The following is a transcript of an interview with Sen. Lindsey Graham, Republican of South Carolina, on "Face the Nation" that aired on June 9, 2024.

Let's help them win a war we can't afford to lose. Let's find a solution to this war. But they're sitting on a gold mine. To give Putin 10 or $12 trillion for critical minerals that he will share with China is ridiculous.

    Biden administration, they did not impose pre-invasion sanctions to deter Putin

    Didn't the US ban Russian ammo imports in 2021? I seem to remember there were other sanctions around that time too?

    They didn't give weapons to Ukraine early on to deter Putin

    Eight years of flooding Ukraine with NATO weapons, CIA outposts and cash for the nazi warchest didn't count?

    There's $300 billion sitting in Europe from Russian sovereign wealth, assets that we should seize

    Not sure what that word even means anymore.

    Making Russia a state sponsor of U.S.- state sponsor of terrorism under U.S. law would be a very big blow to Russia.

    Ooh! Make them Hamas, too. That will really show them!

    It's now time to give them the F-16s, let them fly the planes, long range artillery to hit targets inside of Russia. Go after Putin's assets, wherever they're at, all over the world. Go on the offensive. I think this summer

    WW4 just got a release date.

    SEN. TOMMY TUBERVILLE (R-AL): He doesn't want Ukraine. He doesn't want Europe. Hell, he- he's got enough land of his own. He just wants to make sure that he does not have United States weapons in Ukraine pointing at Moscow.

    Least insane US politician

    We celebrated the 80th anniversary of D-Day. It was a failure.

    Of course it was a failure, you ... <checks notes> ... forgot to invite the people who saved Europe's ass.

    If you don't stop [Putin], there goes Taiwan.

    There are uncontacted tribes in Brazil that understand geopolitics better than this sack of shit

    They could be the richest country in all of Europe.

    that 10 to $12 trillion of critical mineral assets could be used by Ukraine and the West

    There it is. Ukraine: The Congo of Europe. Now with 20% more western coups!

    Hamas would kill everybody here if they could get here

    It's always projection

    These are the most dangerous times since the '30s.

    Getting an F- in history of the time you were alive is super embarassing

    the Biden administration deported, expelled or repatriated more than 740,000 people, which they say is more than any year since 2010.

    That's telling. Wonder who was running the mass deportation show back in 2010...

    We're living on borrowed time when it comes to another 9/11

    Finally some good news
