Senator Lindsey Graham Death, Heart Failure and Conspiracy Theories
Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina passed away at age 71 following what his office described as a brief and sudden illness. While media reports initially speculated on causes ranging from foreign assassination to vaccine side effects, the discussion focuses on Graham's family history of heart disease, noting his father died of heart failure at 68. Donald Trump reportedly spoke with Graham shortly before his death, noting the Senator sounded tired but otherwise fine.

00:00 30 tons?! Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak It's Sunday July 12th 2026 this is your award-winning Kidmon Nation Media Assassination episode 1885 This is no agenda IP Lady G we're sad and we're broadcasting live from the swanky southern district of Amsterdam The Netherlands In the morning everybody I'm Adam Curry And from northern Silicon Valley where were all wondering who killed Lindsey Graham? I'm John C. Dvorak It's Crackpot and Buzzkill! In the morning. You know, it was a little bit of a shock to me I'm sure everyone had that feeling Like this is not the guy you...you know we're all waiting for Mitch McConnell the croak Sorry if i put it that crudely Well he may...Mitch McConnell may have been dead for weeks Exactly We don't even know that
00:50 They have to keep that a secret because of the politics of Kentucky which is run by a Democrat governor and if he dies... Then the governor gets to put in whoever he wants? Is that how it works? Yes. Oh no, me neither! So they keep that under wraps everyone's like oh I've had long chat with him. Oh yeah 20 minutes. I had a long chat with him, he's doing great And so, they got it. There's some deadline where after I think August 15th... At some point in August, maybe it's the first. At some point in August... They can't change it? If he dies after that then they have to do a... They let it slide till the election or something along those lines So if they're worried sick their gonna... Oh! That makes so much sense because I was wondering...I hadn't considered Kentucky. I didn't know Kentucky had a Democrat governor Yeah Bashir, the famous Bashir. Bashir that's right Well
01:47 So when I heard this very early here, most people were asleep probably. And it's always great how many people think that I don't know that Lindsey Graham died. My goodness! Everybody, in case you hadn't heard... In case you hadn't heard… I appreciate it but… Well they figure you're in Europe and not news in Europe? No one here cares but I do because for as much We laughed about him, you know Lady G. Lindy hop I think at one point we even had a trigger warning Didn't we have a Lindsey Graham trigger war and remember an Instagram trigger warning but let me say it would be something we do I have the view trigger warning I'm sure we had it let me see Lindsay or Lind I betcha we had that or would it be Graham?
02:41 I looked for end of show mixes. Graham! Here, oh here we go. Listen i believe in a one china policy but i would be willing to fight for Taiwan Okay, not quite a trigger warning. Not quite. It says trigger warning but it wasn't what I thought it was. So there's the way...I'm looking at this as the possibility. We know about the pricker and different ways you can induce a heart attack and so that suspects If he was killed, it could be Iran. It could be Russia. It could be China based on that last clip you just played. It also could be the Vax. No! And in my opinion it was genetics. I can't believe that you missed the obvious. Which is what? Exploding microphone
03:36 Come on. The genetics is the key that's not, no one's discussing genetics. His dad as a former hospital patient in the heart wards they think they keep coming around do you have any heart disease in your family? In your family, your mom, your dad blah blah but they go on and make a big fuss about it. Lindsey Graham's father died of heart failure at 68 Yeah, that will do it wouldn't it now? Well. That's how I comes razor. That's the easiest explanation yeah I mean we'd all like to think he was killed by the Iranians who had you know headed out for him But no to what end though to what end like as a message somehow What would the point be?
04:24 It would be no point. If you don't claim it... There's no point in killing Lindsey Graham No, in fact the conspiracy theorists are fun to listen too but there is no point. It was genetics plain and simple I'm with you! I saw his last appearance there with Zelensky and he didn't look that great He looked a little more stooped over Well he's tired of your craning back Yeah. The guy's beat himself up, I'm surprised he got to 71 Well anyway here's just... So we have it on record one of the first reports that came out at this hour We have just learned in the last few moments that Senator Lindsey Graham from the state of South Carolina has died at the age of 71 His staff said in a brief statement posted to social media just late tonight That the senator suffered from a brief illness and then passed away This was un- This by the way was annoying
05:20 A brief and sudden illness. I mean, couldn't they just say a heart attack? Well later this morning as the reports came in, the later ones just before the show They all talked about cardiac arrest Yeah because someone heard that on police scanner That's what that was Well, that makes a little more sense than a sudden illness. Yes! Yeah... well that's why can't you just say he had a heart attack? Why so cryptic about it? A sudden and brief and sudden illness I guess technically That was the press release that's the problem Well that was from his office That came from From his office yeah that was odd I mean why won't you say had a heart attack? Well thats annoying It's annoying It's annoying If i die of a heart attack
06:08 Tell everybody it was the Russian Pricker right away. Put out a good release! Well, definitely... So here's I got a couple of shorties here from CNN We're learning that longtime Republican Senator Lindsey Graham has passed away His office says he died on Saturday night after what they call a brief and sudden illness The statement says Graham's family is asking for privacy at this time He represented the state of South Carolina in the US Congress since 1995. Let's bring in CNN's Alex Michelson, anchor of The Story Is. Alex you are on the west coast there how are you processing this news that has just come in? The shocking death of a senator who had just been in Ukraine and had just met
06:54 With the Ukrainian president and now we're learning he has died. I love that He was just in Ukraine and now he's dead Howard How do you what? What are you feeling? What is this how are you feeling in this moment there so this coming out of nowhere? No, that Lindsey Graham one of the most important and influential voices in the United States Senate for many years Now this is what kind of sickening I mean, we'll be honest about it. We were kind of annoyed by Lindsey Graham He was a warmonger he always wanted to bomb everything and want to kill everybody He seemed to like killing and somehow we had affection for him But you know but I don't hear many people just coming out and saying hey man. He was kind of a crazy warmonger
07:43 You know what I mean? No, they're not going to do that. Why wouldn't they? One of the most influential voices in the Senate. Speak ill of the dead! They'll get to that later maybe... Nah, I don't think so. Not the way we can do it. Well he is... He did represent the military-industrial complex as good as you can get. As good as it gets I mean, yes! Absolutely. Somebody who has been one of the biggest champions of more United States military intervention... There it is. ...somebody who has championed the idea of military intervention in Iran for many years, somebody was championing the United States relationship with Israel very closely for many years
08:24 And now all of a sudden, you know there's been so much conversation about Mitch McConnell's medical reality right now. Nobody would have thought this would come now. Who, what happens now? As we all I think are just in shock at the idea that Lindsey Graham has suddenly died and also reflecting on a life of decades of public service. And he was just in Ukraine, he was just meeting with Ukrainian president. What did he accomplish on that trip and assuming from what we saw in all of the videos, the statements that he was making. He appeared to be in very good health just an unusual form there is certainly no outward indication if there was anything physically wrong his office saying this was a very brief
09:15 sudden and brief illness, they said in their statement. And we don't know what that means because he was posting about President Trump's trip to NATO and conversations that he was having with folks about that like two days ago so how brief was this illness? We don't know what exactly that means. Is that a heart attack? At this point, I think a lot of it would be speculation to try to think about that but yeah, Lindsey Graham by every indication was working up until the very last day and certainly putting out a public image that there were no issues at all
09:59 Supposedly President Trump spoke to him at 7 o'clock last night getting ready for the actually according to is he was on meet the press this morning Yeah, that's what I heard and Lin. Yeah, I heard that I watched it like could have clipped it But it was yeah just trump you know trump with a bad with a bad phone connection had some kind of buzz in its really bad and Lindsey Graham was scheduled to do the show today yes which is the funny thing and Trump said he sounded fine. He talked to him at 7 last night and then they died maybe around 830 I may have been the last guy To talk well, he's obviously somebody in the house talked to him but um And he says he sounded fine except he was tired yeah
