00:00:00.000We are announcing, we've announced earlier today, we're running our constituents, our voters, our support people, our campaign people have all prayed and we're ready to go.
00:00:15.620It's not another seat to go try to run for like a lot of career politicians are showing us, jumping into this race all of a sudden.
00:00:22.060And we're focused on this one race, and we have been from the beginning, to bring a true conservative Republican back to the U.S. Senate seat for South Carolina's voice in D.C.
00:00:33.740Well, we're asking for Donald Trump's endorsement. We're asking for McMaster to endorse us and Tim Scott and the Republican Party to come forward.
00:00:43.400And, you know, that would make the most logical sense. I'm the second guy. I lost to Lindsey by a little bit.
00:00:52.060and I think our results were even better than it showed, but we're still in it, and we're a true
00:00:58.660conservative campaign. I'm here to be America first and support God-fearing policies and support
00:01:06.620the Constitution and get rid of all this nonsense stuff we're doing, like we can't get a SAVE Act
00:01:12.480passed. That's crazy. We're still fighting with illegal immigrants in this country. We've got to
00:01:19.500get them deported. We've got to fund ICE and our military and our first responders everywhere that
00:01:25.980are doing such a great job. We have to end transgender mutilation surgeries of our children.1.00
00:01:32.820You know, we have to ban the sale of our land to China and stop all these data centers and1.00
00:01:39.000everything that's coming up and the solar farms that's taking our land and destroying it. And
00:01:43.780we're losing our country. It's a pivotal point, Alex, you know that. That's why you have your
00:01:48.360show. We've got to have people that are real, that'll fight for America and focus on America
00:01:53.920first. Real time, uncensored, unstoppable. AlexJonesLive.com. Take a stand. Share the link.
00:02:05.580Do you want to fight? You better believe you got one. All right. This is just in breaking on Fox
00:02:11.980right now. As we speak, the governor is set to announce the interim replacement for Lindsey
00:02:21.720Graham at 4 p.m. Eastern today in South Carolina. With Graham dead, races are on for both temporary
00:02:30.040and permanent Senate successors. A scramble for power has already begun after Lindsey Graham's
00:02:37.000death. Was Lindsey Graham poisoned? Why Iran and Russia are at the center of conspiracy theories?
00:02:46.980Lindsey Graham likely died of aorta tear, medical examiner says.
00:02:55.300Trump shares the tales from phone call to Lindsey Graham just moments before he died
00:02:59.160suddenly. Trump says he has a preferred successor in mind for Lindsey Graham's Senate seat,
00:03:05.720won't name candidate yet, but we're about to find out, or will the governor do what Trump wants?
00:03:14.860Now they're saying McConnell released a photo and statement of it, hospitalization, health mystery.
00:03:19.360It's totally fake, but now they're saying they didn't release it. We're going to be getting to
00:03:24.000that coming up a little bit later, but why, why does President Trump work with Graham when he
00:03:30.100hated him so much? Well, he's now buddies with Michael Cohen again, bizarre behavior. Joining
00:03:35.260us for just this one segment, and I appreciate him doing it, is Mark Lynch, a Greenville,
00:03:40.300South Carolina businessman and president of the Jeff Lynch Appliance Center. He was Lindsey
00:03:45.320Graham's top Republican challenger this year for the U.S. Senate primary and came close to forcing
00:03:50.060a runoff. Lynch for Senate dot com. Mark Lynch SC for South Carolina on X. So, Mark, thank you for
00:03:57.100joining us. I know you've got a lot of sources. You're there, you know, obviously with the
00:04:01.940Republican Party system. What is your take on Lindsey's sudden death and what's unfolding?
00:04:09.720And do you have any idea about who they're about to replace him with? And then give us the details
00:04:13.120on when the special election, you believe, will be coming up. And then the big question,
00:04:17.340will you be running for that special election, Mark Lynch?
00:04:21.760Yes, Alex, thank you so much for having me on. We love InfoWars. You know, I saw the news at
00:04:29.300about three o'clock Sunday morning, we had a German shepherd that we had to put to sleep today.
00:04:34.140She's been real bad off. And I got up at three in the morning to check on her. And I looked at my
00:04:41.020phone, got a glass of water and saw the news releases hitting everywhere. And I thought,
00:04:46.540this must be fake news. This can't be happening. But I confirmed it and vetted it and saw it
00:04:51.300everywhere and uh it's a tragic thing and um i i just can't believe how fast we started getting
00:05:00.680calls and texts and emails about are you running again you know we saw this other information about
00:05:06.440other candidates announcing they were going to run and these are the people we want to run and
00:05:10.860it went really fast and um from three in the morning on and then um i found out some things
00:05:18.100about 10 o'clock and our campaign team spoke a little bit about it. Then we went to church and
00:05:23.260got back together around four that afternoon on Sunday and started talking and we prayed about it
00:05:29.500and thought about it. You know, we started this race. God put this race on. He's the owner of
00:05:36.200our campaign. It's the only way we'll get America back great again is bringing God back in his
00:05:41.800rightful position of first place, blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, in Psalm 33.
00:05:49.500And we started this over two years ago. We were blessed, we were prayed over, and we jumped in.
00:05:57.560And so this is a continuance of that race with the obligation we owe to the loyal voters and
00:06:03.360the donors and the prayer warriors out there that have been praying a year and a half while we ran
00:06:08.160this campaign. And God led this charge, and we busted through the walls of Lindsey Graham and
00:06:14.920ended up with 29%. And nobody's ever done that. And so we've been asked to keep going, and we are.
00:06:23.060So we're not just now jumping in the race. And we're, listen, we've prayed for the Graham family.
00:06:28.460It's a tragedy that his sudden death happened. There's a lot of conversation about that. And
00:06:35.440And so we place that family in God's hands for comfort as we all get over this tragic loss to their family, to America, to South Carolina.
00:06:45.140I'll tell you, just running a campaign is a huge sacrifice.
00:06:49.180Serving like he's done over 30 years is a major sacrifice of his life in serving Americans and South Carolinians.
00:06:56.720And so my hat goes off to him for all the work he did and his willingness to serve.
00:07:03.780so we're we are announcing we've announced earlier today we're we're running our constituents our
00:07:13.080voters our support people our campaign people have all prayed and we're we're ready to go and
00:07:18.920this is our mission focus it's always been the focus it's not another seat to go try to run for
00:07:24.420like a lot of career politicians are showing us jumping into this race all of a sudden
00:07:28.600And we're focused on this one race, and we have been from the beginning, to bring a true conservative Republican back to the U.S. Senate seat for South Carolina's voice in D.C.
00:07:42.180I don't like to speak ill of the dead.
00:07:44.500And I, Sunday morning, you know, just simply said that the guys drug us into a bunch of wars.0.98
00:13:01.740And, of course, the whole interview, he goes on about the hurricane and won't talk about the hurricane because he's got to let you know, Israel, Israel, Israel.
00:13:08.340And I don't have a hard on for Israel.0.75
00:13:09.900I'm not anti-Israel, but they now have the Defense Authorization Act to merge with our military, to co-own our weapons.
00:13:18.920What is your policy on Israel as the candidate, the leading candidate to replace Lindsey Graham right now, who came in second place in the recent election just a few weeks ago?
00:13:31.000My policy, again, being America first, and that's our mission focus, it means I work for America and for South Carolinians.
00:13:39.680And Israel doesn't, you know, maybe did pay Lindsay, I don't know.
00:13:44.640But if I get in, I will be working for America.
00:13:47.980That is my oath of office to defend and support America and the America Constitution, the U.S. Constitution, and defend against foreign or domestic enemies.
00:13:57.760And if we have hurricane victims here, that's the family, the people that voted for us that pay our salary as a U.S. senator.
00:14:06.920How can we go around them, step over them and deflect the answer to that question and start talking about Israel right away?
00:14:15.140I mean, that shows me that's a conflicted interest and that doesn't work.
00:14:21.660That's why I put my name in the hat almost two years ago and decided we would run and started praying about this and getting this campaign team together.
00:14:33.020They want the money, the focus, the laws, everything, common sense, integrity, honor, courage to come back and have candidates in office that support their voice and their interest.
00:14:47.940And we have tariff sales all over the place.1.00
00:14:50.060We have 22 million plus illegal immigrants in this country, and we're still having problems with the SAVE Act and all the common sense things we're doing trying to run our country.1.00
00:15:03.680We're losing everything in this country, and people are fed up with it, and so am I.
00:15:08.720And that's why I'm committed to take this on and keep going and finish the promises we started to the people of America and South Carolina.
00:15:17.480We're in this to win it and make a big difference and bring back America first on everything we do.
00:15:25.400Is the website lynchforsenate.com still?
00:15:31.860I want to tell a short story here and get your take on it the time we have left, but it's a very important story.
00:15:36.860Being 52 years old, and I'm still young, but I know how much knowledge I've gained living and seeing how God works and how God works in mysterious ways.
00:15:44.980is a Garth Brooks song where he says, some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers.
00:15:49.800So many times in my life, I just trust God, pray about it, do what the spirit tells me,
00:15:54.440the gut, it's really the spirit. And then the way my mind thought it might work out doesn't
00:15:59.860work out hardly ever, but it works out even better. It just may take longer. There you are,
00:16:05.760even though you were not in debt, successful business, going and getting, I think you said,
00:16:09.380a $5 million loan on top of all your money you put in, putting everything into it. And I noticed
00:16:14.460when you lost, and it was obvious chicanery going on, Jesus is so establishment, you weren't nasty0.88
00:16:20.400about it. You said, God told me to do it and I feel great. And we got some issues out there and0.99
00:16:23.860we're positioned into the future. And then boom, what, three weeks later, he's dead. And you are
00:16:30.300prime position now if people see that, and that's God working in mysterious ways. And that's why a
00:16:35.380lot of people pray for something or they want something. Well, God knows how that's going to
00:16:39.400affect things down the road. If it's not good for you and good for others, then you're not going to
00:16:42.860get that prayer. But if you're in alignment with what God's telling you to do, you're not going to
00:16:47.880be able to understand the mysteries of how God works, but you're going to get to see it work out
00:16:51.580and every bad thing the enemy's done to us. If I just trust God, I'm not claiming I'm like Job,
00:16:56.380I haven't gone through what he went through, but let's just say maybe 5% of it, just to trust God
00:17:01.020and to love God. And then I get to see God work in those mysterious ways. So what was it like when
00:17:07.020you fought so hard and then lost to Graham? The pole showed you way closer than what magically
00:17:12.720happened that day but you know still you were over all the in second place which is a big deal
00:17:17.180with all the money he spent and and the media ignoring you what did it feel like what did god
00:17:23.320tell you what was what was in your mind your spirit yeah we saw all hell come up against us0.92
00:17:30.360with over 50 million dollars spent on us to to keep us from getting in it was a nastiest race
00:17:37.260that we've ever seen in the country is what a lot of people have told me.
00:17:42.180And when it didn't happen and it didn't go to a runoff,
00:17:46.860we felt like there was definitely some election integrity issues
00:17:58.600And there was a day or two of numbness and shock and awe
00:18:03.420about how it turned out really compared to the polling and everything.
00:18:07.260And then we slowly met again. The campaign team met a couple more times and we went through kind of counseling with each other and hugging each other and thanking each other.
00:18:18.160And it's like, well, I guess we gave it our all. And then we were kind of back to normal.
00:18:23.840Saturday afternoon, my wife and I were doing some stuff around the house and
00:18:28.580having lunch and having a good afternoon. And then Sunday morning, this comes up and I wake
00:18:36.240her up at like seven. I said, guess what? Lindsay's passed. And she's like, no way.
00:18:41.740And so that was a numbing thing again, because like, what do we do? You know, and then we went
00:18:47.800into praying for lindsey and the family we went to church and uh everybody's all the gracious
00:18:55.140people and the people the prayer warriors and everybody that supported our campaign came back
00:18:59.660and said we need you please please run again and uh it's overwhelming it's uh and it's a it's a lot
00:19:09.060of work and uh we just had kind of started recovering from all that and we're uh it's not
00:19:15.780something i prayed about uh you know i hope something will happen where we can get in i've
00:19:20.760accepted it and uh but yeah this did happen and it's been a turn of events that's been overwhelming
00:19:27.040and uh you know it's not something i wake up every day and say man i hope i can run for office again
00:19:34.200that was kind of it we made our run and uh we were happy to get back to the grandchildren and
00:19:39.380business and everybody welcomed us back yeah you did your duty but thought you'd done it and now
00:19:45.360oh, sorry, this is really an overtime game.
00:20:13.280When did it click that, wow, God knew what was going to happen and already had positioned you for this, and now that puts you in the prime position?
00:20:27.920But he hasn't even endorsed or helped Mike Lindell, who is 20 points ahead in the Republican polls, a couple points behind, you know, in the race there to win in the general race.
00:20:43.880And if Trump got behind him, he'd win. And you're the populist candidate. You've been a conservative and involved in everything for 30, 40 years.
00:20:51.260Trump needs to endorse you and not some neocon. And I am tired of this.
00:20:56.680I am tired of him going along with his enemies.
00:21:00.720He has endorsed some good people like Paxton over Cornyn, who's now still blocking the Save America Act.
00:21:09.720But so, you know, Trump's spotty on this.
00:21:12.560And I know people like Roger Stone tear their hair out, you know, when he does this.
00:21:17.380But the public needs to put pressure on the Republicans and on Trump to get behind you and you'll win and you'll make an excellent senator.
00:21:24.160So what do you say to President Trump?
00:21:26.680Hey, I still love Trump. He's the president. I can't imagine the pressure he's under and the persecution and the sacrifice he and his family have made over these two terms he's been in.
00:21:37.800He won that middle term, too, that he lost with his election being stolen. So I'm glad he's back. I'm glad he's the president. And I don't hold a grudge against him. I support him.
00:21:51.080He's the president God has appointed because he appoints everybody in position and remove those that he wants to remove.
00:22:03.660I know that when we meet, he'll like me.
00:22:07.020I 100 percent agree that everyone should pray for the spirit to put you in front of Trump and for Trump to endorse you because you're a great man.
00:23:27.140Well, because of First United Payments and your support, they failed.
00:23:31.380And they failed because I had a processor with a backbone who loves America and believes in the free market.
00:23:37.200One who stands up for American justice and who didn't back down when they received threatening messages and pressure from other major institutions.
00:23:44.060If you are a conservative business owner, Google is watching you, Meta, Facebook is watching you, Amazon, all of the major big tech is watching you.
00:23:54.640If you think for one second that they are not orchestrating and coordinating their efforts behind the scenes to take you offline and out of business and render you harmless to the system and the machine, you are wrong.
00:24:07.760The question is not if, it's when, Stripe, Shopify, PayPal, Square, they're all part of the same big tech machine.
00:24:16.860Consolidation, vertical integration, that is the goal of the BlackRock globalist system.
00:24:23.880Because once there's only one central system, they can bring in the universal credit score.
00:24:29.520This is the key to their entire panopticonic takeover plan in their own words.
00:24:34.540The head of BlackRock, Larry Fink's been very clear.
00:24:37.260Once they have this system in place and they're close,
00:24:40.100they are going to shut down everybody that isn't part of their system,
00:24:50.380They've just got to get to the patriots that are opposing them to get to you.
00:24:54.200And FirstUnitedPayments.com stands directly in the tyrant's way.
00:24:59.280My fellow Americans, this is your call to action.
00:25:02.620Call or email First United Payments now and ask them how you can protect your business against the globalist predatory attacks and shutdowns today.
00:25:11.600Visit First United Payments now at FirstUnitedPayments.com and talk to a real human here in the good old U.S. of A.
00:25:36.400I've been using them for almost a decade.
00:25:38.280They're already taking care of most of the patriots.
00:25:40.360Whether you're a florist, have a gas station, or you're a farmer, or you've got a little five-and-dime shop or a factory, whatever it is, online merchants, this is the place for you.
00:25:50.880These guys are patriots, and they're in our corner.
00:25:54.000They're Americans just like us, and they hate the New World Order with a passion.
00:25:57.380They believe in the free market, and they understand this is 1776 2.0.
00:26:03.08090% of it is information warfare and financial,
00:26:06.600and this is just as important as the right to self-defense and guns.
00:26:10.480You've got to be able to have your own business.
00:26:13.360You've got to be able to operate without these globalist sharks,
