Senator Lindsey Graham was having a documentary about his life and political efforts made at the time he died. The biographical outline is scheduled to be released in the future [CITATION]. However, the Wall Street Journal was granted some excerpts of the recent filming.
In a rather telling part of the storyline, Senator Graham notes on his goal to eliminate Iran, he needed to work with Marco Rubio because Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner were in conflict to his intent.
Wall Street Journal – […] Holder is now distilling hundreds of hours of raw camera footage for a documentary currently titled “Lindsey’s Game,” which he said he wants to release in the coming months. Graham agreed to it, saying he wanted people to understand his long tenure in the Senate and hopefully inspire others to work in government. Graham repeatedly told the crew how “cool this was,” Holder said.
“He would call what this was ‘a game,’” Holder said, describing how Graham told him how bizarre he thought it was that a senator from South Carolina has a closer relationship with the Saudi Arabian leader than anyone in a Democratic or Republican administration.
The crew also filmed Graham as he talked in March with Jake Sullivan, who was national security adviser under President Joe Biden, about the challenges of working with the Trump administration on Middle East negotiations.
“I can’t do it with Jared, and I can’t do it with Witkoff. They’re just too conflicted. It’s gotta be Rubio,” he said to Sullivan, referring to Trump’s primary envoys in the negotiations, his son-in-law Jared Kushner and his longtime friend Steve Witkoff, and his secretary of state, Marco Rubio.
A White House official said Graham, Witkoff and Kushner were close friends. “Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are excellent dealmakers whose results speak for themselves,” the official said.
Sullivan asks Graham in March about how much longer the war in Iran is going to last, and Graham provides a response that proved to be wildly off. “In three to four weeks, we’re going to have them in a spot where they start losing control of some cities…get the Arabs more openly involved tomorrow, and then have almost irreversible momentum.” (read more)
Bet the biography leaves out the toy boys part
That’s why one would be so deeply involved in the project. Control over content.
rubio is a NEOCON through and through, and remains a key part of the deep state, so this makes sense.
Oh please. He may have had such leanings at some point earlier in his career but he most certainly is not now.
And Tulsi was a democratic candidate for president.
And RFK jr was a democrat royalty loon.
So many of the cabinet travelled different roads to get here. From my knothole; I care not the road you travelled to get here. I only care with what you will do now that you are here.
God forbid I was judged on the path I took to get to where I am.
agree we all get a second chance.
but IMO, this bizarre obsession on the right with iran and israel is blinding many to exactly who he STILL IS. he pushed venezuela. he is pushing to keep ukraine going. he is pushing for cuba. and he is pushing for iran, which is slow rolling into a global economic catastrophe and probably world war.
EXACTLY like lindsey. that is not like-minded company i would be proud to claim.
Are you sure? I have listened to many of his press conferences. He rarely if ever tips his hand publicly. Now if you referring to “news” stories describing his views…cough sputter.
I like the live interviews and articles directly quoting people.
Are you saying that Rubio pushed Venezuela? If true that worked out well. I have heard nothing that would support your Ukraine and Cuba points other than musings in quality publications like politico, Axios, WSJ, NYT, etc.
I will not develop an opinion of people with those as my data sources
Add the AP & Reuters

I’d forgotten about that. Thanks!
Rubio can never be trusted. Lindsay Graham knew. He was working with Rubio to start this war and keep it going.
JD is much worse then Rubio.
JD went out of his way to go on CNN and call Trump Hitler and worse.
JD is a Cucker surrogate. He will deny it as he preaches Cucker talking points. It is a bit surreal.
Like Cucker it is always about the Jews, Zionist Christians and Israel – for JD’s failures.
Rubio has been told to his face but the establishment regretted voting for him for Secretary of State.
Rubio has done too much good to go back to the establishment.
Rubio took it in stride and said that shows I am doing a good job.
See for yourself on youtube
Van Hollen tells Rubio he regrets voting to confirm him for Secretary of State
(That is a compliment.)

Sec. Rubio is an anti-Communist and anti-Islamist.
The Deep State, at least the Barack Obiden Deep State, is pro-Communist and pro-Islamist, pro-Globalist, pro-Child Trafficking, pro-Endless War and pro-satan.
Now talk about Trump’s past.
People change.
God picks unlikely leaders that He sees potential in.
Actually, DJ Trump has much the same political / economic positions today as he did in the 1980s. Of particular note is his 1988 interview by Oprah Winfrey where he expresses views that sound very much like serious parts of his 2016, 2020, and 2024 presidential campaigns and both 45th and 47th administrations.
What happened was that the Democrat party went so radically hard Left such that DJT had to switch parties to continue to promote his America First policies.
Fine. I still won’t vote for JD.
I am sure Kamala and Gavin will welcome your vote. If I can hold my nose and vote for McCain and Shrub….twice and even Mittens surely you can help keep the communists out of power.
I say that with love in my heart knowing that if you are here on CTH you will put country first
I get that some don’t want JD or Rubio but they’re a million times better than an AOC any day of the week.
Trump needs to finish his next couple years unhindered from democrats shenanigans.
Graham was wrong about Iran folding in a few weeks. He was wrong about Ukraine, wrong about so many things.
What makes you think he was correct about Rubio, or Jared and Witkoff?
I think Rubio loves this country & believes in MAGA. if that’s not the case he pulled a serious Houdini.
It’s how the game is played if you want to retain power and influence.
Once he no longer has to carry out President Trump’s agenda he is free to be his own man, whoever that is.
Yes, he’s doing a great job as Secretary of State but he cannot be trusted to be President for exactly the reason you state.
I thought Trump was not serious in the negotiations with two Jewish guys leading them
And just why was the WSJ granted THOSE excerpts? Gee. I wonder.
Graham’s Conservative Review Liberty Score is 43%.
Not a person from whom I would ever take advice.
And why his sister with his same opinions should not be inheriting his Senate seat, it’s not a family asset to bequeath to whom one likes.
I called that out here when it was announced and I got beat up by the oldtimers. I read a couple days ago that President Trump is reconsidering that nomination from a lot of GOP pushback in the state but haven’t heard anything more.
I pray Trump takes back the endorsement for the general election. I believe strongly she is a bad pick.
Do we or do we not believe that Iran was building up so big of an arsenal to make it impossible to stop them from building a nuclear weapon?
Yes
I know a bit about nuclear fuel cycles. There is no reason for Iran to take the path they chose except to build a bomb. The technology needed today is far more easily hidden and rebuilt. My two points are that there is a much lower confidence window on the assessment that they were not building a bomb than certain intelligence agencies want us to believe. And 2., given the cost they were willing to go endure, there is no certainty that they haven’t. Critical mass is 6.25 lbs. About the size of a grapefruit. Sphere, not solid. All I will ever say.
“Critical mass is 6.25 lbs. About the size of a grapefruit. Sphere, not solid.”
Triggering the chain reaction is the tricky part.
Not really.
It’s been my opinion for some time now that Iran already has some number of functional nuclear weapons, ten or maybe twenty devices squirreled away somewhere in places not easily surveilled by satellites or even by on-the-ground intelligence agents.
The physics of nuclear weapons is well understood. The technology needed to produce those physics inside of a physical device can be tested independently of the fissile material core. Iran has been concentrating uranium for fifteen years now and probably has enough fissile material currently available to mate with their bomb design technology.
These ten or twenty functional nuclear weapons, if they actually exist, are probably not small enough and compact enough to be mounted on an ICBM or an IRBM. But these could be delivered to a city which isn’t well enough protected from terrorist-style nuclear devices by a cargo plane or by a commercial cargo vessel.
“He would call what this was ‘a game,'”…
I would imagine that the soldiers who were killed or maimed in Iraq and Afghanistan over the two decades our country spent in the Middle East sandbox did not consider it a “game” and I am sure their families are even more disgusted than I am over the callousness of Senator Graham and his casual dismissal of their sacrifice.
There was always something about him that smacked of insincerity and this piece encapsulates how shallow of a man he truly was…there should NOTHING remotely entertaining or enjoyable about sending troops into harms’ way and I am sickened that he seemed to consider it to be both!
He and his BFF Senator John McCain both reveled in meddling in the affairs of other countries, although I suspect Songbird had different motivations, but I despised both of them in life and I have nothing good to say about either of them in death! SPIT!!
For some reason Trump just can’t praise him enough. I’ll never understand what he sees in some people.
it’s difficult not to try to imagine how much better off we’d be as a nation if graham showed as much love for this country as he did for himself
Pick up your copy of the Lindsey Graham documentary for twelve cents at Walmart’s bargain bin.
One Rino down. Not interested in his life. Bad enough having to live with it while he was alive.
We have a chance to get a great replacement yet the sister is handed it. What the actual…
“Handed it” until a primary and election this November I believe.
“…on his goal to eliminate Iran…”
Which begs the important question, which Iran?
The Iran that funds global terrorism?
The Iran that manipulates the global price of oil with their ability to bring instability to many key regions and regimes?
The Iran about to become an impregnable nuclear power with long-range missile capabilities?
Was Graham really a committed NeoCon? Or were those the only rules being enforced when he engaged the game?
I’m beginning to think he was a more complicated man, in a complcated time, playing a complicated game, for complicated reasons–including the mere joy of the game.
Maybe we don’t know him as well as we think.
The only thing you need to know about Graham is he is culpable for 3M dead in Ukraine.
and facilitated the murrder and maiming of multiple millions more by enabling the administration of the depop deaath vaxx
Which is also the main problem I have with his friend who the globalist gave a state funeral. Although like Graham, the friend did so much damage that it’s hard to pick ( Obummer care is a definite runner up).
Anyone who thinks we would be in no danger having a nuclear Iran in the world hasn’t been paying attention to them since 1979.
Thank you, Sundance.
Trump called him a “smart” man. Trump often uses “smart” as an insult, also compliments about how “nice” a person is often used the same way. And they don’t even notice, they think he really likes them.
The Netanyahu video with Maria B is incredible. He says: “the last thing we want is genocide”. The nerve!
Yes and JD is a major problem with Trump’s policies.
Trump is trying to keep a united front but JD is a problem.
People are being fooled. JD is NOT MAGA.

JD Vance ‘very unsupportive’ of Donald Trump behind the scenes
See for yourself
Trump likes pitting people against each other but there is no way Trump will endorse JD to succeed him.
He can’t fire JD and JD would never step down bcecusee of “differences in philosophy” as Trump has openly admitted,
so Trump will try and use JD for whatever he is useful for.
Donald Trump Says JD Vance Is ‘Philosophically Different Than Me’

Most likely Trump will endorse Rubio.
Between the two, – JD and Marco – RUBIO has out vote.
You will never see another Donald J Trump.
