First 90 secondsAnthony Scaramucci· Host0:01
[upbeat music] Welcome to The Rest is Politics, US. I am Anthony Scaramucci with Katty Kay. Katty, how are you? You look like you're in a television studio.
Katty Kay· Host0:18
Yeah, I'm, I've just stepped right out of a television studio. But I'm a little disappointed in your T-shirt, Anthony, 'cause you have a T-shirt saying World. The only T-shirt anyone can be wearing right now is this T-shirt. I have an England T-shirt. I was just wearing it on Morning Joe.
Anthony Scaramucci· Host0:31
Well, I have a, I have a vintage jersey from 1990.
Katty Kay· Host0:35
Then you need to be putting that on, and you do not need to take it off between now and Wednesday. You're now with us. You're on Team England, Anthony.
Anthony Scaramucci· Host0:43
I got bullied a little bit by Alastair Campbell, but I'm gonna put it on next time you see me. So here's what we're gonna talk about today. We're gonna talk about Lindsey Graham and the unfortunate, uh, and untimely tragic death of Lindsey Graham, but also what it means for the party, but who Lindsey Graham was, and actually what he represented, uh, to the Republicans, and what the arc of his political career was, uh, 31 years in the Senate. And then we'll talk a little bit about ICE, Katty. I wanna talk about the situation where, uh, we've got a lot of immigrant communities in intense scrutiny, and even though it's dialed down from a media perspective, uh, the president and his team are still going after people, uh, and it's put the United States on the Human Rights Watch list. So those are gonna be the two big topics we're gonna talk about.
