Trump During Call with CNN: Lindsey Graham Was Becoming Strong on the SAVE Act, I Think He Was Going To Be There Very Strongly on the Filibuster

‘He was fine other than being tired, he was fine’

RUSH EXCERPT:
TRUMP: "Well, we disagreed a little bit. But overall, you know, I‘m I‘m a big Israel person. He was certainly that, uh, I was, uh, I wanted to see the war with Ukraine end a very quickly. I think he was more into, you know, keeping it going. Frankly, he was he was very, very militant having to do with that. But I was I was from the standpoint of 25, 000 people dying every month. I didn‘t like that. And, uh, he was very much he was a very strong military person. So am I, but I think we used it a little bit differently. We probably had a little bit of a different attitude, but we got along on it. Essentially. We agreed and essentially we agreed on almost everything where he was really becoming strong was to save America act. I was he was really and I think he was going to be there very, very strongly on the filibuster. He was against terminating the filibuster. And I think he was doing that because he said, we have a budget coming up and we have debt ceiling coming up. And the Democrats will, you know, they they‘re deranged in many ways, and they‘re not going to be able to do it. So he was he was coming aboard, I think, for the filibuster, terminating the filibuster. But before we did that, he was going to he was a strong advocate for save America. And that‘s what he called me about last night. I mean, I think of it, I spoke to him just he had already landed. He was probably at his place. I don‘t know where he was, but, uh, I spoke to him, and then I got a call a few hours later saying late in the evening, at 2:00 in the morning, actually. But they found out about it, I think about 8:00 about his problem. But, uh, so it had to be something very quick because he was fine other than being tired, he was fine."
