7/29/26: Iran Surprise Attack On US As Trump Threatens Retaliation, Lindsey Graham Bibi Plot Against ICC

23:21They say, number one, Iran says Hormuz will never return to the pre-war status quo. And if I could just pause on this particular item itself, this is really the whole ballgame. And Iran is not going to go back to negotiations based on what we can see until this is clearly affirmed by the U.S. In the MOU, the language was left a little bit squishy. They're not going to allow that in whatever the next agreement may be. Number two, they say Iran is prepared to keep the strait closed, even if it means war resumes and they reject restoring that southern shipping lane. That is what the U.S. was trying to establish during the MOU period.

24:00Number three, talks are only with Oman, not Washington. So they're willing to negotiate with Oman with regard to the Strait of Hormuz. They are not willing to negotiate with Washington. Number four, Iran says military pressure will not force concessions. So no matter how much they are bombed, they are not going to move off of this position. And number five, on the nuclear file. They said Iran is effectively operating as if it were no longer an NPT member, no IAEA inspections, no declarations, all agency access suspended. He adds that Tehran is debating whether to leave the nuclear nonproliferation treaty altogether.

24:35The other side should not think Iran will remain in the NPT forever. All options are on the table. There's something else we discussed yesterday, which is that, you know, we killed the guy, the previous Supreme Leader, who was adamantly opposed to and had issued a religious edict against developing nuclear weapons. That guy has gone. The new guy seems to be much more open to it. So on every single issue, we have set ourselves back in terms of the stated goals of this war by starting this war. On every single issue, we are further away from the stated objectives here. And, you know, I think it's I think it's pretty extraordinary place that we're in right at this moment where it's no longer Iran waiting to see what the U.S.

25:21does. Now the U.S. is having to respond to Iranian actions here. And the previous prospects of negotiations quickly bringing this to a close are completely off the table. It's over six months in here, too. And one other thing, Emily, I saw one analyst projecting perhaps the Iranians want to make a deal before the midterms because part of their leverage is this political leverage of Trump caring what happens in the midterms. And after the midterms are done and that cake is baked, then you lose that piece. So that would at least give some hope that there could be some resolution around November leading into those November elections.

25:59But, you know, we still got months to go and a lot of dismal and horrifying things could happen between now and then.

26:05Emily Jashinsky:Yeah, I mean, I think back to the first month of the war where I was in a pen and pad with Senator Ron Johnson, Republican Senator Ron Johnson, who described this as a two week bombing run. We're now six months in. The MOU has fallen apart. And there's really no right now there's no indication that this is going to slow even in the near future. As if to underscore Crystal's point, let's put the next element up on the screen. This is a good point made by Sina Tusi, who posts the CNN article with the headline, Few ships risk Strait of Hormuz crossing and none use route promoted by the U.S. So Tusi points out Trump restarted the war because he wanted ships to abandon Iran's designated route through Hormuz for the U.S.-backed route.

26:48Emily Jashinsky:weeks later after major escalation and Brent going back above$100, every transiting vessel is using Iran's designated route. None, none are using the U.S. route. So hardly going according to plan, Crystal. Yeah, that's exactly right. And this is crucial because this shows you who is in control here and who is setting the pace in terms of the global markets. That's before I even talk about. Now, the disruptions in the Red Sea adding to the pressure in the global oil markets. There are some workarounds that Saudi Arabia is able to use, including a pipeline. And you do have access to the Suez Canal, although the very large cargo ships that are used typically for transporting oil cannot fit through there.

27:34There are some workarounds to ease some of the pressure, but things are looking pretty grim. And that is a very telling indication, you know, all of the war of rhetoric aside of who is actually in control here and who is able to determine what is going to happen with the global markets. At the same time, wanted to just throw this in there because I'm not quite sure what to make of it, but there's a new poll out that shows that the public is trusting Republicans at this point slightly more than Democrats on Iran, which given how dismally unpopular the Iran war is, how dismally unpopular Trump's handling of the Iran war is, I think has to be read as a complete and utter indictment of the Democrats' ability to formulate a coherent opposition and articulate their position.

28:21Let's go ahead and take a listen to a little bit of this. In April, according to a Washington Post-Ipsos poll, the Democrats were more trusted by two points. Again, close margin, no clear leader. But look where the shift has been. If anything, the shift has been in the Republican direction. Now the Republicans and Donald Trump are trusted more by two points on a run. So again, over the course of the war of anything, The Republicans have been the ones that have been gaining ground, which I think just goes so opposed to all of the news coverage that we have seen so far. And all of, you know, the media, you would think, hey, but no, the American people are actually trusting the Republicans and Trump, if anything, more now than they were, let's say, halfway through the world.

29:02What do you think about that, Em?

29:04Emily Jashinsky:I don't know what to make about that because it is so close. The swing is, you know, going from plus two Dems to plus two Republicans. But you would think, I mean, just offhand, you would think it would be Democrats by 30 points, given how much everybody hates this war. But so I think it has to be the fact that the Democrats are kind of quiet about the Iran war because a lot of them are very hawkish. You know, a lot of them sort of low key support it. They don't have a clear cut position. They haven't been adamant in their opposition or had a really coherent articulation. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, that's primarily what it's boiled down to.

29:40So I think it has to be that, you know, at least the Trump has the position, although it changes day to day of whether we're annihilating them or whether we're talking to them and we're going to be besties, you know, in the next few days. But I also think it ties into we're going to talk later on about, you know, all the Democratic socialists who are doing really well in their elections. And it looks like there's going to be a sweep right now. You've got Abdul Al-Sayed up on Haley Stevens. New poll came out that shows him leading significantly in that race, even in spite of the$50 million being spent against him.

30:12You got Francesca Hong, who is leading. You got Peggy Flanagan over in Minnesota, who is also leading. And I think it speaks to the fact that they do have a clear message on Iran and is what the public wants to hear. It's part of what is giving them credibility in their campaigns as well. So this should be I mean, not that they'll they care, they'll listen, but this should be a warning sign to Democrats that the public really wants a fierce antiwar resistance. And if you're doing if you're just staying silent or you're doing a little bit of process complaints, so Trump's not doing this horrific war the right way, then you're really missing the vote.

30:46Emily Jashinsky:It takes moral clarity out of the equation if you're just making process complaints, because deep down you would have supported Biden doing some level of this. Probably not exactly in the same way that Donald Trump did, but process aside, the substance, the kind of end goal, the stated end goal, at least, it does remove the measure of moral clarity that is needed to probably have a resounding level of public trust. So, yeah, it's on a silver platter right now for Democrats. And to see that poll, I think you're right, Crystal. It's interesting that it's not like a five-point lead, an eight-point lead, let alone a ten-point lead.

31:25Emily Jashinsky:Crazy. All right, well, let's talk a little bit more about the gentleman who was one of the most influential in pushing for this disastrous war. That is Lindsey Graham.

34:08Emily Jashinsky:Very excited to be joined now the day after Lindsey Graham's funeral by Alex Holder, documentary filmmaker, who actually had the opportunity to follow Lindsey Graham in the course of making this yet-to-be-released documentary. Four and a half years? Is that how long you spent with him? Yeah, four and a half years, yeah. That is incredible. And we just were talking before we went to air about how you were flying back and forth between Los Angeles and Washington, D.C. So you must have seen so much kind of through Lindsey Graham's eyes, oddly enough, over the last very consequential period in American politics, before the 2024 election even.

34:42Emily Jashinsky:You watched all of that through Lindsey Graham's eyes. How caught off guard were you by what happened? I think the thing that caught me off guard the most was really the amount of access that we got, right? I mean, he was generous in that respect, which was definitely something that I wasn't expecting. I mean, I think we had intended there to be something more substantial than, you know, just sort of seeing people shake hands and that kind of thing. I think this was, it was just totally remarkable that we were going into meetings and into, you know, sort of high level conversations that we were capturing.

35:16So that was definitely something that I wasn't expecting. But yes, I mean, the amount of things that have happened in the last four and a half years is extraordinary. And he was at the forefront of almost all of these issues. So it was amazing to capture these moments all the way through this process.

35:32Emily Jashinsky:We have a new clip that we can show folks here. This is the late Senator Graham talking about his work with Benjamin Netanyahu and the ICC. Let's take a look.

35:46Emily Jashinsky:Right.

36:23Emily Jashinsky:Right, the original action. Exactly, exactly.

36:54Emily Jashinsky:I tell you, the perfect person would be the speaker, Speaker Johnson. Would be what? Speaker Johnson.

37:06Emily Jashinsky:What he would do, he would get the other people to? No, to have him on the letter.

37:18I don't know.

37:19Emily Jashinsky:I won't know that I'll try. But I will try. I promise you that. Well, a lot to talk about just based on that clip alone, because your level of access is extraordinary, clearly. And Lindsey Graham is not just any other senator. This is a man who has a deep personal relationship with the prime minister of Israel in wartime and with the president of the United States. And so you are seeing foreign policy be hashed out in real time as you're taping this documentary. One thing I just want to start with, he looks diminished to me physically in that clip alone. So do you remember when that was taken?

37:51Emily Jashinsky:And did you get a sense that maybe all of this travel, the stress of the travel had started to wear on him before he passed? Yeah, so this particular clip, it was actually a stressful period. He was campaigning in Ohio for the upcoming presidential election. He had just come from a rally with Don Jr. and so we were in rural Ohio and we actually stopped off because he needed to go to the toilet and he comes out and we're sort of filming all the way, you know, all of this, except when he goes to the toilet. And then he says, you know, the prime minister is about to call. And, you know, honestly, we don't even know which prime minister is about to call, right?

38:28Heads of state would be calling all the time. Wow. So he says, that's probably good TV. So, you know, he really wanted this stuff captured. It wasn't just, you know, sort of by the, I mean, it was always by the by in the sense of there were days where, you know, we'd be filming and not that many interesting things would happen. And then there were days, and then we'd actually get quite upset because we started getting greedy. Like, you know, these things were happening quite often. But then there were times where, yeah, the Prime Minister of Israel would call. So I think he was, you know, under pressure, but not so, maybe in the context of the election more than sort of all the traveling he was doing.

39:01later in the process, there was signs of him really being quite tired and also sort of mentally tired as well from all the things he was dealing with. Yeah, absolutely.

39:12Emily Jashinsky:Yeah, that is interesting because it caught everybody off guard. His death obviously caught everybody off guard. But when you look back on it, it did seem like there were signs he was getting older and he was traveling to Ukraine right before he passed and so much travel to Israel. I do want to show some clips here from the funeral. So this is president, by the way, we have the program from the funeral right here. I mentioned this earlier in the show, but somebody gave this to me on the condition that we talk about how weird Sean Hannity's eulogy was to be charitable. So we're going to take a listen to the president himself first.

39:47Emily Jashinsky:Let's listen to B3. This is Donald Trump at Lindsey Graham's funeral yesterday. Heated things got in Washington. Virtually everyone, Republican or Democrat, liked Lindsay. Well, not everybody, but it sounds good. Not everybody. He was a tough cookie. Okay. I have to be, I have to veer from this first. He was a tough cookie, darling, but he was beautiful. Our nation needs more men and women like that great person sitting, laying wherever he may be. I think I know where he is, and I think he's up there. I think he's watching us. I'm pretty sure of it. He was extremely hawkish. I will tell you, he never saw a war that he didn't like.

40:32Only his true friends would understand that.

40:34Emily Jashinsky:All right, now let's take a listen to Fox News host Sean Hannity, who was a close friend of Senator Graham's, and this is a bit from his eulogy. Lindsey, Mr. President, I would argue in my mind, probably has a heavenly version of Mar-a-Lago. It may even be a little bigger. He may have a little more gold in the Oval Office in his mansion in heaven. And I wouldn't be surprised if he added one big, beautiful ballroom and an arch somewhere on the property. Because he would want to obviously duplicate his dearest friend in life, you, Mr. President. A couple of other quotes from the Hannity eulogy. Senator Graham was great for ratings.

41:17Emily Jashinsky:He was a shameless self-promoter. Nobody ever said LindseyGraham.com more than he did. He at one point turned to Tim Scott and said he always knew you had much higher poll numbers than him, but he respected that. He was happy for you, I think, is what the rest of the Hannity comment was. So just wanted to get your reaction, Alex, to what happened yesterday. Having spent so much time with Lindsey Graham, what do you think he would have felt about the funeral proceedings? No big surprises, I suppose. No, I mean, I think he probably is actually surprised that President Trump almost stayed entirely on script, which I think is actually quite unique.

41:51Right. and also surprisingly was probably actually quite a good speech, I think, actually, in the context of things. Maybe not the highest bar to reach, I don't know. But either way, I think he would have been surprised by that. As to whether or not he's in Mar-a-Lago or a great in Mar-a-Lago right now, I don't know. But, yeah, I mean, look, you know, he was a consequential politician and incredibly controversial, complicated, and I think that his impact was enormous. And there will be lots of people who will see this documentary and see some of the very serious issues that are affecting America and the world today, him being very influential in those decisions.

42:37And there'll be some people who support those decisions. But what the documentary does is it really shows how it was all done and a real behind the scenes of this process, which I think personally is fascinating.

42:53Emily Jashinsky:It's funny to me that, you know, I didn't even notice that the Hannity eulogy was that odd because I think if you followed Lindsey Graham closely, you did realize that there was a kind of shamelessness that he was comfortable with when it came to fundraising, when it came to promoting Republicans. I mean, there's this clip going around now of him at a Blake Masters fundraiser. And Blake Masters is a very, very different kind of Republican from Lindsey Graham. And Lindsey Graham said, I'll support any Republican. I just want to get him elected. And some people might look at that and say it's kind of cynical power politics.

43:26Emily Jashinsky:But I'm curious what your take is on this. He seemed to really believe in the Republican Party itself, which is kind of an interesting thing these days. There's so much disillusionment about the institutions. But he seemed to be a staunch believer in the GOP as an establishment. Absolutely. And I think there are some moments early on in the documentary that we capture where you see the difficulties that he has with the sort of old school Republican Party and this sort of new Republican Party since President Trump came into it. So I think that's pretty fascinating. And that takes place in the first couple of years of us filming with him.

44:06I think, yeah, he loved being on TV. He absolutely loved it. I mean, I was actually on Meet the Press and I was saying to the presenter there how, you know, almost on every single time he would go on TV, he would send me a text saying, I'm on Meet the Press or I'm on Fox or I'm on Sean Hannity tonight. And, you know, he loved doing it. You know, the number of times we filmed him going from the Senate office into his car, from the car to the studios around the corner. Sometimes he would practice what he was going to say with us. And then I sort of wised up to it. So I said, I know we're not doing this anymore.

44:39And he goes, no, no, it's fine. He goes, because basically you can use this and not have to buy the archive from Fox afterwards. So, you know, he's, you know, he loved it. And he loved doing, you know, saying his piece. And he really didn't, I wouldn't say he didn't care, but the criticisms he was able to sort of brush off quite easily, which I thought was also quite interesting.

45:02Emily Jashinsky:Well, talk to us about his relationship with Donald Trump, because I don't know that there's anybody in the Senate as close to Donald Trump as Lindsey Graham was. And it seemed to me, at least, that they had the rare type of relationship. One thing people get wrong about Donald Trump is that they think he wants you to come in there and just glaze him, say all of the nicest possible things about him and never, ever offer any pushback. But my interpretation of their relationship is that Trump respected Lindsey Graham because he would come in and say, you know, when he disagrees with others, he's still very flattering towards the president, very flattering towards the president.

45:34Emily Jashinsky:But what was the nature of their relationship? And maybe, you know, what people don't understand about his relationship with Trump, too? So I don't give too much away, because there are some really interesting moments here. But, you know, they did have a good relationship. Overall, he did respect Trump very much. But I think that respect was very much in the context of understanding that Trump is the president and pushing against him is not good for you if you want to stay in what he calls the game. So he will move wherever he needs to move to maintain his relevance and to push his agenda. The other thing I'll say that was very important was really golf.

46:15The importance of golf in their relationship was absolutely enormous. I mean, the amount of influence or the amount of things he could push towards President Trump took place on the golf course. And I think that was key in their relationship. So, you know, the number of times, again, he would say that he was playing golf with Trump and he would send pictures or selfies of him. Sometimes he would put it on social media as well. So he, you know, he absolutely that was key in their relationship. We have some moments in a documentary of them speaking, and it's fascinating to hear those conversations.

46:53So, but one of the things that, you know, he did with respect to Trump is sometimes he would say to try and push back against issues that he didn't agree with with President Trump. He would say, well, if you do that, that's sort of what President Obama would do. Wow. And that would, you know, change his thinking in some respects. Oh, absolutely. He was really, again, controversial, no question, but smart at being able to push his agendas. Yeah, absolutely.

47:21Emily Jashinsky:Let's take a look here at more. This is going to be B2. Get your reaction on the other side. Y 'all should fucking pay me for all this. I should get tons of shekels. Yeah, bullshit. It's going to be more than dinner. All right, we got them both. So they both want to do the letter. Yeah, no, I'm, so here's why I'm calling you. I'm trying to get out the door Wednesday, Washington time. So send me over whatever you want to send. They want to say two things. They want to say you should reconsider not talking to Israel. You should talk to them. And two, you should move ahead until this case. The cloud is lifted.

48:00Emily Jashinsky:So slow down. No, and both of them are. Yeah, but but here's what I need you. Yeah, yeah, no, I am. I just want to, yeah, but I want you tomorrow. Yeah, that's right.

48:25Yeah, just send it to me. We'll send it at first. But I do need you, if you don't mind tomorrow, to call Blumenthal and Carden

48:34Emily Jashinsky:and thank them for being fair-minded on this and also thanked them for trying to help with Saudi-Israel normalization.

48:47He said he'd get me in the second row at the White House signing ceremony. That'd be my favorite, yeah.

48:53Emily Jashinsky:Alex, what did we just listen to? What was that? So that was the subsequent call that he has with the Prime Minister of Israel after essentially calling around various senators to get them to support a letter that would support the prime minister of Israel in pushing against his, at the time, pending arrest warrant. I think that the arrest warrant had been issued by the prosecutor and it was now about to be looked at by a panel of judges. And there was a judge that had resigned, another judge had come in. So it was before it was actually issued, I believe. And this was a letter to support the prime minister in what he felt was an unfair prosecution against him and others in Israel.

49:32And I think what was very interesting was in the earlier call that I think we just heard, the prime minister is really pushing for Democrats to be on this letter.

49:43Emily Jashinsky:Yes. And what I thought was very interesting during this moment was that he was calling a Republican to help him with that, which I thought was quite, quite interesting. And then send it to Graham and spend some time doing, trying to find these Democrats that would support this letter. And then he has this conversation with the prime minister afterwards. And a little colour here, the prime minister is actually chairing a, at the time, a security meeting in the midst of the Gaza war. So he's actually been pulled out of this meeting to discuss this issue, which I think is pretty extraordinary. Yeah.

50:19And, you know, Senator Graham would help people that he was friendly with. But it also had to coincide and align with his own goals. And Senator Graham had been pushing for a very long time a deal with Saudi Arabia and Israel, some sort of normalization. Right. And, you know, Prime Minister Netanyahu was not particularly interested in prioritizing that. So in that conversation, Senator Graham was really, he had won over the prime minister. He had helped him out. So now he expected something in return. The thing in return would have been, I want you to agree on effectively saying thank you to these senators.

51:04So he was instructing the prime minister to say thank you to the senators of signing it, and specifically on their interest in building this normalization between Saudi and Israel. So, yeah. And then you can also hear the sort of the jokiness of their friendship as well in that conversation. But yeah, I think that was a very interesting part of the behind the scenes of the diplomatic approaches that they have with each other.

51:28Emily Jashinsky:And assuming, of course, that he would tell Prime Minister Netanyahu that they're being taped before these conversations. I have no idea what he did beforehand. So presumably, I guess, well, it's possible that Netanyahu didn't know that he had a documentary film crew with him? I would say that's probably the case, yeah. Oh my gosh, that's wild. What did you learn about Washington over the course of this documentary? Because Senator Graham himself embodied a lot of old Washington, and people saw him as a bridge between old Washington and new Washington. You know, he voted against Ketanji Brown Jackson after voting to confirm every other Democrat's Supreme Court nominations.

52:09Emily Jashinsky:And in that sense was kind of a new it was it was a new chapter for old Washington. But he was also someone who Netanyahu could call to try and get Democrats on the letter, for example. So he's an insight into the way the city itself worked and works now. What did you learn? So I think he, from what I understand, really was quite a standout in the sort of D.C. world. He was totally wedded to the job, right? I mean, 24 hours, seven days a week. I mean, there was no respite. He was absolutely working very, very hard. I actually think he found, well, think, as in there were moments where he was really quite disappointed that his colleagues didn't spend as much time as him on these issues that he thought was incredibly important and was frustrated by this and felt under pressure.

52:57I think he was, I mean, honestly, more consequential than almost all of the other senators, at least from what I understand in terms of his relationships with other world leaders, his relationships with President Trump. So in some respects, he was quite a unique person in Washington, D.C. And I think we will see the impact of his death with respect to some foreign policy decisions that are made in the future without question.

53:23Emily Jashinsky:How is he keeping up with his correspondence? Like even just the fact that he's texting you about all of the Fox News hits that he was doing, which is a lot. He must have been getting inundated constantly with text messages, calls. That just sounds like maybe a silly question, but it seems to me like as a United States senator, you have a massive job. That's overwhelming. And yet he's making time to text you about a Fox News hit. But what did you get from just or what did you sense the demand was on him from people trying to, you know, cut deals, talk to him? He's manipulating. He's constantly talking to media, including yourself.

53:57Emily Jashinsky:What did you see just on his phone, basically? So a few things. One is that the best stuff that we actually got with him was when he's in the car or traveling. And I think that was really kind of his office, the car, the phone calls, the texts. that he would dictate his tweets to his staff from the car. And he was discerning, though, with the people he responded to. It all had to fit a particular agenda. So if somebody was talking to him about issues that he didn't think were particularly important, a lot of the time, say, some domestic issues, those would be not prioritised. And then I think also, obviously, he would prioritize the leaders that were texting him.

54:44And they were. I mean, literally, wild leaders texting his mobile phone directly.

54:51Emily Jashinsky:Unbelievable. For you, that just must have been a wild ride. My last question, I could keep doing this all day, but my last question is, where were you when you found out he had passed? And how did that hit you just on a personal level? It hit hard on a personal level in the sense that you are spending time with somebody for four and a half years. and it was a shock. I was in Europe, actually, when I found out. And my sort of initial reaction really was actually immense sympathy to his staff. His staff were his family, obviously his sister, but we knew his staff pretty well. And I think they, and I know that they were massively heartbroken by him passing away.

55:33So they took care for him over many, many years. Some of his staff had been with him since they were teenagers. I mean, he's had people that have worked for him for three decades. So I think that was sort of my initial reaction was how they would be. But yeah, I mean, it is terribly sad when anyone dies, I think. And it was a shock.

55:57Emily Jashinsky:Actually, I do have one more question because you saw his security apparatus probably up close as well. And even some kind of moderates here in the United States, people who were aligned with him, very hawkish, had suspicions immediately that this must have been a Russian operation or that it may have been a Russian operation because he had just been in Ukraine, just gotten back from Ukraine. So was there some type of espionage and some type of assassination effort? But you saw, you would have seen his security, how he traveled. What did you make of some of those concerns? And what can you tell us about how secure he was as he was traveling?

56:28I mean, I don't think there was any nefarious thing that happened with respect to his death. I think that there were changes in his security, depending on the various things that were happening in the world at the time. So he would notice that? Yeah, absolutely. Oh, absolutely. Yeah.
