MEGYN KELLY (HOST): But here's Lindsey Graham. The Wall Street Journal, he gave an interview to the Journal — so this is not their secret reporting, this is him. “To help make the case on Iran, Graham traveled several times to Israel in recent weeks meeting with members of the country's intelligence agency." Quote, “‘They'll tell me things our own government won't tell me.' He spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, coaching him on how to lobby President Trump for action. ‘Netanyahu showed the president intelligence that persuaded Trump to go ahead,' said Graham."

Now, like, we continue to be called antisemitic if you say that we're doing this because of Israel. We are 100% doing this because of Israel. If you used a but-for cause, would we be doing this if Israel were not involved? The answer is no, we wouldn't. We've heard that from Marco Rubio. Now we hear that from Lindsey Graham directly. We've — it's been reported by left and right wing outlets alike.

Iran was -- sorry, Israel was the one pushing for this war. And Lindsey Graham helped, and so did some Fox News contributors, and so did many others who were Israel firsters like Mark Levin. 

“Trump called Graham this week to praise his television appearances." Oh my God. “Graham saw an opportunity. The senator said he pitched Trump on bombing Iranian and Hezbollah elements inside Lebanon. Trump said he'd think about it. Graham recalled, quote, 'I just think he has seen the capability of our military.' Graham goes on, ‘What I don't understand is why more people don't do it. Try to shape these events. This is a moment of world history here. Just jump in the deep end of the pool.'"

This guy is a homicidal maniac with a bloodlust that is insatiable. He wants us — he got us into the Iranian war, Lindsey Graham. Now he wants us to get involved in a Lebanese war, which is Israel's already starting or involved in, and he wants us to go into Cuba, from the sound of it, possibly. Is that a boots on the ground situation? I don't know.

But this guy should be nowhere near President Trump. He should be not be allowed within 20 feet of the president's orbit, and the president should make the decision to keep this guy the hell away from him or, at least in his own mind, shut down his influence. This is not a force for good in The United States of America, Lindsey Graham.
