All right. Hey, everybody. A lot happening this week. I'm at a hotel in Des Moines. So we got a big guest for you on tomorrow's show. Today, we have a doubleheader. In segment two, I added in Congressman Ro Khanna, who did a trip to the West Bank last week with my former FY pod colleague, Cam Cassie, colleague, co-host, buddy, friend. Mini-me. What they went through is pretty remarkable. We kind of dig right into it in the conversation. So just for a little bit of context, Roe and Cameron went, when Congress was on recess, to visit various parts of the West Bank. It was... One of these fact-finding, understanding missions to see what's happening there. There is increasing concern about settler violence in the West Bank.
There's been a particular uptick on this since the Iran war, where there's a sense that settlers, Israeli settlers, can act with impunity in the West Bank. And
How did the show open and what headlines set the episode’s agenda?
Even, boy, I asked Rowe a question from one of his critics that he blanches at, but even that critic in the question, a very pro-Zionist person I follow on social media, is like, man, I'm even not really thrilled about everything that's happening in the West Bank. And then he goes on to offer some criticism of Rowe. So that is kind of the context there. of their trip and then we get into you know a lot of details on on what they saw and um hopefully uh that's that's valuable for folks so um that is segment two uh first i got bill crystal obviously we talk a bunch about the passing of lindsey graham uh since we recorded uh governor henry mcmaster who is just such a good old boy, South Carolina good old boy.
He's what John Kennedy wishes he was, just really authentic foghorn leghorn. Believe it or not, he endorsed John Huntsman in the 2012 primaries. So I got to know Henry really well back then. He then went with Trump. Everybody ended up going with Trump. Everybody abandoned me, you know. It's just... What happens? Life of an Ever Trumper. So me and Henry don't talk anymore. But Henry is announcing Lindsey's temporary replacement this afternoon. So by the time this pod is out, you'll probably see who that is. And then there'll be a primary for potentially a permanent replacement, though that person will have to go up against Annie Andrews in the general election in November. So Bill and I kind of handicapped that a little bit during the pod.
But by the time this is out, you guys will know who the interim senator is. So There you go. Big show today. Up next, Bill Kristol. Stick around.
Hello and welcome to the Bullard Podcast. I'm your host, Tim Miller. It is Monday, so I'm, of course, here with editor-at-large Bill Kristol. Hey, Tim. A bunch of news to get to. Obviously, the biggest shocking news over the weekend was the death of Senator Lindsey Graham, which... Many of us woke up to Sunday morning. And I know, Bill, you talked about this with Sarah yesterday on your conversation. I know folks are going to be interested in hearing your thoughts on this. And there's a lot to be said about Lindsey Graham. But I don't know. Maybe you can just kick us off.
Obviously, I was saddened by his death. But to be honest, I was saddened by the last, what, eight years of his life, eight, nine years of his life. Yeah, 10 maybe. 10 maybe. Yeah, well, he voted for McMullin. I forgot about this. He had voted for Evan McMullin in 2016. So he was hanging in there, you know, as an anti-Trumper. But it changed, I guess, early 2017. He met with Trump and... I knew Lindsey pretty well about 20 years ago. We were neocon, McCain acolytes, both of us, I would say, supporters of the war in Iraq. You had those secret meetings that you all met with. Yes, a lot of secret meetings. But that wasn't such a small group at the time, 75 senators, some of you voted for the war in Iraq. The small group was those who had supported the war and they were willing to criticize Bush's conduct of the war and Rumsfeld and General Casey.
