Hey, this is Trey. Thank you for joining us for another Tuesday edition of our podcast.

There are lots of things going on in the United States.

Obviously the indictment of a former president, you got the debt limit looming, you have an unstable economy, but there are also issues around the globe that I do not always get the attention that they should get.

And I want to talk to someone who has dedicated the better part of his career in public service, certainly since he's been in Congress to understanding and knowing and having a position on matters that involve foreign policy.

And American diplomacy and our military and the use of our military, but we will start with the indictment in New York, former president Trump on what would be a misdemeanor.

Honestly, legally it's pretty factfully thin, even for a misdemeanor, make it a felony. There has to be another crime involved. And right now that's the great mystery. What is that other crime? But here's what's not a mystery. My guest, Senator Lindsey Graham from the great status out of Carolina, Senator, how are you? Thank you for joining us.

Well, thank you, Trey. I hear you're the number one podcast. Is that right?

The number one podcast that you are currently doing right now. Yes. The number, the number one, the number one that involves me and you at this very moment. Yes.

Okay. Well, anyway, yeah, it's all good. I'm not the top 10 of my own household. So I know your household. So for those who are listening, I played with Trey a couple of days ago, 30 mile an hour, wins, best I've ever seen you hit the ball. And I really don't like complimenting you, but it's deserved in this case. Speaking of Trump, well, I only get to play four or five times a week. So in my defense, I, when I don't hit the ball, I'm not going to be able to do it.

When I don't hit the ball well, let's just do. I'm going to work a hot like you know that. Now your wife so lucky to have you. You're around the house kind of guy. I heard you bought our lawnmower for Christmas. That was really good.

So speaking of Trump, you know, you're smart, lawyer. I don't think this case is going to survive a lot of scrutiny, but let's just step back a little bit. Trey, where are we going as a country? Bill Clinton. I remember him. I do. Yeah. Okay. Well, he was former president. He got sued for sexual harassment by Paula Jones and he gave a deposition about a situational monocle and skinny lied.

I understand you lost this license law license for a few years, but he wasn't prosecuted. And I, frankly, was okay with that. It was a personal matter. You know, you tend to want to protect your family when you get in situations like that, but nobody prosecuted Bill Clinton for lying under oath.

You have Hillary Clinton. She's a democratic nominee. She had 33,000 emails under subpoena. You know this better than anybody. They magically go away. And apparently somebody in her world took a hammered or hard drive and nothing happened to her. So here's my point.

What do you like, Trump? I don't like Trump. What's going on in New York is just legally bizarre, resurrecting the dead legally just to get the guy because you don't like him.

And we can't live in a world where a Democrat does similar things and nothing happens to them. A banana republic by definition, Trey, is a place where it's not about what you do is who you are.

If you're not in the right tribe or the right group, you can't get a fair shake. And a lot of Republicans listening to this podcast today believe that America is going down that road where if you're Democrat, you get away with it.

If you're Republican, you spit on the sidewalk. They're coming after you. And that's what worries me the most.

You know, Senator, before you went into maybe why you were in the state house, but certainly before you went into Congress, you were part of the judicial system.

You have had a very successful private law practice. You were a trial lawyer. And that used to kind of be where we would go for the playing field to be level was our judicial system.

I don't want to sound too hokey, but she is blindfolded for a reason. And when you either let that blindfold slip or when you with volition remove it, I worry about our country.

And this is coming from somebody who used to tell Republicans to stop chanting lock her up because you don't we don't lock people up that have not been indicted or tried or convicted.

It's just I hate to use the phrase of weaponization, but that's probably is the best phrase. It is weaponizing justice.
