I'm doing my Jude Bellingham celebration. Welcome to The Daily Show. My name is Jon Stewart. Great show for you tonight. Later on, we're going to be joined by the unbelievably amazing director, Christopher Nolan's going to be joining us. Christopher Nolan's going to be joining us. A movie out called The Odyssey. Based on the video console from the 1970s. It's all about Pong. But first, obviously, big news from the weekend, the sudden passing of Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina. Obviously, I knew him a bit from lobbying down at Capitol Hill, but I didn't know him particularly well. So I'll let Lindsey Graham's best friend memorialize the late senator.
Joining us now by phone is one of his best friends, President Donald Trump. I know you lost one of your closest friends and an ally in the Senate. How are you feeling?
Well, I don't feel great. He was a great guy. He was a friend. He would call me all the time. I'd say, stop calling me, Lindsey.
I'll never forget the way that I always let him go to voicemail. It was our thing.
Obviously, he's just opening the eulogy on a lighthearted note. Sure, the poignancy follows.
Loved playing golf. Loved being outside. It wasn't that he was a great striker of the ball. He wasn't exactly a perfect. He wasn't Jack Nicklaus. He was not Tiger. He was totally against me. He said, I'll get you in South Carolina. I'm going to get you in South Carolina. That didn't work out too well. It was a nasty campaign. He was tough and nasty. I wanted to see the war with Ukraine end. Very quickly, I think he was more into, you know, keeping it going, frankly. He was a total workaholic politician. Now, some people will call that work.
