US Senator Lindsey Graham Dies at 71 Following Sudden Illness After Returning From Kyiv

[0:00] Happy to see you. [0:02] Thank you very much. [0:04] Happy to see you. [0:05] How are you? [0:06] Good. [0:07] Can you see me again? [0:08] Sure. [0:09] Can you see me again? [0:10] Good to see you. [0:11] Good to see you. [0:12] Good to see you. [0:13] Good to see you. [0:14] Good to see you. [0:15] Good to see you. [0:17] Thank you for coming, Lins. [0:19] Got a little update for you here. [0:21] Just tell me when I can talk, but a good visit with the president, right? [0:26] Yeah, I think that we had a really good meeting. [0:29] Yeah, the mood was good, and we had some very important results. [0:34] Great briefing by your intel folks. [0:36] I would recommend that you send them over on the war. [0:41] Good. [0:42] And the effect. [0:45] I think that Patriot licenses were important. [0:51] I'm pleased to announce, as of about 30 minutes ago, [1:02] we've reached agreement with the White House on a version of the Russian sanctions bill [1:09] that they will support. [1:10] It means it's going to become law. [1:13] So when I get back to Washington, I'm going to go with Senator Blumenthal, [1:19] to the Republican and Democratic leader, to see if we can find time to move this Russian sanctions package [1:27] that would give tools to President Trump to help end this war. [1:31] I've never been more optimistic than I am today that we have the formula to end this war. [1:50] Help Ukraine be more lethal. [1:53] Let those supporting Russia to know it's going to be a price to be paid if you keep doing it. [1:58] And to try to find an off-ramp, not to humiliate Putin, but to end this war so that Ukraine will thrive and survive. [2:09] Great news for Ukraine that we're going to empower the Ukrainian people to make the Patriot under license [2:33] from the United States to protect the skies, which will give tools available to Ukraine they don't have today. [2:40] A major decision by President Trump that I think over time will pay great dividends. [2:46] What can we do immediately? [2:48] It's going to take a while. [2:51] What can we do immediately? [2:52] We can, in my view, pass legislation that would require people propping up Putin to have something new to think about. [3:06] I think President Trump likes a winner, and he sees Ukraine in the camp of being a winner. [3:25] But you're not going to win this war on the battlefield, but Ukraine is really putting a lot of pressure on Russia. [3:33] My hope is to end this war through diplomacy, and the more leverage we have over Putin, the better. [3:39] And so I think what President Trump has seen in Ukraine has impressed him. [3:45] And we now have a moment in time, if we can increase the lethality of Ukraine by sharing technology with them, [3:54] and also put the world on notice, help President Trump end the war, stop buying cheap Russian oil and gas, [4:02] then that's a winning combination. [4:04] I'm confident that President Trump won't sign a bad deal. [4:09] The MOU, as described by the Vice President and the administration, seems very promising. [4:14] Iranian media reports about the deal seem concerning. [4:20] Once the MOU is actually released, we can all look at it. [4:24] I think that would be helpful. The President's committed to doing that. [4:27] He's committed to sending it to Congress. [4:29] I'd like to have a diplomatic solution to Iran's new ambitions. [4:33] My skepticism is Iran itself. What would a good deal look like? No enrichment. [4:38] And we'll see if we can get there. But at the end of the day, we're opening up the streets and we're stopping hostilities as a success of its own. [4:49] But whether or not we can get phase two, I don't know. I appreciate the press for trying to get a diplomatic solution.
