Follow and listen on your favorite platform. people to just stop from saying very dumb things when someone maybe you disagree with politically has died i don't i don't get it just say condolences if you don't like the person you could just say nothing but people cannot help themselves now beyond that because i talked about that earlier someone the radical left said good written like you could just not say anything At least for a couple of days. For God's sake. Well, the team with the most insults wins, they think. Yeah. Unfortunately, social media has brought that out in too many people. But there's this story as well. I got this from the hill. It says Representative Mike Lawler, who's a Republican from New York on Sunday, ripped into Representative Nancy Mace. over what he called a grotesque post about running to succeed Senator Lindsey Graham who died Saturday nights on Nancy Mace who I don't understand Nancy Mace because when she first got elected to the house she was one of those that was like we need to stop this stuff we need to work together she said a lot of great things and then all of a sudden changed she went nuts but Mace apparently posted on on X a clip from the Godfather part three where Al Pacino's Michael Corleone says one of the film's most quoted lines, just when I thought I was out, they pulled me back in. So Mike Lawler replied and said, literally no one is pulling you back in. This post is grotesque, taking glee over the potential of becoming a senator because of a vacancy created by a sudden death of your colleague, is vile, completely unfit to serve. So Nancy Mace lost a primary anyway. She's going to be out soon. She wants to run for Senate now. I mean, can't wait a day to talk? I just, I don't know. I don't know how social media has done this to our brains. I know politics already does a lot of this to our brains, but, man, social media does as well. No, it was the COVID injections. Okay, okay, maybe it was that, yeah, okay. I really, that changed everybody. I guess so. You are listening to Yaffe Live, second hour of the show here on Talk Radio 102.3, The Talk Monster. It's also Monday in the 2 o'clock hour. Let's get right to it the Sunday. New shows recap.
Recapping what happened on those Sunday news talk shows like NBC's Meet the Press, Fox News Sunday, and others. So you don't have to worry about it. You take Sunday off. I recap it for you on Sundays so you can relax. See, I got it wrong. I recap it for you Mondays so you can relax Sunday mornings. Captain Max watches reruns of Bonanza now. He's moved on from Gunsmoke. Dale Jackson watches Hallmark movies. I don't know why. He has just decided that's what he's going to do. So whatever. And it's a public service to you. It's free of charge to you. You can listen to it free. And I don't accept any taxpayer dollars to do it. Just so you know. All right. So obviously the sudden and tragic death of Senator Lindsey Graham from South Carolina is one of the big topics. And President Donald Trump, who there were rivals in the beginning, big rivals. When Trump first ran, they became almost best friends. Apparently they played golf all the time. They had worked together on some things. He was a big ally of Trump. And President Trump, you can tell, was pretty shocked by the news. But he had talked about it and talked about Lindsey Graham's legacy when he was on Meet the Press on Sunday. So here's Trump. Well, thank you. He's a tough one to lose. He was great. He was unique in every way, actually. He was, Mr. President, and I know that we are all just absorbing this news. We are all in shock. Can you tell us, Mr. President, how you receive this news and your immediate gut reaction when you heard it? So what makes it even stranger is that I got a call last night sometime, you know, the early evening, maybe in the sevens. And he called, and he said, we're all set for the Save America Act. He was pushing the Save America Act like crazy. He got back, said he just landed from Ukraine. I said, that's a long trip to make it. He sounded a little tired, but perfect, but a little bit tired. I had a right to be. And he was a worker. He was really a worker. But he sounded great, actually. But he was, he actually said he was tired. But he wanted to pass the Save America Act. And I said, well, we're going to get it done, Lindsay. We're going to get it done. I'll see you like soon. We thought we might even meet today. And then that was it. And that was, you know, very around the time. It couldn't have been much longer. It could have been his last call. I don't know exactly. But I got a message about 1 o'clock in the morning from one of the people at his office that he had passed away. I said, you can't believe it. He was like a member of the family to me. It's very tough, actually. And you can tell this is very heartfelt. You can tell it's very genuine, almost surreal in Trump's voice. You can. I mean, because he literally talked to him maybe an hour before. And that's got to be pretty shocking to be one of the last people to talk to him. And of course, he was working until the end, Lindsey Graham. Now, if you're curious, my take on Lindsey Graham's legacy, I talked about it earlier on in the show. Obviously, I had my disagreements with him like anyone else. But the Brett Kavanaugh thing was his best moment, which I think Trump's going to mention here. And I actually agreed with him more than not when it came to foreign policy. A lot of people hated that he was a hawk. I appreciated it, honestly.
Here's more from Trump. He loved his work, Mr. President. I hear you saying that in this final conversation that you have emblematic, he was tireless, but it brought him such joy, didn't it? There was nobody like him. He loved being a politician, and he was going to win his election. He was going to win it big. I endorsed him very early, and he was going to win it big. He just had it made, and he just loved being a politician. I said, the reason I'm endorsing you is because I've got to make sure you win, because if you didn't win, I don't think you could handle life. I really don't. He was a man, you know, there are guys they can lose, and they go into something else. I can't imagine doing anything else. I said, if you weren't a U.S. Senator, I don't know if you could live very long, and look what happens. He was going to have a big victory. And the people loved him. Everybody loved him. Well, no, he had some enemies. He was a tough cookie. Don't misunderstand. He was a tough cookie in many ways. If he wanted to get something, if he thought he was right and he had people against him, he could be very tough, actually. But he was a good person. By the way, you talk about sometimes you can judge someone based on the quality of their enemies. Just look at the people coming out today. Saying things like good riddance. It's the worst people in politics. It's the pro-Palestinian types. It's the radical right as well who want to be isolationists. It's all of that stuff. I mean, the worst people saying the worst things are the people you would expect, which to me shows the quality of who Lindsey Graham was. Here's more from Donald Trump. You know, he had to find moments. His moment on Brett Kavanaugh was one of the classics, I think, in the history of the Senate. His moment was literally, I mean, literally one of the great classics of anyone in the Senate when he defended Brett Kavanaugh so brilliantly. And Brett might not have made it except for that. They were treating him very unfairly, good man. They treated him so unfairly. And Lindsay was so angry at the Senate because of it. And he had a really an emotional moment. And I think that saved Brett Kavanaugh's Supreme Court, you know, ascension. He... Lindsay did something that he was just so angry at the way Brett was being treated by the Democrats. It was so unfair. By the way, he might be right. And I played those cuts from that Brett Kavanaugh thing earlier on in the show. I probably played during, at least part of it, during the Monster Rewind later on. But he was right. Now, I know, I know I'm going to get a bunch of texts coming in. I'm going to hear a bunch of the what about Trumps, and I have to say you're not wrong. This is why I get on Trump when he acts low, also on social media, because the way he treated Rob Reiner when he died was the exact wrong way. And I said at the time, I was heavily critical at the time. I don't know why it's so hard in our, in today's world, to just not do that. It doesn't seem that difficult.
But if you want to weigh in, you can. We have the text monster. 423-267-1023. 4-2-67-1023. There is some breaking news on the Lindsey Graham stuff, which I'll get to in a couple of minutes. We have more of the Sunday news shows recap. Obviously, more reaction to the death, sudden tragic death of Lindsey Graham, but also the latest in Iran as the ceasefire. I'm always reluctant to say the ceasefire is over. Because I don't really know when it started. I don't. It's called a ceasefire. And I really can't remember a time when the sides ceased firing. So I don't, I'm always reluctant to say, oh, it's over. Did it really ever even start? So you can weigh in on that as well. We'll be back here in just a moment on Yeffy Live.
