Maria Bartiromo, the TV host of Sunday Morning Futures at Fox News, on March 8, 2026, interviewed Senator Lindsey Graham, who, in this 5-minute extract, explains the US Plan to destroy Iran and Cuba to Get Rich.
Lindsey Graham: ”Just wait to see what’s comes in the next two weeks” … ”We’re gonna blow the hell out of these people” … ”We’re gonna make a ton of money!”
TV host: ”Senator Lindsey Graham, the chairman of the Senate Budget Committee, which shapes the overall spending, as well as a member of the Appropriations Committee, which decides how money is actually spent. You’ve got the President wanting 1,5 trillion dollar defence budget in ’27. The idea that the Pentagon is about to come to you for $50 billion, on these strikes, to Iran. How are you gonna answer?”
Lindsey Graham: ”Best money ever spent.. Was it worth to America to take down a religious Nazi regime who’s trying to build a nuclear weapon to deliver to America? That’s a really good investment. They’re gonna fall. It’s not if the regime falls, it’s a matter of when. We now know they had enough 60% enriched uranium to make 11 bombs.”
”What’s that worth to America to make sure they don’t have 11 bombs? All of this money is to make sure they never go nuclear; they can’t hit us with ballistic missiles. When this regime goes down, we’re gonna have a new Mideast. We’re gonna make a ton of money.
”But Donald J. Trump saved the world from real chaos. What would it cost America if Iran had 11 nuclear bombs to threaten us? They would hold us hostage. We would be held hostage in perpetuity by this terrorist regime. So the money we’re spending is a good investment to take down a regime.”
”We’re gonna have a gateway to peace, and the next thing that will happen is Saudi Arabia will recognise Israel, and that, that will be the biggest change in 2,000 years in the Mideast, and Donald J. Trump is the man to make it all happen. When this regime falls, there’ll be no money for Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis. What is that worth?”
”So the money we’re spending to take this regime down is gonna make us safer, it’s gonna keep them from having nuclear capability down the road, and we will have a new Mideast where we make money. Now, if you want a treaty with the United States, you need to get in this fight.”
”Now, America’s not going to the Mideast just to fight alone, so I’m urging our Arab allies to fight back. You’re being hit, too. So how does this end? It ends with victory. Donald J. Trump is gonna bring this regime down. It’s gonna be replaced by something more friendly to the United States. It’s gonna open up the biggest deal in 2,000 years. Trump’s a man of peace and business”.
”Venezuela and Iran have 31% of the world’s oil reserves. We’re gonna have a partnership with 31% of the known reserves. This is China’s nightmare”.
”This is a good investment, and we should applaud our men and women in the military who are doing something I’ve never seen done before, decimating a brutal enemy in nine days.”
TV host: ”Really great points all around, Senator. I don’t know where to start. Are you telling us you want the United Arab Emirates and the Saudis to lash out and strike Iran right now?”
Lindsey Graham: ”I want them to get in the fight. We sell them weapons. Iran is striking their country. They have good capability. Every other president has talked about doing it. President Trump is in the process of doing it. They’re going to lose, and we’re going to win.”
”Israel and the United States, you just wait to see what’s coming in the next two weeks” … ”We’re gonna blow the hell out of these people.”
”This regime [Iran’s] is on death row now. It is gonna be on its knees. It’s going to fall, and when it falls, we’re gonna have peace like no other time. We’re gonna have prosperity unlike anyone could ever imagine. Peace brings prosperity. You can’t do it by talking. The Democrats criticised this operation. They didn’t do a damn thing.”
TV host: ”Real quick, are you going to support the President’s request for $1.5 trillion budget defence in ’27, and will you respond yes to a potential, supplemental defence package of 50 billion from the Pentagon?”
Lindsey Graham: ”Yes to both. We need it. We want the strongest military to end the wars quickly. Look what we’re doing here. We’ve lost six soldiers. God bless them.”
”We’re devastating the enemy. I’m not looking for a fair fight. If we get in a fight, I wanna win it, and I wanna win it quick.”
”You see this hat? Free Cuba. Stay tuned”.
”The liberation of Cuba is upon us. It’s just a matter of time now. You see this hat? Make Iran great.”
”President Trump said the only way to make Iran great is for the people to take over. We’re marching through the world. We’re cleaning out the bad guys. We’re gonna have relationships with new people that will make us prosperous and safe. I’ve never seen anyth- anybody like it. This is Ronald Reagan Plus.”
”Donald Trump is resetting the world in a way nobody could have dreamed of a year ago. He is the greatest commander-in-chief of all time. Our military is the best of all time.”
”Iran is going down, and Cuba is next.”

Ana Kasparian is being praised across the United States after she suggested that we should airdrop Lindsey Graham into the middle of a war in Iran or Lebanon and let him fight the wars he wants our soldiers to fight.
