message in the way that he is talking about his new rival vice president kamala harris. here's what nikki haley had to say about that. take a look. >> the campaign is not going to win talking about crowd sizes. it's not going to win talking about what race kamala harris is. it's not going to win talking about whether she's dumb. it's not -- you can't win on those things. i think the campaign needs to focus. that's the main thing. look, this is a winnable election, but you need to focus. >> senator, do you agree with nikki haley's assessment? >> yeah. i don't think -- i don't look at vice president harris as a lunatic, i look at her as -- in the united states. she's going to the soviet union playbook to lower prices called price control. she wants to eliminate healthcare a

destroy, now he speaks out that it is necessary to support ukraine, this is a unique chance, lindsay grahamear, patented, it means that they have problems, well, yes, to the fact that they really are not the figures there now who joyfully declare that we must support, but there are cautious and more than cautious and skeptical statements, that reaction of the american press, it basically continues now, and what next, yes, and how long will ukraine hold this territory, even such patented russophobes as juliana röbke, yes, well, they say, well, okay, yes, there is a certain success, but what kind of? yes, what next, what will ukraine do, what, at what price will it be able to gain a foothold there, at least for a while, here the experts really have many more questions than the politicians, in this sense it is necessary to understand, when we now, i draw attention to the opinion published today in the newspaper meilon sandy peter hicchenz, who says, wait, you are happy there, you are jubilant, but this is a victory for russia, this is like a trump card for the russian... in my opinion, in febr

hitting this again on "meet the press." >> i've been talking to republicans including senator lindsay grahamek who made it very clear that if donald trump is elected and you are elected they will continue to press this point. senator graham said to me, i'm going to keep saying that there should be a federal ban. if such a piece of legislation landed on donald trump's desk, would he veto it? >> i would be very clear. he would not support it. >> would he veto it? >> if you're not supporting it, you fundamentally have to veto it. >> would he veto an abortion ban? >> think he said explicitly that he would. >> project 2025 with the department of health and human services the department of life explicitly resdwrekting the notion that abortion is health care and the existence of the comstock act which trump could use to ban abortions nationwide without the need for congressional action and trump's previously bragging about terminating roe v. wade, we don't believe you all. that is except for the national review which posted this very sad article over the weekend including their godhead of abandonin

remind you how in april they cancelled, cancelled the block on the supply of aid to ukraine, lindsay grahamked to him, he came right out and said " so, we understand what the germans are saying, although sometimes it is also required, which means, to decipher what they want to present, an interesting situation, of course, the german prosecutor's office issued an arrest warrant for a ukrainian diver suspected of involvement in the terrorist attacks on the nord streams, the most interesting thing is that the case file includes the name of a certain ukrainian named vladimir z. almost 2 years after the explosions on the nord stream gas pipelines, general. prosecutor jens romel received the first arrest warrant for a suspect, this is a ukrainian vladimir, who recently visited poland. it is reported that the ukrainian recently went into hiding, it is unclear whether he has returned to ukraine now. during a short telephone conversation on tuesday, vladimir was surprised by the accusation. he denied any involvement in the attacks on nord stream. according to the investigation, two more ukrainian ci

with putting fingers there and so on, i even remember the papers, they remember what he said lindsay grahamamerica, and he is a classic lobbyist for ukrainian interests for money, it is legalized, although he is a republican, he works well for the money that the president's office pays, i looked in, they allowed me to look at the ukrainian plan of attack, it is brilliant, it will be devastating, you will see, the end of the russians, the end of the russians, what happened then, a pfft from ours, we look at the border comprehensively, and they do not see the ocheretin flower, which blossoms with new branches every day, just today two more villages were taken and two more were completely cleared out, they don't see it, they don't know, they don't know in the news that it turns out that during this week of this counteroffensive in kursk more than 2.0 soldiers were destroyed, practically a brigade there, more than 30 tanks, there every day they just take out equipment as if in one wicket, can you imagine, they brought it in there in trains. and for the west, look at the picture in the west now,

that uh, that should be an option, even in the us, some of these extreme us congressmen like lindsay graham have suggested that, but in the bigger picture, the confrontation in terms of the retaliation coming from iran and some of the resistance groups may prompt the israel regime to maybe contemplate u use of nuclear weapons, do you think that that is a possibility here? well, yes, there are at least two us congressmen talking about um, the idea of using nuclear weapons on gaza, and that should be alarming, really, it should be a criminal um, a criminal incitement, you would think, but they get away with this sort of thing in the us arena. of course, your initial story was about the us using weapons of mass destruction, let's not forget korea, the war in... they use bacteriological weapons there, they use chemical weapons there and in in vietnam also all of those nuclear biological chemical weapons, they've accused other states of doing this, but basically speaking the it's the us regime that has been the worst offender in the world using these weapons and of course when we talk about hiro

republican lindsay graham on "meet the press" urging him to focus on policy. >> if you have a policyebate for president, he wins. donald trump the provocateur, the show man may not win this election. >> aaron joins us from pittsburgh. aaron, pennsylvania is not the only battleground state getting attention this week. >> reporter: you're right, hallie. harris will do some campaigning in the next door state of wisconsin, another battle ground state. at the same time former president trump will be on the trail as well in michigan trying to draw some attention away from the democratic convention. hallie? >> aaron, thank you. >>> president biden for his part is fine-tuning his keynote speech for the opening night at the dnc. monica alba walks us through it. mon, walk us through it. >> reporter: just a month ago this convention hall was supposed to be president biden's big stage for the week and tomorrow night shows how dramatically everything has changed since he left the race. the evening is meant in part to be a tribute to the president's leadership with first lady jill biden speaking a

you a, lindsey graham says crazy things because lindsay graham is out of his mind. he is more than willing to have ukraine spike until the last ukrainian dies. yeah, he's more than happy to do that. he's appealing to retired f. 16 pilots. when he didn't say was, if you have a death wish, if you are suicidal, they will hire you here because these are the top line f sixteens. these are antiquated, f, 16. all these planes are, are targets or in fact i'll be surprised. how many of these actually wind up leaving the brown? because it will not surprise me if russia wants to blow in these things up before they even leave, leave the ground. and then there are just some very practical things about f sixteens the way the engines hang low. the pris team run ways that they need. yeah, there are a number of things that make this whole thing absolutely nonsensical. it's a dog and pony show with no dogs and coney. well, unfortunately, we have given them the f sixteens are not us, but essentially asked cuz it came from other countries. they are using them in some capacity. we canno

but then this is also being viewed as the last salvo by joe biden, who, along with lindsay graham back in 20141 long, the cool cookers in ukraine. so as the sun sets on the bite and administration, he and that era of cohorts are sort of grasping at ways to salvage this decades old design by just trying to throw some old pilots into the cockpit for keep. yeah, it's such a, it's such a bizarre request ask, as you said, the 50 year old retirees to go travel to ukraine and to get into these planes and basically go to your desk. because again, this is not something where russia has been, has been pushing to take more ground. they're not if i don't know what's happening there. but it certainly appears as if russia is, is, is giving time to finally get to a piece agreement. but it all remains to be seen what happens with the election. obviously that's a big part of what this looks like and what it looks like going forward. another chance. thank you so much. all right, we're going to go for a quick break, but when we come back, we're going to dive into these massive protests taking place in se

creating a us working group, according to a joint statement by us senators richard blumenthal and lindsay grahamlso said that ukraine is rich in significant amounts of lithium, titanium and other rare earth minerals that the american people need. now, the final word, please. now, yes, now the west cannot be trusted, this will not be possible for a long period of time. well, the world is moving towards multipolarity. we are not interested in their destruction, we do not want this, we want to live in an equal world, completely calmly, trade and develop. we can very well build new relations in a new multipolar world, because... the soviet union. thank you very much, respected participants of today's discussion, i will conclude it with this emphasis, peace between the two states - it is always a compromise. they can afford it when the desire to ensure their interests outweighs the desire to harm their neighbor, but for the zelensky regime and its western sponsors, such logic does not work, for them ukraine is not an intrinsic value, but only an instrument for harming russia, therefore moscow can ach

lindsay graham came on earlier this week and said something like the secret service are make note it in the secret service member on steroids and the stupidest problem i've heard. in the military, this is not the decdisparage the secret service, it's not if you were negligent or if you acted wrongly with intent. the fact is tevin you think you did everything correctly and there was a failure of this level, you're relieved of your command and there's accountability that should happen immediately. any unit i've been in, if a marine gets out of a truck and leaves his rifle and gets back in the truck and convoy takes off, that marine left his rifle in trouble is and the lieutenant in charge of that convoy is in trouble with no idea. to date the only person held accountable was cheatle shamed into resigning. i don't know that the current director shouldn't be shamed into resigned and at the end of the day, the buck stops with someone and you have to show accountability for the culture of the organization to understand that your mistakes could cost someone else their career as well. will:

you're more the south carolina governor lindsay graham looks like israel's fighting a 3 front war again with the president and vice president constantly calling for israel to show restraint rather than giving them the go-ahead to win their war against radical islamic terrorism and we have a presidential soon-to-be nominee for the democratic party that wants us to be courageous and no longer use the words radical islamic terrorism i have a hard time understanding that. >> bottom line is designed to bend the knee to his own they want to kill the jews and change your way of life. i introduce legislation to change the policy of the united states and here's the policy of trying to implement. no longer should be key than sitter them different from iran i said today and to attack by them against the state of israel should be considered an attack by iran is a state attack against israel there is no hamas or other similar organizations without iran supplied weapons if there is an attack by iran like that i am calling tonight for israel to destroy the oil refineries that feel them. if you hit the

senator lindsay graham is here.ator, rough day in the market and rough day overseas in the middle east. what's happening here? >> well, the worst is yet to come unfortunately. well, they're reaping what they've sown for the last four years. on the inflation side, supply and demand, kamala. if you restrict american oil and gas drilling, offshore and on shore, you do away with the keystone pipeline, you produce less oil and gas you're going to have higher prices. when you overregulate the economy, it's hard to create jobs. when you flood the economy from washington with money that doesn't create jobs, you create inflation. so what's happening in the mideast is when we withdrew from afghanistan, it sent every jihadist radical islamic terrorist on steroids. then we gave the ayatollah $80 billion of money and oil by relieving sanctions, so those two things have led to an empowered iran, who is wreaking havoc on the mideast. at home, the broken border and inflation and spending policies have come home to roost, and august

creating a us working group, according to a joint statement by us senators richard blumenthal and lindsay graham us senators also stated that ukraine is rich in a significant amount lithium, titanium and other rare earth minerals that the american economy needs. and the agreement with ukraine in this area made. the us less dependent on foreign competitors, that's the truth of life, for which all this was actually started. john, please, we are summing up today's program. the final word from your lips, please. the most important thing, reality, the consolidation of the people, unity, this is the most important thing, to send a signal to washington and london, so that they understand that this can't be done with you anymore, and maybe they temporarily will stop, but again, unfortunately. this is only if there is a truce, it will only be temporary, then in 5 years, in 10, in 20, they will once again feed on your unity and strength, this is important now and forever, they will no longer trust the west, never, they will no longer trust the west. john, i am incredibly grateful to you for your courage,

they are in panic now, you remember, the first days of this euphoria, that, as you remember, lindsay grahamis johnson comes out, how boldly, how great, we are on the territory of russia support, strike deep into russia and so on, now i read western newspapers, listen, the rhetoric has changed, all this bravado has disappeared, they really hoped that we would transfer all our... main forces from donbass there to the kursk region, now they are shouting, wait, why was it necessary to film, today in the times newspaper there was an article where they are trying to analyze how rapidly russia is advancing, the russian army, that is, under pokrovsk, krasnoarmeysk, the russians are fighting like tigers, these are words ukrainian militant, whom they interviewed there, in an interview with a militant, mind you, who fought, in particular under... in kursk, he was talking about the kursk operation, i'll say something about pokrov separately now, so they talk about how they already had a shell shortage in the kursk region, he's already talking about how in the detachment there they really were advancing

informed, even the delegation of american senators that arrived in kiev also adhered to this line, lindsay graham in the register of terrorists and extremists , also said: "it's good that you did not inform us." further, further, apparently, zelensky turned to his curators and said: "wait, but we agreed on this operation, you blessed it, you armed it, financed, something is not going right in your independent media, because this is not how the broadcast of what is happening should be, and i think that he was promised to tweak the independent media a little bit and give a different broadcast of events, but this is not actually happening, that we... as a result of reflection or the situation come to the conclusion that there are two possible scenarios for the development of events, there is no third either. i want to say that there is no dilemma here from either a practical or a philosophical point of view. the enemy in torks on the territory russia, it must be destroyed, not squeezed out, not something else, it must simply be destroyed. therefore , the west has not created any dilemma for the head

who... in the list of extremists and terrorists, it is obvious that it is not for nothing that lindsay graham called everything that is happening now in the kursk region, bold and beautiful. quote. american media, meanwhile, compete in their blasphemous articles about the actions of the ukrainian armed forces, they publish photographs literally from russian territory, showing all those atrocities, which the ukrainians commit, while quoting them about how wonderful it is for them to ride tanks on russian soil. at the same time, questions arise for american journalists, who apparently also illegally entered russian territory to film all this, and in this alternative reality, more and more new measures of support for ukraine are now being sold to american society, including on issues of atakoms. as for formal permission, it is most likely worth expecting, because the american administration has already reviewed its position on the allocation. of certain types of weapons or on permission to use them, this will obviously be a completely formal step, because now kiev has practically a free hand in

a great investment, since the us is beating russia, without losing a single soldier, the same lindsay grahamvery interested in the ukrainian subsoil, estimated by the senator at 13 trillion dollars, which, as you understand, he is laying claim to, that is, the americans do not even hide that they are achieving success with someone else's hands, well, look how zelensky met the american senators, smiled, shook hands, applauded, fawned, at a meeting from zelensky, graham ordered to continue the terrorist attack in the kursk region, called on the american military and pilots who retired to return service to pilot f16 in ukraine. too bad john mccain died, he, as a former military pilot, could have taken the controls himself to shake off the old days, and... what i think about kursk, bold, brilliant, beautiful. keep up the good work. putin started it. i want to say to the administration, i appreciate your support, let the people fight, give them the weapons they need to win a war they can't afford to lose. how are you? welcome! mr. president, thank you very much, very happy to be with you, thank y

elizabeth warren and lindsay graham have almost nothing in common. i promised her that i would say that. the only thing worse than me doing a bill with elizabeth warren as her doing a bill with me. we have sort of parked that. elizabeth and i see antabuse here that needs to be dealt with senator durbin and i have different political philosophies buddy appreciate what you've done. you've been a great partner with all of my democratic policies. thank you all very, very much. save the applause for when we get a result. this is all talk right now. there will come a day when if we keep pressing. what does that answer, accountability. these products have an upside. mr. zuckerberg, you created product values. the idea i think when you first came of this, be able to talk to your friends and family and be able to pass on your life. be at the place where you can talk to your friends and family about good things going on in life. i use it. we all use it. there is an upside to everything here. but the dark side has not been dealt with. it is now time to deal wit

graham thing, which is very funny. i was just looking got a chart before the show and lindsay grams, 12 trillion dollars worth of minerals over half of them are located in the 4 provinces that are already part of russia. so good luck with that. have mr. graham, mrs. graham. well, i mean that mcdaniel but this is also all part of a paradigm that we've seen since the end of the cold war, the under the soviet union. now it's the end of russia. this is, this has been their mindset all along. let me throw it to richard here. i mean, if you, if you look at the, how joe biden soiled, the normandy, come member ration, apparently he sold it in more than one way. all of that are viewers the decide on that. but you mean, you know, when he's a cheering on the death of a russian soldiers, a 100, at an event where the united states and the soviet union were allies. and in an event where the allies could have only invaded normandy, because of the soviet advances on the eastern front. i mean, the, from the russian side, you know, is like been a poll napoleon, the germans denazi's, and now we have nato. it's all part of the same, seamles
