james graham wilson: absolutely. one thing that was not clear at the time about president bush and i have learned to appreciate is that in his role as vice president of the two terms, he was in charge of something called basically crisis management group and he was often presented with scenarios of things that might go bad, bad scenarios, could be in the future. a lot of times one of the fears among u.s. planners was what would happen if there were a kind of quick collapse of soviet power. what would happen? how would they respond? and the expectation always was, before gorbachev, that there would be a very harsh reaction from the kremlin. you look at bush on the night of november 9, 1989, you see somebody who was very, very cautious about saying anything. even with his body language, that might be interpreted in the images and broadcast to the soviet union as hostile. i did it was very unfair the way -- i think it was very unfair the way he was portrayed on the floor of the house the next day, criticizing the presid

. >> thank you, governor. [ applause ] senator graham? >> number one, i will win a war that we can't afford to lose. i have a plan to destroy radical islam because it has to be. these are religious nazis running while president obama has made one mistake after another and it's caught up with us. what i have to offer that's different? i get my foreign policy from being on the ground. i've been to iraq and afghanistan 35 times in the last decade trying to understand how we got in this mess. our leading candidate gets his foreign policy from watching television. and what i heard last night is the cartoon network, oh, i'm big, i'm strong, we're going to hit them in the head. that's not foreign policy. that's a cartoon character. john kasich, a good friend of mine, said in new hampshire, we're going to close more bases on his watch. on my watch, we're going to open more bases. the military is in decline, folks. we're going to have the smallest military in modern times, spending half of what we'd normally spend by the end of this decade. >> tha

defense is a favorite topic of senator graham's. he spent six years on active duty as an air force attorney. he served more than a quarter century in the air force reserves, retiring as a colonel. he's been a strong voice in his caucus on foreign policy during his eight years in the house of representatives and 13 years in the senate. while his presidential campaign has yet to catch fire in the polls, senator graham has stood out for his criticisms of g.o.p. frontrunner donald trump. he's called trump, quote, a fraud, and said his plan to combat isis is, quote, insanely dangerous. and those were some of the tamer comments he made. [laughter] >> trump, for his part, announced graham's cell phone number on national television. long before life in politics, graham grew up in a one-room apartment behind his parent's liquor store. when both of his parents died at a young age, he became the head of the family at 21, legally adopting his 13-year-old sister. he earned undergraduate and law degrees from the university of south carolina and h

lindsey graham: if they wanted one. as a told you, i would try to have leverage to get a better deal, starting with denying access to american financial institutions. i would wait until the phone rings. it would. $450 billion economy versus a $17 trillion economy. how do you isolate us? that kind of thinking led to this bad deal. as to a war with iran. nobody wants it. if there is one, i can tell you how it ends. we went, they lose. in the process of trying to get a better deal, i would give them what they claimed they wanted, a peaceful nuclear power program. canada and mexico have power plants that they don't and rich. how many of you think they have been trying to build a nuclear weapons program and not a car plant? plant.r they are trying to build a nuclear power plant, you shouldn't be unable -- you shouldn't be allowed to drive home. [laughter] these people are lying. i would take their ambitions and curtail them so they can build a power plant, but not the ability to make a bomb. i would have a list of all the pe

senator cruz, rubio, jeb bush, a lot of others, graham. all support amnesty at some point in time or another. this is really the interesting thing about this whole debate. this debate should not be about what we're going to do with someone here illegally. this debate should be about what every other debate on every other policy issue is in america. what's in the best interest of hard-working americans? what's in the best interest of our country? we had a focus because the other side set up here is who we have to be concerned about. someone who is here illegally and their family and what will we do about them? a great leader will see that the objective of every law in america is to do what's in the best interest of america. what's in the best interest of america right now is this look at wages, look at employment among wage earners. 70 to 90% of people that have come in this country are wage earnings holding wages down, taking jobs away from america. >> your time is up. i want to get the governor to respond. >> i want to make clear everybod

you see hannah graham coming in from the lower left. she's highlighted. >> she seems a little unsteady on her feet both here and later on in the video. >> reporter: then she's seen on camera at the charlottesville downtown mall. surveillance tape also capture a man walking in the foreground. >> you'll notice he's a pretty distinctive looking guy. >> reporter: he is 32-year-old jesse leroy matthew, jr. in the last video hannah and matthew are seen walking together. a predator prosecutors say with his victim. 35 days after she disappeared, hannah graham's remains were found. matthew stands charged with her murder. hannah graham wasn't the first young woman in the area to go missing or to be attacked. >> we are part of a club. we're part of an ugly little club. >> reporter: jill harrington's 20-year-old daughter morgan was abducted and murdered in 2009 and just last week a bombshell. jesse matthew also was charged with the murder of morgan harrington. >> it's been six years to try and find a person who we believe killed our beloved daughte

graham would prescreen men based on their intellectual pedigree.proved, a donor sheet listing their iq and academic accomplishments would be mailed to interested shoppers. over 200 progeny were born from genius sperm, children he hoped would better the human gene pool. the question is, did it work? so 30 years ago, what robert graham tried to do in manufacturing genius was hugely controversial. but, nevertheless, he was inundated with people who wanted to utilize his services, like a couple who lives in this building in new york city. >> before finding the repository, adrian and david tried for years to conceive naturally, with no success. >> at what point did you realize there was something wrong? >> we visited the doctors. she turned out to be exceptionally fertile. and i was exceptionally infertile. >> adrian wanted the experience of birth. so adoption was out of the question. after hearing about the repository on tv, they decided to check it out. >> so what did you actually read about the repository that struck you? >> really the basic thing wa

that that predebate, that behindcy graham -- >> what does that mean for lindsey graham?t a development is that? >> i think it's starting to make sense, right? you had the first two debates. i think they were very fair about trying to include everyone. but at some point, if you are less than 1% in the polls, you've got to come to the realization that you're not going anywhere and it's nice to have -- to use this as a maybe, you know, business marketing plan as i think maybe george pataki is or, you know, bobby jindal. i can't even remember who the third person on there is, oh, rick santorum. but, you know, guys, you know, you may need to get yourselves another day job. >> but ana, unless -- obviously you wait to see the polls and what happens post-debate, but that could also mean your friend lindsey graham. >> yes. >> if he doesn't get a bump. >> absolutely. he had a great debate yesterday. we saw carly emerge from the first debate, the first undercard debate, and if anybody's going to emerge from last night's undercard debate, it's going to be lindsay. he spoke the most.

the lindsey graham we saw on fox news was sower. lindsey graham was one cracking jokes, loose.e has been in the mix on almost every exchange that we have seen. even the other candidates on the stage have turned to him and looked to him and he stood up on immigration. he said hispanics are americans. >> he has the guts in this crowd to do that. >> he stood his ground that he staked out and in that venue he looked at the camera and said i'm not backing down from that point. this is what we believe. this is where we should go. >> i think the best thing lindsay said in terms of government making it work as we believe in was he said to rick santorum you had an immigration bill. how many democrats supported it. how are you going to knock something is nobody is for it. lindsay challenged him i thought effectively. i thought he was being honest. your thoughts. >> i agree that lindsey graham really stood out and tried to establish as commander in chief and we know in his background as jag officer. he stood his ground and laid out the case on immigration and did it in a way that i believ

lindsey graham is not going to tolerate that kind of behavior.ith president obama is about his policies. i am not going to be a leader in the republican party that legitimizes this hateful stuff about him being a muslim, not being a real american. he's a liberal. i think he loves this country. i just think he's doing a lot of damage to it. at the end of the day, mr. trump has an opportunity here that would be good for him and good for the country to step forward and say i mishandled this situation. if i had it all over to do again i would challenge the man. >> you know, you referenced john mccain. we played that earlier, when john mccain actually physically took the microphone from that woman in order to speak to her and to the country, and say no, ma'am, you're wrong, he's a christian, he's a family man, i disagree, just as you said, and it seems like that was 2008. it just seems strange that we are still going through this process again. lindsey graham, thank you so much for being with us today. >> here's the good news. most of us on the republ

if we hadn't had corker, graham, menendez, we wouldn't be talking about this.asking for is a final vote. >> why do you think that the opponents of the deal didn't make anymore headway this summer? here you are with 41 votes. >> i think democrats are more worried about a primary. i think what president obama did is unleash his political machine and they were told if you cross the president here, the obama network will come after you forever. some people think this is a good deal, but i've never seen pressure like this coming from a white house any time, anywhere. >> there are really not a lot of profiles encouraged here. if you look at a poll just out about this nuclear agreement, approve, disapprove, don't know. you can see the numbers are really upside down to disapprove this deal. there you go, on the screen. and you can see the change is actually more disapproval since july. >> all i can say is it would be a central issue in 2016 for president and i think for congress as a whole. but has the republican party -- why do we vote to shut down the government when

like where is lindsey graham.second debate is typical peppery, funny, lively lindsey graham. >> look, that was his first debate as a presidential candidate it's a big stage. bright lights but it's also a very strange debate. they put those candidates in an arena with no people in it. you could hear a pin drop from behind -- it was bizarre, very difficult situation to expect, especially someone like senator graham who feeds off people, who has this great sense of humor to perform in such a stale environment. i think that was a really unfortunate way to introduce those candidates in that sort of setting. >> were you guys aware before and they would not be a so basically in the agreement except for just a few family and friends? >> i do want to get too far into what we heard, what we were told. >> we are here to get in the weeds. weeds. >> were told a number of different things. before and, afterwards, things change. we knew there was going to be much of an audience. that was not a surprise. >> how do you think he di

what you see with lindsey graham is exactly what you get. he is as approachable as anyone i have ever worked with and politics. he is as sincere and carrying a person as i have ever been around. he is also just funny. he is a really funny person. it is not so much that he has the same kind of joke that you hear over and over and over again. i worked with john mccain, i can tell you john mccain sticks to jokes. thing lindsey graham has ever said, i am not sure i could come up with it, because every day it is something new. that creates an environment that is fun to work in and i'm great -- very grateful for that. rich: the use of much. -- thank you so much.

i hope he will take senator graham's advice and request and do just that. we can all have differences. that's what elections are about. we can compare and contrast our experiences and our views and our visions and our programs. that's all fair game. but we have a bigger obligation to the american people to try to have a campaign that is about what's really going on in the lives of americans and to do everything we can to eliminate from our political discourse the kind of comments that we heard yesterday. so i hope he will. he should address that. [ inaudible question ] >> well, there will be a lot of time for me to compare and contrast but very briefly on this, i think my plan is both more comprehensive because i'm aiming at getting costs down, not just putting more money in the system so the costs keep rising. i have a very heavy emphasis on paying down debt and different ways to help students do exactly that. >> all right. so hillary clinton is moving on, taking some other questions there. i think we got the basic statement out of her and her response to

what you see is what you get with lindsey graham. he can interact with people as good as anyone i have worked with. that sort of talent that helped him so much in south carolina is perfectly tailored to iowa and new hampshire as well. >> would you expect him along the line. you begin to pick up endorsements from his fellow senators speak with i don't know if endorsements are really the name of the game. i think the key is how you're doing in iowa, new hampshire and south carolina. that's going to be more of our focus. >> do you have a secret weapon in iowa and a large number of people there in the national guard? >> i think that certainly helps out. senator graham is the only candidate in the race today aside from jim gilmore who has served in the military. he was in the national guard. he's been a reservist. i think there's a large population of national guard and reservists in i was going to be good for you. there's a strong veterans population in new hampshire and in satellite as well. >> does have a particular strategy for reachi

and here to el the us about it is the president of the t l graham association, franklin graham. >> hows still with us. sell neatoo well, and he can't and neither can i, but he is doing great. he started the book a few months before the 95th birthday, and he was working hard on it, and then right after his birthday he got s. mt > ntkaeu fiit. >> and we didn't think that he would make it through christmas. and here he is. >> here he is, and he is better nowhine. >itebo, wdo hwa s in his final book? >> he wanted to talk about heaven and hell and e eternity, because he says, i'm not going be here much longer, and i'm on the doorsteps of eternity, and i want people to know, and he is af raid of what hollywood and writers have depicted as heaven to be, and he wants people to the understand what the bible has to say what heaven is, and what hell is, because there are two paths, a two choices all of the way back to the garden of e eden two paths, and even today, two pah and god loves us, and has provided for our sins, and christ died for our sins on the cross and took his place and was buried

that said lindsey graham had a good night in early debate. he had one liners and he had some back and forth and he had substance. i think he is probably the winner out of that early card debate. >> all right. i was watching the debate in my office in new york city. i had two slices of pizza. i was frying not to chew that loud so i could hear them. i didn't really hear anything out of the ordinary, all right. it was the standard here are the problems, here is how going to solve it except for this from bobby jindal. roll the tape. >> my fellow republicans, let's stop treating donald trump like a republican. if he were really a conservative. [ applause ] >> if he were really a conservative and 30 points ahead, i would endorse him. evidence is not a conservative. is not a liberal. he is not a democrat. is he not a republican. he is not an independent. he believes in donald trump. >> now, jindal has gone after trump before. do you think that's a winning strategy? >> well, listen, he has to do something to get on the radar because his poll numbers

my respect goes to franklin graham and billy graham and men like that.ost: where is the pope too liberal for you? let's talk about some of these issues. caller: climate change. they used to call the global warming. that does not agree with their ideology so they call it what they call it now. what happened to they are not supposed to mix church with state? guest: the pope is not legislating. all the pope is doing, he is like the global moral conscience . he is calling us to think through the consequences of our actions. when he is talking about climate change, it is not because he is concerned about -- he's concerned about the human person. it is true that in a lot of those countries poor people suffered because of the there isrned because of the people. i think that is something that speaks to everyone across the aisle and that is what i would hope from our representatives that they listen in that vein and hear the pope's message. host: chicago, illinois. on for democrats. -- on the line for democrats. caller: i believe a lot of what the pope has to say

birds fall 0-2 i'm alongside brandon graham.irst question, brandon, what is the world happened today? >> and i mean all i can say is, that it just was not a good day. you know, we all need to get better. i'm happy it's happening early. because it's a long season. i know i still believe that we still will get it done. >> all right. owe ten was not good today. 226 yards of total offense only 7 yards on the ground. two of 11 on 3rd down. the first 8 possessions 6 punts ape blocked punt and interception. how surprised are you that the offense played so poorly. >> i mean i was very surprised because i mean we work so hard and sometimes yeah you come up short and i just know once we got the film we will make corrections people are tired of hearing that. they came in you know with a good game plan and capitalized on a lot. >> chip and company know they need to get things corrected. >> and running ball the way we're running ball now will not make running games we have to get it figure you'd out. >> it doesn't get worse on offense it's w

so in terms of lindsey graham i think the one word i would use to describe him is sincere.what you see with him is exactly what you get. he is as approachable as anyone i have ever worked with in politics, as sincere and caring as i've ever been around and also just plain funny. he is a really funny person to be around and it's not so much that he has the same jokes and hear over and over again. i worked with john mccain and i can tell you that if you asked me today what what the funny thing he said, i'm not sure that i could come up with it because everyday something new. so that creates an environment that's a great deal of fun to work in and i'm truly thankful for that opportunity. >> thank you. >> coming up next is very done it with ben carson campaign. [applause] >> thank you. thank you. >> okay, so we have this breaking news maybe in about 10 minutes that scott walker is out of the race. what do you make of that and how do you analyze that we met what does it mean to . >> i think last time it was so -- you know, don't give up, you're going to hit rough spots. >> can y

defense is a favorite topic of senator graham's. he spent six years on active duty as an air force attorney and served more than a quarter century in the air force reserves retiring as a colonel. he has been a strong voice in his caucus on foreign policy during his eight years in the house of representatives and 13 years in the senate. while his presidential campaign has yet to catch fire in the polls, senator graham has stood out for his criticisms of the gop frontrunner donald trump. he has called trump quote a fraud. and said his plan to combat isis is quote insanely dangerous. and those were some of the tamer comments he made. [laughter] >> trump for his part, announced graham's cellphone number on national television. long before a life in politics, graham grew up one apartment behind his parent's liquor store. when both of his parents died at a young age he became the head of the family at 21 legally adopting his 13-year-old sister. he earned undergraduate and law degrees from the university of south carolina and launched a po
