mean for a potential ceasefire deal between ukraine and russia? we are going to cover all of these angles. i'll be joined by our reporters in ukraine and russia in just moments. but first, we want you to watch the part of today's meeting when things went off the rails. >> do you disagree that you've. >> had problems bringing people into your military? and do you think that it's respectful to come to the oval office of the united states of america and attack the administration is trying to trying to prevent the destruction of your country? >> a lot of a lot of questions. let's start from the beginning. sure. first of all, during the war, everybody has problems, even you. but you have nice ocean and don't feel now, but you will feel it in the future. god bless you. god bless you. god bless you. >> will not you go to war? don't tell us what we're going to feel. we're trying to solve a problem. don't tell us what we're going to feel. >> i'm not telling you. >> because you're in no position to dictate that. >> that's exactly. >> what you're doing. you're in

no position to dictate what we're going to feel. we're going to feel very good. we're going to feel very good and very strong influence. you're right now not in a very good position. you've allowed yourself to be in a very bad position. and he happens to be right about. >> the very beginning of the war. >> not in a good position. you don't have the cards right now with us. you start having cards. cards? right now you don't. are you playing cards? >> you're playing cards. >> you're gambling with the lives of millions of people. you're gambling with world war iii. you're gambling with world war iii. and what you're doing is very disrespectful to the country, this country that's backed you far more than a lot of people said they should have. >> have you said thank you once this entire time? no. in this entire meeting, have you said thank you? you went to pennsylvania and campaigned for the opposition in october. offer some words of appreciation for the united states of america and the president, who is trying to

save your country. >> please. you think that if you will speak very loudly about the war, you. >> are not speaking loudly. he's not speaking loudly. your country is in big trouble. wait a minute. no, no, you've done a lot of talking. your country is in big trouble. >> i know. >> you're not winning. you're not winning this. you have a good chance of coming out, okay? because of. >> us president, we are staying in our country, staying strong. from the very beginning of the war. we've been alone, and we are thankful i said thanks. >> you haven't. >> been in this cabinet. you haven't been in this. >> we gave you. through the stupid president, $350 billion. we gave you military equipment. you and your men are brave, but they had to use our military. if you didn't have our military equipment, if you didn't have our military equipment, this war would have been over in two weeks. >> in three days. i heard it from putin in three days. this is something. >> maybe less. >> in two weeks. of course. yes. >> it's going to be a very hard thing to do business like this, i tell you.

>> just say thank you. >> i said don't. accept to. >> accept that there are disagreements and let's go litigate those disagreements rather than trying to fight it out in the american media when you're wrong. we know that you're wrong. >> but you see, i think it's good for the american people to see what's going on. i think it's very important. that's why i kept this going so long. you have to be thankful you don't have the cards. you're buried there. your people are dying. you're running low on soldiers. you're running low on soldiers. it would be a good thing. and then you. then you tell us. i don't want a cease fire. i don't want a ceasefire. i want to go, and i want this. look, if you can get a cease fire right now, i tell you, you take it. so the bullets stop flying and your men stop getting killed. >> of course we want to stop the war. >> but you're saying you don't want a cease. >> fire to you? >> i want a ceasefire. >> guaranteed. >> because you'll get a ceasefire faster than any agreement. >> about ceasefire. what they think.? >> they want.

>> me? for you. >> that wasn't with me. that was with a guy named biden who was not a smart person. >> to get right to cnn's kaitlan collins at the white house. caitlin, i remember when i covered the white house, wolf blitzer said to me, it's the best job because you get a front row seat to history. boy, did you have a front row seat to history today? >> yeah. >> i'm not. >> sure that the reporters or the staff or the ukrainian officials or the u.s. officials in that oval office today, as we were witnessing this, expected any of. >> that to happen. >> dana, obviously, we knew it was likely going to be tense. there were real questions and points of disagreement between the united states and ukraine on. on how best to proceed here and what this looks like. all of that was evident in this oval office exchange, which i. >> should note. >> actually went for close to an hour, just about 52 minutes or so. i just looked at when we went into the oval office, and when we left, it was those ten minutes that were the most explosive and obviously have come to define this exchange. but leading up to that, there were moments where president zelenskyy and president trump

were disagreeing on whether security guarantees were needed in any kind of ceasefire agreement. who was, of course, the aggressor here, and whether or not putin was going to abide by any kind of agreement. zelenskyy, pointing to all the ceasefire agreements that putin has violated before the minsk agreements, and dozens of times that he did so there. but it was that moment where trump had actually said, last question. he's going to take one more question from reporters. and then vice president vance asked if he could speak up. and that was when things really, truly went off the rails as vance and zelenskyy were going back and forth. and then, as you could see there, the president jumped in and started berating zelenskyy as well, with vance arguing that zelenskyy has not been grateful enough for the u.s. support that they've received. now we have new reporting, though, about what happened after all of this, dana, because that's just as notable because we left that room. >> and on the way. >> out, i asked president trump, can the two of you still go in the room and negotiate after what we just witnessed, after what just happened here? he looked at me and said, we'll see. and what we've learned is that trump actually huddled with his top advisers in the oval

office afterward, vance rubio, scott bessent, the treasury secretary. other officials who were in that room. the ukrainians went to another room nearby. that's standard for these oval office meetings. typically, they separate and then reconvene for lunch. but the ukrainians would would not be having lunch today because it was in that oval office meeting that trump decided he did not want the ukrainians to say he did, not to say he did not feel that zelenskyy was in a place to negotiate with him any further. and i'm told that rubio and waltz went and delivered that message to the ukrainians. they wanted to stay, i was told by a white house official. but they told them that president trump wanted them to leave the white house. and of course, you saw what he posted on truth social. and so the real question that is hanging in the balance here is what happens next, whether or not this cease fire deal is in jeopardy. and of course, if this relationship has any chance of being repaired between the two of them. but zelenskyy did leave the white house shortly thereafter. dana. >> caitlin, thank you so much for your terrific reporting. and don't miss caitlin's show, the source tonight at 9 p.m., she's going to be joined by the

secretary of state, marco rubio, who was in the room during that oval office meeting. that's tonight at 9 p.m. only on cnn. you're listening to air raid sirens in kyiv. moments ago. >> i hear you. can you hear this? >> and it. it's a reminder that while vladimir zelenskyy was here in the united states, the war is still very much going on and very much a threat in his country of ukraine. you just saw nick paton walsh there. now he is back with me live. nick, you have some brand new reporting about what ukrainian officials were being told behind the scenes before this meeting. >> yeah, just before we get to that, a reminder to those watching that since president trump called president zelenskyy a dictator falsely ten days ago, 47 ukrainian civilians have died

and 222 have been injured by russian air strikes. but as you were saying, dana, we've been hearing that there was some pressure from according to a source familiar with the talks, some pressure from zelenskyy's team for this oval office meeting, despite suggestions from trump's envoy to the ukraine and russia conflict, keith kellogg that maybe the relationship wasn't quite there yet. and now a senior u.s. official saying to me, well, they can't fix this. this is up to zelenskyy to fix another saying, this is basically new territory that we're in. some urgent moves, according to ukrainian sources we're speaking to, to try and heal this potentially, uh. french president emmanuel macron speaking to zelenskyy in the last hours, as did nato secretary general mark rutte and the european council president costa. many european countries, their leaders putting statements of solidarity with ukraine. the foreign minister of estonia even suggesting that maybe europe could go it alone, using frozen russian assets to pay for the aid that ukraine urgently needs.

but we are in extraordinary new territory here. lindsey graham's suggestion, uh, sort of a very close, uh, to donald trump as he is that potentially, uh, zelenskyy might need to step aside or heal the relationship somehow will throw into the mix here in ukraine the question of how do they heal this relationship? is zelenskyy the person who can indeed do it? and dana, you know, so much of this remarkable whiplash of the past week to ten days has involved very powerful men in offices disagreeing or roasting each other on social media. we're going to see a new chapter here where aid is in doubt, where morale potentially collapses on ukrainians very troubled, beleaguered front lines, and people lose their lives as this war takes a new phase where the key plank of ukrainian support the united states is now really in peril. dana. >> yeah, it sure is. and just to underscore your amazing reporting that zelenskyy wanted to have this oval office meeting, even though there was a top official inside the trump

administration who said, maybe it's not a good idea, the relationship isn't ready for it. i mean, that's really, really stunning. thank you so much for all your terrific reporting, nick. i want to now bring in former white house chief of staff during the obama administration, former ambassador to japan under the biden administration, rahm emanuel. i wanted to get that ambassador title in because from the perspective of a diplomat, um, never mind an american. >> we will need. >> that meeting. needs that meeting needs. >> diplomatic immunity. >> yeah. i mean, to talk us through what what you're reaction is to that, particularly as somebody who never mind when you were ambassador, but when you were chief of staff to president obama, you've been in many meetings like that, many meetings in the oval office, none like that. >> no. >> listen, i mean, there's three things i always when i was watching. >> that, three things. or three meetings that i said, i've never

seen that before. that meeting, the time in the cabinet room where nancy pelosi stood up and said, all roads about putin, all roads with you lead to putin and russia. and then the meeting in helsinki between president trump and president putin, where the president of the united states took the side of president putin in his word against the american national security and intelligence committee. those were three times i said, i've never seen something like this in foreign soil. you're taking the side of a foreign leader against your own national security apparatus or in that effort. but so what's the common theme here in each meeting, when the president gets hostile, or a new low or a new precedent has been set, because we've gone into what we call uncharted water, it's president trump, president putin, and the veracity of president putin's word each time there's been an explosion, whether that's with president zelenskyy, speaker nancy pelosi, or in the case where the press is aghast and seeing president trump take the side of president putin and believe him and not the voice and the caution by the american

intelligence community. knowing that that to me is earth shattering. >> and having all of that as as a backdrop. what people in and around donald trump who are pushing him for this meeting wanted. and clearly what vladimir zelenskyy wanted was to reestablish a relationship with the goal of finding peace and how off track is that now, given what we saw and given what happened? >> well, yeah, two things that i think are real important to keep in mind. one is trust is everything. you can't do anything. if the and i remember when we were trying to negotiate and this is not even close to this realm, but between japan and south korea that have deep history, our own relationship, without that trust that president biden had set up with the two leaders, they would have done the bare minimum, not the maximum. that was true with president clinton. and when i saw in both the wye plantation agreement, also at camp david

between prime minister ehud barak, no trust. >> here at all. >> so trust right? zero. so moving forward, you may have to have other people have communication, not the two heads of state in that area. the other thing, i think we're all reacting. if i could, you know, traditionally in america from president wilson forward, you've had two kind of themes between an internationalist outlook versus an versus an isolationist outlook. you're now getting a new paradigm, one of predatory versus principled, and it's a whole new world. and what we're reacting to, we've never seen the united states tell another country, we want your minerals. i mean, this put lend-lease program under world war ii in a whole different category. we're telling greenland, you're not going to have your sovereignty unless we have your minerals. panama, we want our canal back. we become predatory in our foreign policy rather than principled. and it's a different variation of the historic framework between an

internationalist outlook versus an isolationist outlook. president trump is not an isolationist. he is predatory in his behavior and actions when it comes to other countries and their resources. and he believes, like president putin, like president xi, that might makes right. and you either accept it or we're going to deal with you accordingly. and that's just a different language and a different perspective. that's not how we see ourselves. and to be honest, it's not how other countries and other people see us. and i take up one event from when i was ambassador, uh, was hosting an event for all the ambassadors from africa. and he says, you have to understand, america is our benchmark. and so we're changing the way people view us. yes. >> rahm emanuel, thank you so much for being here. appreciate it. >> thank you very much. yeah. >> and we have a lot more on this breaking news ahead, including reaction from russia. we're not going to surprise you. officials are reacting with glee watching that contentious

meeting between trump and zelenskyy. cnn's matthew chance will be live from moscow in moments. >> cookbooks. corporate fat cats. >> swindling socialites, doped up cyclists, then, yes, more crooked politicians. i have a feeling we won't be running out of those anytime soon. >> a new season of united states of scandal with jake tapper, march 9th on cnn. >> goldilocks needs. >> a place. >> of her. >> own. and fast. >> thankfully. >> she's on redfin. >> they update their listings. >> every two. >> minutes. >> and with so many. >> options. >> she's bound to. find exactly. >> what. >> she wants. >> this one's just right. >> is she leaving? >> yes. >> oh. it's happening. >> it is happening. >> this moving. i can't breathe. lightcast. you have left. not. i got an idea. now. no. no. >> last breath rated. >> pg 13. only in theaters today. >> you might know harbor freight for affordability. you might not know performance and durability. go along with it. we test, and

been a couple of reactions. one from the russian foreign ministry saying that how trump and vance restrained themselves and didn't hit this scoundrel is a miracle of self-control. that's from maria zakharova, the spokeswoman of the russian foreign ministry. there's been a senator, a senior lawmaker in this country calling the it a brilliant, a brilliant result that zelenskyy was was kicked out of the of the white house in the way that he was. that's the public reaction. privately, though, i can tell you, i spoke to russian officials, other sort of non-official russians as well as this spectacle unfolded on their screens. and i can tell you they were all absolutely gobsmacked at the idea that national leaders were behaving with each other in this way and using this language with each other in front of the camera. it's just not something that any russians or any of us, in fact, have have seen before. so

that was pretty astonishing. one russian official, kirill dmitriev, who's a prominent envoy at the us-russian talks and the head of the russian sovereign wealth fund, he just tweeted, you know, historic. the word historic. and i think, you know that that sums up that sense in russia that there's been a over the past six weeks or so since the inauguration of trump, a really historic shift in the the stance of washington towards. of course, it's it's, you know, supposedly ukrainian ally and towards its supposed rival in moscow. and so, um, you know, that's how this is being sort of treated in russia today. >> matthew, thank you so much for that reporting. appreciate it. let's discuss with former republican congressman adam kinzinger and lauren tomlinson, republican strategist and former former homeland security deputy assistant secretary. uh, adam kinzinger, i will start with you. what was your takeaway as

you watch that? >> i mean, this. >> was shameful. this was really. >> you know, i've never been embarrassed to be an american. >> and today was embarrassing. and it was it was awful. i mean, let's keep in mind vladimir zelenskyy had an opportunity to flee ukraine when russia attacked any state. is there anybody that has any doubt whether or not donald trump would flee the country if we were attacked? he stayed. he's led his country through the most horrific time in recent memory of any country in europe. and he comes to the united states and he is is talked down to he is intentionally, uh, jd vance intentionally triggered donald trump by saying the thank you thing. have you thanked us, by the way, vladimir zelenskyy thanks us all the time. we should be thanking the ukrainians for standing in the gap and fighting the russian horde that's coming into their country. and that would come into nato next. today was very shameful. and there's a reason that every cabinet member under

donald trump has had to tweet how strong he was today, because they got the memo from the white house that they better come out and support trump, because this is a really bad day for them and they know it. >> well, on that note, not a member of the cabinet, but a senior member of the republican party, the house speaker, mike johnson, put a post out there, lauren, saying, thanks to president trump, the days of america being taken advantage of and disrespected are over. and he said it's an american president putting america first. >> so. >> you know, i don't disagree. >> that this. >> was a. pretty awkward. thing to watch. >> unfold underneath. >> the lights. >> of the camera. i mean. >> this is very. rarely these. >> are. >> the type of conversations. >> that you normally. >> see. >> behind closed doors. and to find. >> to watch this unfold. >> in front of the cameras was, i mean, a unique moment in transparency in the diplomacy and sausage making that happens behind closed doors. but i do think that, um, you know,

zelenskyy came in pretty hot. and if there's one thing, you know, if you're, you know, if you are trying to get something done with this administration, with this president, you know that he is very transactional. this is a very transactional, transactional administration. and the fact that he did come in and didn't, uh, bow down, uh, the way that we've seen other foreign leaders do. so in order to make sure that they, uh, have good relations with the united states. you know, i think of, uh, claudia, the president of mexico and the way that she's dealt so far with trump's demands on tariffs and dealing with the cartels and the fentanyl coming into the united states, um, she kind of knows a little bit better how to play to trump's, um, tendencies. and i think that, you know, for zelenskyy, this was a moment in which, um, i don't know that he necessarily wanted the critical minerals deal to go through. and so this was either calculated or a misstep on zelenskyy's part, um, to, uh, to, to rile trump up in this way.

>> and, um, adam kinzinger, i want to read you a quote from the european union foreign policy chief quote, today it became clear that the free world needs a new leader. it's up to us europeans to take this challenge. >> yeah. look, let me be clear about something. no foreign leader should come and bow to the president of the united states. they lead a foreign country, a country that is sovereign and especially a foreign leader. that's in the middle of a war, frankly, standing in the gap. he has to for the morale of his people, stand strong for ukraine. if he comes here and grovels to a toddler, that needs to be groveled to like, what is that? what message is that sending to his troops in the trench? it's sending a message. that boy. our future really depends not on your ability to stay and fight, but on whether or not i can grovel to a toddler that wants to be. that wants to be held and coddled. and so what you see from europe there, correct? i mean, i'm sorry, i hate to say this, but the united states

right now is not the good guys in this. we have backed we have been clear. donald trump has said everything nice about russia. i can't think of a single time he said something bad about vladimir putin, and it's very rare. we were so shocked yesterday when he said that, oh, did i really say zelenskyy was a dictator? this is the moment we're in and this should be an embarrassment to all americans. >> lauren, real quick final word. >> listen, biden fought with zelenskyy as well. i think this is not something new, but just something that we saw on camera today. um, and i think the ukraine situation is difficult and we want to support democracy, but ultimately zelenskyy has got to come to the table and negotiate with trump in order to end this war. >> okay. thank you both. i really appreciate it. so where does the united states go from here? where does ukraine go? can this all be fixed? i will talk to a top democrat on the foreign affairs committee in moments. >> amid upheaval and sweeping changes.

>> the president of the united states. >> trump heads to capitol hill to share what's next. follow cnn for complete coverage and in-depth analysis. the presidential address to congress tuesday at eight on cnn. >> you who. >> know? no, no. that is against. >> the. >> hoa bylaws. >> bylaws schmoll bylaws. >> we're showing we're. consumer cellular gets. >> great coverage. >> you're making everything orange. >> i know right. >> we use. >> the same. >> towers as big wireless. so you get the same coverage. >> difference is our plans. >> start at just $20. >> no, that can't. >> be true. >> but it is. >> wow. i hope you're using primer. >> do we use primer for unlimited talk and text? with the reliable coverage starting at just $20, call or visit consumer cellular. >> from the sweet dentist on zocdoc. staff is a real beauty. >> and people. >> say he's passionate about dentistry. >> doctor sales. >> on 33rd street. >> he can practically skate there. booked it. sweet. >> you've got options. book. >> now. >> hey, sam, what's going on?

>> i have never been more embarrassed and ashamed of a president of the united states than what took place today. um, you know, he, the president of the united states, acted like he was a mob boss and there was no real office. take it or leave it or anything of that nature. the vice president, his. interactions in there to try to seems to me to ratchet it up in that regard. the secretary of state sitting on the sidelines, and i think he knows better. >> thank you very much. so i just want to say we're going down to florida. we have a big event tomorrow night, a big maga event. make america great again and it's setting records and otherwise, i'd rather be right now at the white house, but we're doing the big event tomorrow night. we had some big news this week, as you know, because apple is investing 500. billion dollars. think of that.

and that's going to be a lot. it's going to be a tremendous investment. i guess the biggest investment anybody's ever made in the country at one time. but they're going to be investing a lot of money, 500 billion. we have many other companies have just announced they're coming in. a lot of it's because of how we're doing. we've done a great turnaround in a little more than 30 days, but the country is really doing well. really doing well. we're respected again all over the world. if you look, we had the japanese prime minister. we had the prime minister yesterday of uk. as you know, we had the prime minister of india. we have another. 20 prime ministers and presidents wanting to come. and it's very good, very good feeling. i think our country is really turned around. we had a meeting today, as you know, with president zelenskyy, and i would say it didn't work out exactly great from his standpoint. i think he very much overplayed his hand. we're looking for peace. we're not looking for

somebody that's going to sign up a strong power and then not make peace because they feel emboldened. and that's what i saw happening. i'm looking for peace. we're not looking to go into a ten year war and play games. we want peace. and it was just my impression that if we do that, if we sign up, he's looking for something that i'm not looking for. he's looking to go on and fight, fight, fight. we're looking to end the death. uh, 2000 people died this week. soldiers? more than that. but 2000, approximately. people died this week. young ukrainians and russians. and somebody would say, why do you care about ukraine and russian soldiers? i care about them. i care about everybody. and, uh, we're not doing that. now, if we don't do anything, he's going to have to make peace. but he's dealing with a very weak set of cards. if we sign, he's dealing with very strong set of cards, and

then he doesn't want to make peace. so that's where we are. it's very simple. i'm not looking to get into anything protracted. i want. immediate peace. president putin is going to want to make and he wants to make. he wants to end it. and you saw what i saw today. this is a man that wants to get us signed up and keep fighting. and we're not doing that, not for this country. so we're sending a lot of records economically. we're setting records, and i think every day we're setting records. one of the best is the right track, wrong track. you saw that? we're on the right track for the first time in over 27 years. people are impressed with that. the other thing is the feeling about our country. the feeling is great. it's up 48% on feeling on business. and that's the record. we've never had there's never been a record where we've ever gone up that much in such a short period of

time. so we're doing really well. uh, and i guess some of you are coming with us. and if you are, i hope you're going to have a good flight. >> mr. president. >> what what. >> does zelenskyy. >> need to. >> do to restart talks with you? >> he's got to say, i want to make peace. he doesn't have to stand there and say about putin, this, putin that all negative things he's got to say, i want to make peace. i don't want to fight a war any longer. his people are dying. he doesn't have the cards. just so you understand it. okay. i can tell you. >> chip felkel bob baer. >> did you. >> tell zelenskyy to leave the white house? >> uh, i don't have to tell you that. go ahead. i think i think you know the answer to that. what? wait wait wait. >> do you trust. >> do you trust? >> look, i don't trust or distrust anybody. i just want to get a deal done. and if the deal happens, good. but you can't

embolden somebody that does not have the cards. and all of a sudden, that person says, oh, well, now i can keep fighting. i can. we're not going to keep fighting. you're going to get the war done or let them go and see what happens. let them fight it out. >> you want to go? >> i want anybody that's going to make peace. if he's capable of making peace, which he may or may not be. but i want somebody that's going to make peace again. he doesn't have the cards. when we sign up, he's got all of the cards. that doesn't mean he can fight. he has got to stop the fighting, stop the death. he's losing hundreds of thousands of soldiers. it's time to stop the death. >> anderson cooper. the white house said. >> how long do you think it will. >> take for. >> you? >> want to be invited back. >> to. >> the white house? >> well, he says he wants it now. he wants to come back right

now. but i can't do that. >> i can't. do you want immediate ceasefire? >> mr. president. >> they should have an immediate ceasefire. that was the other thing he didn't want to do about ceasefire. a ceasefire could take place immediately. a contract, if you want to end the war, you sign up an agreement that's going to take a period of time. it takes time. i want it to end immediately. and i think if you had a ceasefire, it would be a ceasefire, a real one that would end it. but he doesn't want to do that. that's fine. do a better deal. i want it to end immediately. i want a ceasefire now, he says, oh, i don't want a ceasefire. well, all of a sudden he's a big shot because he has the u.s. on his side. either we're going to end it or let him fight it out. and if he fights it out, it's not going to be pretty. because without it, without us, he doesn't win. let me tell. >> you, menie estate., they are. >> considering cutting off. >> military aid to ukraine. >> it doesn't matter what i'm concerned. i'm just telling you. you saw what i saw today. that was not a man that wanted to make peace. and i'm only

interested if he wants to end the bloodshed. thank you very much. >> everybody. >> that was president trump at the white house moments ago, speaking about his contentious meeting with the ukrainian president. we do want to continue our conversation with the top democrat on the house foreign affairs committee. we will do so after we sneak in a quick, quick break. >> twitter. that's a great name. >> we invented a whole new thing. >> no one could possibly have understood where it was going. >> twitter breaking the bird premieres. march 9th on cnn. >> when you really. >> need. >> to sleep, you reach for the really good stuff. xecl ultra helps you. >> sleep better and longer when you need it most. >> it's non-habit. >> forming and powered by the makers of nyquil. >> xecl ultra. >> when you really, really need to sleep. >> from the number one rated brand in cordless outdoor power, the igo zero. >> turn riding mower. >> with steer technology. drives

ukraine at every step of the way by negotiating with russia, without ukraine and making deals and asking for no concessions from russia. we know for a fact that he's done that before. we've seen it happen in afghanistan, where he brought the taliban and not the afghan government to negotiate anything. undercutting them as he's undercutting ukraine right now, we know that president putin was waiting for the national election, for our election to take place, praying for his friend donald trump to win. and that now, just this week, for example, when it's the third year of the aggressive attack by putin into ukraine. and on that monday. russia had an assault on ukraine like never before. he said nothing about

that. so it is clear that the president of the united states is working on behalf of russia. and that becomes evident and clear by the vote that we took in the u.n., where the united states voted with russia, north korea and iran, something has gone amiss. and our allies see it because he's turning his back on all of our allies and supporting all of these dictatorial governments. >> sir, real quick, what the republican chair of the committee on which you sit as ranking democrat, said in a tweet, he said america won't be taken advantage of and america won't be taken for granted. thank you. thank you. president trump and vice president vance, for standing up for america. >> and america. if you go by, that will be isolated on by ourselves, on an island, by ourselves. the whole idea of america is our values and who we are, and working very closely

with democratic countries around us and close working closely together to prevent the taking of land. as russia has gone forward. you know, so much so that nato is stronger today because finland and sweden was afraid of the aggression of russia. so all of our allies and all of our friends and all the democratic societies around the world clearly sees who the aggressor is. and it changes what has been a peaceful state in regards to not having a one country going and invading another country and taking land. that is only happening with russia, and it seems as though the president of the united states agrees with it. in fact, he wants to emulate it. when you hear him talking about taking greenland and making canada the 51st state and doing what he's doing in panama. so it is that two peas in a pod. it seems, if you want. and congress got to stand up because we need to be the voice in congress. i need my republican colleagues who went

with me to ukraine time and time again, some recently telling that telling president zelenskyy that they will be with him. yeah, well, this is the time for you to be with him. >> congressman, thank you so much for being here. appreciate it. >> thank you for having me. >> and up next, breaking news on another major story. what actor gene hackman's pacemaker is revealing about his death. that's next. >> just close the doors and

>> speaker. this revealed. >> that his last event was recorded on february 17th, 2025. >> so what we just learned there is. that the pacemaker, its last known registered activity, was well over a week ago. there was a question about how long hackman and his wife, betsy, may have been deceased at the residence. that is an important clue, the sheriff says as they try to work back, he said. essentially, they're doing a reverse timeline, trying to find the last known time that someone either saw or spoke to the couple. but now we're getting that computer technology coming from his actual pacemaker, which is giving them that important information. now, there's still a lot that authorities are trying to determine. they are nowhere near getting the results from the final autopsy. they have sent records out looking for whether there was any type of carbon monoxide poisoning, looking for what the toxicology records might say, because we know that betsy, his wife, was found in a bathroom with pills scattered about. this is a tragedy. remains a big mystery.

dana. >> yeah. i mean, it's really amazing that it was a week. a week since the pacemaker was pinging. i guess is the best way to say it. just so incredibly sad. thank you so much for bringing us that update. and we'll be right back. >> have i got news for. you is back. >> let's think. >> of some new games to play. >> what do you got? yes, something like a. >> oh, what? >> keep playing the same games. >> yeah. >> let's do the. >> same games. >> have i got news for you. tomorrow at nine on cnn. >> if you're living with diabetes, i'll tell you the same thing. >> i tell my patients getting. >> on dexcom g7 is one of the easiest ways to take better control of your. diabetes and help protect yourself from the. >> long. term health problems. it can cause. >> this small wearable replaces fingersticks, lowers anc, and it's covered by medicare. >> not managing your diabetes.
