let's call her the minder. gym from rochester, michigan,, would you ever consider sending johnny on an ice rated? yes. we are also considering sending him to 1 of the briefings with caroline. anywhere else you want to send johnny? let me know. rick from texas, who knew diplomacy came wrapped in latex? sarah from brunswick ohio, is this the snitch line? i would like to report greg gutfeld for some off colour jokes. we should find him. rene from new york, if they'd tie your hands are you still able to talk? that's all for tonight. apparently not. i'm waters and this is my world.

>> sean: welcome to hannity. tonight we do have a big announcement at the end of the show, i'll give you a hint, i will be back in washington, d.c., tomorrow. another busy day of nonstop action from the trump administration and the media mob spinning in circles predictably, this as some of the worst people in the d.c. swamp are trying to derail tulsi gabbard's nomination as donald trump's director of national intelligence. megan mccain will join us. she wants to defend tulsi gabbard from what has been a pretty disgraceful smear campaign. buckle up, all week it's going to be robert f. kennedy jr. and tosi and kash patel. it will be 1 attempt after another 2... so don't be surprised. my interview with ukrainian president zelenskyy. i asked if he would be open to a negotiated settlement that takes

nato off the table and some compromise on territorial issues mack we will tell you about his answer. i also asked him a question about whether are not ukraine will pay the u.s. back. the couple hundred billion dollars that the u.s. has given them. today after 4 long years, competency was restored to the white house press briefing room. new press secretary caroline lebed stood behind the podium for her very first official briefing. she wasted no time taking down members of the state run legacy media mob. take a look. >> president trump has always been the hardest working men in politics. that's been proven over the past week. this president has signed more than 300 executive orders, he's taken historic action. 4:00 p.m. last friday, our first hundred hours, this president did more in the first hundred hours than the previous president did in the first 100 days.

we've seen the biden demonstration spend money like drunken sailors, it's a big reason we've had an inflation crisis in this country and it's incumbent upon this administration to make sure that every penny is being accounted for honestly. this administration is taking into consideration how hard the american people are working and there tax dollars actually matter to this administration. they also found there was about to be 50 million taxpayer dollars that went out the door to fund in gaza. that is a preposterous waste of taxpayer money. i would like to point out to each and every 1 of you that in 2024 win joe biden was in the oval office or upstairs sleeping i'm not so sure, egg prices increased 65% in this country. it's very easy to speak to you from this podium when you have a president who is implementing policies that are wildly popular with the american people and that's exactly what this administration is doing. it's correcting the lies and the wrongs of the past 4 years. many of the lies that have been

told to your faces in this briefing room. i will not do that. since you brought up truth seek i want to point out while i vowed to provide the truth from this podium, we ask that all of you hold yourselves to that same standard. >> sean: she absolutely crushed it. a little shock and offer the mainstream media mob. what a difference a week makes. a star was born in that room. the previous administration used the room to pedal lies and misinformation and propaganda from a giant binder full of prewritten talking points. we are still waiting on jen sake to circle back on the egregious claim that the border is secure and closed as millions and millions of unvented harris biden illegal immigrants poured across our borders right before our eyes. she flat-out lied lied to us for years, biden, kamala, may orca's, they push this lie on

you the american people. while allowing the greatest national security disaster in our nation's history to unfold. thankfully there is a new sheriff in town and that is former governor dhs secretary kristi noem. she will join us in a moment. she is not messing around and on just her second day on the job she joined an illegal immigration raid in the bronx, of writing we are doing what president trump promised the american people. we are making our streets safe. that is what real leadership looks like. throughout the morning immigration officials partnered with federal law enforcement agencies to carry out all of these raids. arresting a number of criminal illegal aliens in our country. as the operation continued, secretary gnome posted several updates touting the capture of what she described as dirtbags among the numerous criminal illegal aliens arrested was 1 of

the alleged ringleaders of the violent venezuelan gang who was wanted on charges of kidnapping, burglary, menacing as part of the violent takeover of that apartment building in colorado. that's where a group of heavily armed men could be seen on video forcing their way into an apartment. the raids in new york city this morning are just the latest in the administrations nationwide crackdown in big cities and small towns all across the country. in fact yesterday the department of homeland security put out a statement announcing 7300 illegal aliens were arrested and -- in donald trump's first week alone. they said there had already been nearly 1000 arrests made just this morning. president trump reportedly wants at least 1800 arrests every single day. with millions and millions here, that's a doable number. according to the press secretary

who we just played, donald trump is deadly serious about cleaning up the illegal immigration disaster and the national security crisis that joe biden and kamala harris left behind. take a look. >> president trump has sent a loud and clear message to the entire world. america will no longer tolerate illegal immigration. to foreign nationals who are thinking about trying to illegally enter the united states, think again. under this president you will be detained and you will be deported. every day, americans are safer because of the violent criminals that president trump's administration is removing from our communities. >> can you tell us the numbers, how many have a criminal record versus those who are just in the country illegally? >> all of them because they broke our nations law and they are criminals.

>> sean: not everybody is celebrating the trump administration and their efforts to make our country safer. as per usual, reverting to form, several members of the left-wing state run legacy media mob, they are in a meltdown mode. what a shock. they've only been doing this for 9 straight years. take a look. >> when you start having gestapo raids in america and we start becoming a country where as in east germany, a knock on the door is the thing people are thinking about instead of the brilliant idea they want to go creates. then we are moving very far from the president worrying about what regular people need. he's distracting people with this flurry of activity but none of these images you are seeing are going to make your life better. >> they are just undeniable. history may not repeat verbatim

but it sure does rhyme. >> an undocumented immigrant is not a criminal because he or she is undocumented. that is a civil offence. to call people illegals is in and of itself i think xenophobic and racist. >> that would be a criminal offence. we are back to the gestapo and hitler and and stalin and mussolini and the hysteria, and never stops. no wonder why the state run media mob is losing audience day by day. they don't tell people the truth and the predictable comparisons to hitler and stalin, it's on again and again. this is all they know. they don't know about truth, they don't -- they call themselves journalists, they are not. they learned nothing from november. they are not listening to the american people. they are doubling down on dummy, dumber and stupid. it's not just the media. you have uninformed hollywood

celebrities also weighing in. we saw selena gomez posting a video sobbing uncontrollably about donald trump rounding up violent criminal illegal aliens. let me ask, where were those 2 years rachel morin, mother of 5, laken riley, what about the hundreds of thousands of missing children, over 350,000. what about the hundreds or thousands of dead americans, young people, from fentanyl and opioids being traffic over our southern border. what about the thousands of americans murdered and and victims of other violent crimes by harris haydn unvented illegals. aware are those tears? i did not see those tears from selena are anyone in the state run media mob that's saying this is expensive. what about the cost of feeding and housing and health care and

education and freeze checked -- free sex change operations funded by taxpayers that kamala wanted. where are the tears for the victims of crimes by these unvented illegals. instead they are saving all their tears for criminal illegal immigrants that did not respect our laws, our borders, our sovereignty, that are rightly being deported. they love to enforce the law when it comes to donald trump, even if it meant we are going to lie about the value of monologue go. make up a story about russia... we will spy on the president. we will have a double standard when it comes to top-secret classified information. where is there compassion for american victims? and while the left is engaging in their theatrics, the trump administration is on the ground, sum being shot at, making good on their promises to make this country safe again and small

towns and in big cities. that includes kristi noem, to take a look. >> we do have some challenges and the world is a dangerous place. we've got dangerous, evil foreign governments that want to take us down. we will be the first line of defence for anybody that's in the american homeland. we will do everything that we can to protect the american people. >> sean: kristi noem is with us. madam secretary, agreed to have you. that didn't take long, you go to work really quick. you were out with -- in protective vest, embedded with ice last night. you got these dirtbags as you called them including the ringleader which is a huge get for your department and for tom homan and for all these agents. congratulations on successful raid last night in new york.

>> we've just gotten started. we're picking up the worst of the worst in this country that are making our streets so dangerous. we did encounter and incarcerate a member, 1 of the ringleaders. he had warrants out for his arrest and he was 1 of those that we saw on some of the video from that apartment building that they had taken over and had perpetuated so much violence there. this was a good warning for our agents and the cooperation with the nypd and atf and dea. we had a great partnership going and did several of these arrests and the community is safer now. that's the reality of it. anybody who has been concerned about walking their children to school or spending and doing business in these communities now know that new york city is safer because these dangerous criminals are gone and they are no longer living in our community. >> sean: what a difference a couple of days can make. i saw when you are sworn in by clarence thomas, i was very happy for you. we've known each other a long

time, you did a great job as governor. seeing you out with agents in that protective isa vest, embedded with these federal agents and going after target after target. in new york. i also understand that you've got a number of criminal illegal aliens, and those with kidnapping, assault charges, burglary charges. this was a very successful raid. >> it was and i appreciate the president following through on what he promised the american people. you promised them he would make america safe and that's what we are doing. going in, all night long and doing these targeted raids against these promote -- criminal aliens was a very specific. pulling them out we are going to gather more information about some more of the criminals that are out there doing these activities. this ringleader had just tried to buy some grenades. he had been a part of a gun by before. we talk about families that are losing their kids to violence.

using our next generations of americans or drugs. these folks are perpetuating that and we will get them out of here and make sure that we are continuing to build on that and know that the american people are truly being heard, that they are being listened to and that these agents are going out with the support that they need and the cooperation of local governments to do what they need to do. >> sean: we estimate anywhere between 12 to 15 million unvented harris biden illegals came into the country. we know that among that group aren't known terrorists but we don't know where they are. we no longer a group are cartel members but we don't know where all of them are. and gang members. we know we have tens of thousands of murderers, and other violent criminals. we've seen americans murdered, including young children. we have a fennel problem, other violent crime. it seems like the enormity of this task of finding these people seems incalculable to me.

how do we find them all? >> we have some of these folks on our radar. when they commit crimes we need to not release them again. and working with the mayor of new york city was fantastic. i talked to him 4 or 5 times about what we were doing in our operations and how they could support us. we also need a sanctuary city laws to be lifted so we can use the full authorities that when we bring up these people and when we capture them that we can prosecute them and we can truly get them out of this country so that they can't continue their ring of violence. these are the worst of the worst and we need mayors and governors partnering with us but we will do our job regardless of that and we will continue to go forward and identify these folks and get them out. these agents did good work and a fantastic work. they are so happy they finally get to do their job. so happy they finally get to get these dirtbags out of our country and to actually fulfil

the mission to which they took their oath of their office to be protecting their community. the community back while i was spending time there, were grateful when they walked by us. they would say thank you. and saw us pulling people out of these apartment buildings where they knew there was dangerous individuals. we saw kids coming out of these buildings that had to live in these situations and it's going to be a much better situation the more that we can target this and we will gather more and more information and continue to remove them. that's what president trump said. we will start with the worst and we are going to continue to go after them and remove them. the cartels and the people that are on the terrorist watch list when we find you, there will be consequences. we will remove you. we are saving people's lives because of the actions we are taking. >> sean: the left in this country and i call them the state run legacy media mob, this is very expensive deporting people as if it's not expensive to offer them free food and

housing and health care and education and kamala wanted taxpayer funded sex change operations. that's more expensive. do you plan on going on a lot more of these raids? is this something you will do on a regular basis? >> absolutely. i will be out there with our agents and law enforcement officers and border patrol. i will be with all of them because i think that when i'm there they know they have a leader that supports them. but also i'm learning from them. i'm learning what tools they need, what authorities they need to truly that when they arrest someone and turn them over to the process that's in front of them that they are consequences and that we can prosecute them. talking about the difference in some of these sanctuary cities, how they are released as soon as they come into our custody and the local governments. i need to tell that story and then the liaison to help get those local leaders on board and talk to the community so they see the good work that we are doing as well.

and remind them president trump that said that he would take action. we are encountering and arresting 3 times the amount of criminal aliens that the biden administration did by average and we are having less than 10% the amount of encounters at the southern border because we've sent the message clearly to the world, don't come here. if you are an illegal and if you are dangerous we have a target on you and you will not be welcome and we will remove you and have consequences. >> sean: i was glad to see that you addressed that our government has not been honest about talking about the mysterious drones that have been flying over new jersey and elsewhere and you will get to the bottom of that. you also have addressed the issue of security at our super bowl which i'm sure is a monumental task. can you give us updates on both of those issues? >> we've been working on those since i've been in this job and even before that, the team was preparing to get ready for the super bowl and make sure it's a

safe, fun and exciting event and that we also are out there doing due diligence and many of these other areas of the country. we are not just stopping with new york city, many times we won't be telegraphing where we are in the country for safety reasons. law enforcement cummings -- comes first... they have families as well and we want to make sure they are able to do their job. we've been talking almost on a daily basis since i was nominated for this position and i will be down there in a few days to do a preliminary briefing and we will continue to work with them and make sure it's a safe event and exciting for everybody. >> sean: what a difference between you and... thank you, we appreciate your time and your hard work and thank all the people of ice and we think the president for his leadership. we've got to protect our homeland and get rid of these people that are known terrorists

,, murderers, cartel members. we have to get rid of them. thank you. we appreciate your time. >> thank you sean. >> sean: what a difference a week makes. straight ahead, megan mccain will join us to discuss her support for her friend tulsi gabbard and her positive words about donald trump, why she also believes that tolls he will be a shining light on a broken system. stay with us and a special announcement, i'm back in the swamp tomorrow. we will tell you why straig'veti ahead.ne but with tiktok's privacy settings being on by default for teens under 16, accounts are set to private. he cannot send or receive dm's, and only his friends can comment. so he can post away, and i've got one less thing, to worry about. so, dad, how old do you have to be to get a tattoo? uh, um. teen safety settings on by default. ♪

>> sean: megan mccain went viral when she announced that she will always have a few personal differences with

donald trump, she strongly supports the president and a lot of his policies and many of his cabinet nominees. that includes her long-time friend tulsi gabbard who is donald trump's pick for director valve -- director of national intelligence. they wrote calling her a patriot that will bring sunlight to a rotten system. megan mccain, host of the citizen mccain podcast joins us right now. you said something about her, she's a patriot, a woman of faith. she's strong and courageous, deeply patriotic. a passionate love for the country and unlike many of her critics, she put her life on the line for more than 2 decades. some of the criticism i heard it really makes my blood boil. i was really glad you put that up there. i think for the next 2 days or 3 days, it's going to be brutal. they are going to...

>> thank you for giving me this time to come on your show. i'm really grateful. i'm very close friends with tulsi gabbard which i think sometimes surprises people. we bonded over being women in the media and in the public eye that sometimes are misunderstood. she's the godmother to my oldest daughter liberty. i know her incredibly well, we talk almost every day to. to see some of the attacks that are being put out hurt by republicans and conservatives as well. places like the national review calling into question the service of a lieutenant colonel active-duty military woman in the army is just, i found it absolutely up orange and disgusting. people want to know how patriotic she has, you know how it had -- how she had that white streak, that's from her experience in iraq. it came from that. i have not served overseas in a

war zone and the people who are criticizing her and he 9% of them have not. i think this is a moment for people to come and support her. president trump won handily in a popular vote and the electoral vote and a lot of those voters on the independent centre-right and centre-left were brought over because of the squad of rfk and tulsi gabbard. i don't think people understand that there's going to be a huge wrath of anger if, for some reason, she doesn't end up passing her confirmation. >> sean: they want to scalp. they want to win. they want to tear somebody down. what they don't realize, i don't care if it's about her are rfk jr., that they were not elected president in their job is to implement the president's policies. so if they have an issue here are there with her, it's not going to be her policies that she's going to implement. the same with rfk jr. have you talked to her about that?

>> my frustration right now is president trump was handily elected with a mandate from the american public and that is loud and clear about change and extreme change. they did not elect mitch mcconnell and i don't understand how his mandate could possibly stop by a few people that have very different ideas than the american public as you talked about earlier. i went viral for saying i support so many of trump's policies. a lot of this is not about personal issues, it's about what's good for the american public and the people and there is no 1 that is better suited for this moment in time then tulsi gabbard. i've been really upset at that dastardly commentary coming from a lot of people. republicans in general, shame on you for saying those types of things. >> sean: what is the worst thing you heard? >> i think calling into question her patriotism. i know that hits her to her

corporate mike she enlisted after 9/11 because she was so emotionally changed. she served so many tours. half a time when i wanted to do something with her she can't because she's in-service in her training. that has been very hard but she's very strong. i know she's good to be great in her hearings and i will be there to support her in person and i think we all need to come together and call of this government for what it is. >> sean: i hope i'm wrong, i don't think i will be. they will revert to form and they will be vicious in their attacks. i hope i'm wrong. i hope republicans hold the line. we appreciate you being with us. thank you. the trump administration moving at a rapid pace enacting the agenda. we will tell you what he did today, check-in with... i'm going back to the swamp tomorrow. i will tell you why straight ahead. ected by shared history,

>> sean: another whirlwind day for the trump administration capped off with new executive order banning federal funding for gender reassignment surgery for minors. donald trump is also asking any and all federal workers who do not want to show up in person 5 days a week to submit their resignations. they will be paid with benefits until the end of the fiscal year, that's october first and then released from their duties. over at the pentagon, pete hegseth has revoked the security clearance of retired general mark millie and at the department of justice, former members of the weapon eyes doj have been informed they are no longer working for the government. counselor to the president ... you said...

we are glad you went. why would it be that deep state institutionalists, people that were for jack smith, that worked overtime night and day to put donald trump in jail, why wouldn't donald trump get to pick his own people? why would he be stuck with that group of people? >> i love that you asked me this question. what i would say, ready, if you are biden and i'm in the doj, are you leaving me there? i don't think so? the truth of the matter is this. you are not america first. they were divisiveness and the party of attack, the party of law fair, justice, injustice. they made americans scared of the fbi and doj and feel like they were being attacked for being a republican or democrat that's for both sides of the coin. that's not america, that's

third world stuff. it's the same thing. we don't want people that are political like they were that volunteered. they were not appointed to those roles, they volunteered to help jack smith. they volunteered to attack trump. are these people going to be able to say i am not a political person, i'm not going to attack somebody and raid a child's bedroom and a wife's bedroom that did nothing wrong because this is an election season and we need to get trump out, no. i assure you they could not do it. i'm welcome to listening if they believe they could but i assure you they could not. if you are not america first you are out. we are replacing a lot of people with good people. people that care about the things that president trump cares about. >> sean: he's a duly elected president and we can't have the weaponization of our doj are politicizing the fbi or the intelligence community. people wondering what the

democrats would do and what the legacy media would do. they are back to where they've been the last 9 years. , racist, stalin, hitler, mussolini and attack attack attack, every trump nominee and try to stop them every step of the way, is it going to work? >> look at what they are doing with tulsi gabbard. she's a good person. she served our nation. and things that she did where she asked for ethics guidance on it and then met with nancy pelosi after meeting leaders. that was her job. they are twisting it because they want you to be afraid. this is not what we're doing. we are putting america first. these people are going to get us back to where we used to be. before we had politicians who put their politics and getting elected before representing constituents. that is the people that are

going to go up this week and i'm so proud of them and i support them fully. i know these people personally. they are afraid of change because change means they will be out of a job and we are not afraid to do that. as president trump famously said you are fired. if you are going to serve the american people you're fired. we want these people in and they have to push the men. they are great people. >> sean: the president does deserve the cabinet that he wants. he was duly elected by the american people as we discussed. that's what they voted for. we appreciate it. i spoke with the ukrainian president to lenski about donald trump's desire to end the war with russia. is ukraine willing to give up territory and their desire to be in nato? i asked him that and a program announcement about me being in d.c. tomorrow, straight ahead.

>> sean: russia's unprovoked war of aggression continues to rage. many are dying, and for structure dying. with president trump and office all parties seem to agree it is time for the violence to end. donald trump is giving food and a deadline. i sat down for an interview with ukrainian president to lenski to discuss that and much more. >> i understand ukraine's need for security guarantees. we can go back to the minsk agreements in 2014 and 15 and though there are many other conditions, 1 is that ukraine could not join nato if russia were to follow the terms. it seems to be coming down to a negotiation, a territorial dispute and i'm not taking sides here.

being made by vladimir putin and ukraine's ability to join nato. is everything on the table or negotiations with you wants donald trump, we saw his post to vladimir putin and i will get to that in a minute. it was very harsh. on your end, is everything on the table? >> interpreter: the rhetoric of president trump it wasn't simply severe. it was just and fair. this is exactly what putin is afraid of. he doesn't want strong trump supporting ukraine because it would be strong ukraine. territorial integrity is what every country must respect, even such country as china understands that you cannot interfere with territorial

integrity but he did it. he wasn't stopped by the previous agreements like the minsk agreements. he was saying that those were separatist but they were his men those agreements where instigated by him and then he started the big invasion. and those agreements envisioned exchange of prisoners but he didn't do it. some of our men it -- are in his captivity for 10 years now, more than 10 years and that's it. so speaking of a cease-fire, at that time a cease-fire did not work. he understands. in those agreements, america was not involved in the normandy agreements.

it was a mistake at the time of the u.s. administration at the time. if america took part in those talks america would've forced putin to achieve a just peace but america wasn't involved there. i'm very hopeful that president trump will not allow for such an agreement to just be a piece of paper. we want him to be on the side of justice, on the side of ukraine. so today i will tell you. if we look at what happened after the beginning of the full-scale invasion, we have regained over 50% of the territory initially took. we would like to achieve a fair

and to this war. we are not afraid, russia is not that strong. we don't want to lose more of our lives, men and women. but we could not recognize the occupation. that is our people and that is our land and our right. the right of our people is for those territories. we cannot recognize that occupation. we preferred to resolve that diplomatically, not through a military fight. putin doesn't want to put an end to this war. speaking of us, when we talked with president trump,. >> sean: i believe if president trump were in office as putin was amassing troops on your border, there was a window of opportunity for this to be stopped and to have a negotiated settlement.

i believe that likely would have happened. fear for your country, and you have fought valiantly. i'm no fan of vladimir putin. i think he's evil, a murderer. i think all of this was unnecessary, it could have all been negotiated from the beginning. i would like ukraine to remain a country and not have all of it's infrastructure destroyed in all of this. the president did say about vladimir putin, he said the following that their economy is failing, he said settle this, and stop this ridiculous war. it's only going to get worse. if we don't make a deal soon i will have no other choice but to put high levels of tariffs, taxes and sanctions on anything being sold by russia to the u.s. and other participating countries. let's get this war which never should have started. if i were president over with. make a deal. no more lives should be lost.

i agree with president trump. i don't want any more people to dye in this war. that's why i'm asking, if the president can put enough pressure on vladimir putin and -- is there a negotiated deal on the table that is going to take some give and take? i would assume it would involve nato. it will evolve your future defences, it will involve territorial claims that they have. do you think that deal is achievable? >> interpreter: if president trump has the will to force putin to come to peace he can do it. and if the u.s. considers pressure on putin involving other countries, global south and china, i'm sure that an agreement can be made. so they make that pressure as well. pressure on putin.

i'm sure and i know that president trump is not very happy about nato. we talked with him. we need a broader guarantees of security. if there are no joint guarantees i believe that guarantees from europe alone will never be enough. we talked about this before. at the europeans understand that without guarantees of security from the united states, from president trump, it will not be enough. putin is not afraid of europe. so we need such guarantees of security. we talked about the mistake that ukraine made at the time. because of that pressure from the united states and the russian federation. when we gave away the nuclear weapons we had an exchange for that budapest memorandum which

give us nothing. that was just a piece of paper. same as the ms. -- minsk agreements. that memorandum, nobody really gave support. such agreements may have not enough value. >> sean: you are probably not as willing as i am to criticize president biden over his handling of all of this. when we go back to the beginning of this conflict and russia was amassing troops along your border, he was asked a question what will your response be and he said it depends if it's a minor incursion or not a minor incursion. the next thing i felt that president biden was trying to to control how you were fighting in the war. i remember poland offered you 28 ... and then by the end of the war he's providing the weaponry and

hundreds of billions of u.s. tax dollars and allowing you to fire ballistic missiles into russia which resulted in bottom a prudent saying any country that fires a ballistic missile into russia now we have the ability to fire a nuclear weapon back at them. i don't think that was helpful. am i wrong? >> interpreter: i'm not quite sure what you are saying did not really help. >> sean: what i'm saying is in the beginning the negotiation should have started when he was building up troops along your border. he was asked about it and he said it depends if it's a big incursion or a minor incursion. that was the window to get ahead of it and he missed it. then poland offered you meg's so you could fight an air war against russia after the conflict started. by the end of this conflict he's

allowing you to fire ballistic missiles into russia which then altered their nuclear policy which said if you do we have the right to nuke you and that puts the entire continent of europe at risk. that is very dangerous. that's why i think enough people have died, enough money has been spent and i would like to see -- i don't want to see any lives lost and i hope president trump can assist with president -- with vladimir putin. not a fan of him. i think he never should have invaded ukraine to begin with. i think your people have fought valiantly. how many more people are going to die and how much more damage is going to occur? >> interpreter: i didn't hear everything but i will try to answer. before the big scale invasion i was asking president biden and his team, the state department,

we were contacting everyone in the white house. we were saying the most effective sanctions will be preventive. most important response is preventive action. they were saying we will give you weapons if they invade and i was saying do everything you can now. and that may prevent or stop his coming invasion. parallel with that i was asking the european union countries and they could not do it without approval of the united states. so they always look at the leader of the united states -- united states as the leader. ukrainians were left on their own and we were fighting on our own. >> sean: we will have part 2 of my interview coming up this week where i ask him is he --

will they pay back the american taxpayers the billions of dollars that were given to them. we will have that when we come back and a big announcement straight ahead.
