And another senator trying to stepping in for her brother and doing a great job and having the and guess who has his back to Donald Trump is Senator Darlene Graham. Senator Graham, welcome. Hi, thank you, Brian, for having me.
Yeah, well, thanks so much for joining me. I don't know if you know it, but I was one of those people harassing your your brother forever on foreign policy. What's the latest? We talked about we talked constantly over the last maybe. Fifteen twenty years, you must have heard that a lot in the past.
And his passion for the job was without peer. Did you? I mean, what did the job mean before we get into what you are doing to get to get the job? Six more years of his, which will be yours. Can you?
Can you tell everybody what this job meant to him? Yeah, absolutely. First of all, I appreciate the optimism, and me getting in there for six years. I hope you're right. But when it comes to Lindsey, I mean, he was just absolutely so passionate about serving the people of South Carolina and serving in the United States Senate.
Any time we went on vacation, he never stopped working. He was always working, even if we were at dinner somewhere. You could see the will. Turning in his head, he absolutely loved serving the people of South Carolina and helping our country. I mean, you talk about all in; he was all in, and I'm just so proud of everything that he did for our state and our country.
I just could not be more proud of what he did. And after burying your brother, because you guys were so close, within a day you have to step into his job. And what has that been like? That is right. Yeah, that's pretty much.
You know, I got the unexpected tragic news just out of nowhere. It was absolutely, obviously devastating to me because we were so close. And within 24 hours, the governor was calling to ask me if I would serve out Lindsey's term, and you know that never even occurred to me. I've I've never had any desire to be a politician.
So when he called, I said, you know, let me pray about it. Let me talk to my family about it. And the next morning, I called him back and said, of course, I would be honored to serve out the term. And then from there, things progressed even further.
So you had the chance to do the job. And when did you realize you wanted to keep it?
Well, you know, within a week I was being sworn in, and then obviously the next day I was in the Oval Office meeting with the president. And as you probably heard, you know, the president asked me to serve a full term, and I agreed to it. But I had already been thinking, you know, because I have been working for the people of South Carolina for the past thirty years. It was. I'm passionate about that.
I'm also passionate about serving the people of South Carolina, just in a different way. I work for state government.
So when this happened, I thought, you know, this would be a way for me to continue serving the people of South Carolina, just in a different capacity. Plus, I could continue on with Lindsey's legacy. What an honor! What a great opportunity! I'm a hard worker, just like him.
We have the same values. You know, we grew up in a small town from humble beginnings, so we were both about hard work, and we learned the value of a dollar and a strong work ethic from our parents.
So I had all that ingrained in me as well.
So, yeah, it was about serving the people of South Carolina is what finally made my decision. And now you are in a heated race. I mean, it would have been Senator your brother would have would have probably walked away. I mean, be up ten points by now. With you, you are in single digits.
What separates you? Yeah, you know, I just the polling is kind of confusing and drives me crazy. I remember back six years ago when Lindsey was running against Jamie Harrison. You know, they had that race close, and then he won by I think ten or twelve points. I can't remember exactly, so I don't know if I fully trust the polling.
But I tell you what, I'm running like I'm points behind, regardless, because. I'm not taking anything for granted, so I'm out there, you know, covering the state, meeting the voters. I want to hear what's on their mind, what's important to them.
So again, I just try to, you know, take the polling with a grain of salt because I don't know how accurate it truly is. It depends on the poll, first of all, and second of all, it doesn't matter. I don't care if I was ten points ahead. I'm going to run like I'm behind. Understood.
So, what separates you from your opponent?
Well, that's easy. I'm a conservative Christian, and she's the most radical liberal that has ever run for a federal office in South Carolina. I mean, some of the stuff that she has flip-flopped on: she's for transgender surgeries and treatments for minors; she's for abortion up to the time a baby feels pain; just everything opposite of me. She called the one big beautiful bill the. One big ugly bill.
So she wants to tax tips, overtime, and social security. Obviously, I want to lower taxes. I want to lower spending. I am pro life. I was proud to be endorsed by Susan B.
Anthony and National Right to Life. She wants to take people's guns. You know, she's been paid. She talks about she's a pediatrician, but she was let go from MUSC for her radical beliefs on the transgender treatments. And she's actually been paid more by an anti-gun group over the past couple years than as a pediatrician.
You know, obviously, I fully support the Second Amendment.
So those are just some examples of the clear differences between myself and her. But at the end of the day. I'm a true conservative Christian Republican. She is just, you know, a true radical liberal Democrat.
So, and in South Carolina, you wouldn't think that would fly. We notice a lot of candidates in red states are running almost as independents because they know the liberal socialist agenda that thrives in New York, that thrives in Illinois, thrives in California would not work there. Do you find that she's changing her? Doctor Annie Andrews is changing some positions to try to be more. More attractive to the South Carolina voter.
Absolutely, you know, Brian, and that's what frustrates me more than anything. It's all out there, where you know, year two, three years ago, she has all these videos, these social media posts, these quotes, where she's been for transgender treatments and she's opposed guns. I mean, just just quote and video after video, and now all of a sudden she's running these ads like she's some moderate. I mean. It's a complete lie.
She's deceiving the people of South Carolina, and like I've told several people, that's really what bothers me more than anything. It's all out there. You can't hide from it. You can't run from it.
So at least be honest with the people. But she's lying to the great people of South Carolina and deceiving them. Hi everyone, it's Brian Kilmeade here. Are you tired of those uncomfortable dress shirts, especially when they bunch up under a sweater? If so, then you must check out Collars and Co.

So it's interesting because if you're trying to get an idea, and it's not unusual, but the opposition party out of power, you know they usually say we're just going to run against the party in power. But what would they do if they got the job?
So we're hearing about adding two states. We're hearing about blowing up the filibuster, and we're also hearing about packing the court. This is Abdul Sayed. This is Tawalico. This is Flanagan over in Minnesota, and Troy Jackson in Maine.
Listen to this. Cut nine. Are you in favor of expanding the U.S. Supreme Court? Yes or no?
Yes, but fairly.
Well, I think the Supreme Court needs to be overhauled. And I'm open to a discussion about expanding the number of justices. I think I believe that we should add additional seats to the Supreme Court. I believe that we absolutely should look at staggered terms. I think that we should have term limits, and I'm not against putting more people on the court because this court obviously is not working.
So that these are the candidates, and that's what's going to happen when they get in. Where do you stand on that, and do you think that would be a bad move? Yes, I mean, Annie Andrews has already come out saying that she wants to increase the Supreme Court from nine to thirteen members to pack it with liberal justices. She couldn't even answer the question, "What was her favorite justice?" So that tells you right there. You know, I've answered that question clearly.
Brett Kavanaugh and Clarence Thomas. You know, basically, the hell they had to go through to get on the Supreme Court. No, no doubt about it. But that—that's one thing that looks like it might even happen.
So we'll see what's out there.
So you have ten days. How do you plan on closing? What is your final message? My final message is: I'm just getting out across this state, trying to get to as many voters as I can. But my message, my main message to everyone, is please get out and vote.
Whether you vote early or you wait until election day, get out and vote because it's going to be close, and we can't, you know, take anything for granted. Like I said earlier, so get out and vote. Take your family, take your friends, take anyone, and. Just don't sit this one out, and you know, make sure you vote Republican. Obviously, there's some.
People out there who might not be sure, so again, just get out and vote and vote Republican because it's going to be a close race. Because I cannot, these people are trying so hard to turn our state blue. She's spending a million dollars a week. Eighty-four percent of her donors are from outside of South Carolina, so they are trying so hard to turn our state blue.
So we could take, you know, help with that too. DarlingGraham dot com if you. Want to help us out because again they're just pouring money into her to turn our state blue.
So my main message is just you know help us out, darlinggraham. dot com, and get out and vote, please. And darling, Senator Graham is our guest right now.
So, Senator, one reason you broke with the president, you said flat out, "I'm going to be more domestically oriented, worrying about the local economy than foreign policy." But you did break with the president when he did the diesel deal with Russia, and I think they're going to start. Chipping it soon. Why did you do that? Why do you think it was a mistake?
Well, you know, here is how I believe on that. You know, one of my main goals when I got in there because it was so important to Lindsay. It was the Lindsey Graham sanction Russia and Iran Act of 2026. I worked hard as soon as I got in there with my Senate colleagues to get that across the Senate, past through the Senate, across the finish line, and we accomplished that. Got it through the House and signed into law.
Ultimately, the President and I have the same goal, which is to end the war, to get the price of gas down, right? And the bill gives him the flexibilities, the tools to kind of turn it on and. Turn it off whenever he so chooses. Would I have done that? I would like to keep the pressure on Russia because I don't.
It comes down to the fact that I just don't trust trust Russia, our Putin.
So I think we need to keep the pressure on. But you know, it's okay to you can agree to disagree on things sometimes. But again, it boils down to the fact that I just do not trust Russia. Did the president get mad at you because you said that before he appeared with you at Clemson? I do not think so.
I mean, he came down and did the rally, and it was a phenomenal rally—a huge turnout. It was very nice of him to do it. I have thanked him. I appreciate the endorsement.
So, I think we're good. Senator Lindsey Graham, excuse me, Senator Darlene Graham. Right now, she has Lindsey's seat, and she wants it for six years, and she'll know if she's got it November third. Senator Darlene Graham, thanks so much for your time. Thank you, thank you for having me.
