[cheering and applause] >> greg: that was fun. thank you david angelo, erin maguire, emily wilson, charly arnolt and our studio audience. "fox news at night" is next. i'm greg gutfeld, i love you, america. >> trace: good evening, i'm trace gallagher. 11:00 p.m. on the east coast,

8:00 in los angeles and this is america's late news, "fox news at night". i think it's disrespectful for you to come to the oval office and try to litigate this in front of the media. you should be thanking the president. >> you don't feel now but you will feel it in the future. >> president donald trump: you don't know that. don't tell us what we are going to feel. you are not in a good position. you don't have the cards right now. with us you start having cards. you are gambling with world war iii. >> trace: breaking tonight, president trump maintains he still wants an immediate cease-fire between ukraine and russia but has serious doubts that president zelenskyy wants the same. it all comes after an historic diplomatic dustup between the 2 leaders and the entire world could see. >> we had a meeting today as you know with president zelenskyy and i would say it did not work out exactly great from his standpoint. >> trace: so can a peace deal

be saved and will zelenskyy make the first move towards saving it? tonight the ukrainian president spoke exclusively to bret baier and when given the opportunity to apologize to trump, he did not take it. >> i'm not hearing from you mr. president i thought that you all the president and apology. >> no, i respect to the president and i respect american people and if -- i think that we have to be very open and very honest and i'm not sure that we did something bad. >> trace: meantime the media and democrats say trump and vance are to blame. we will have much more on that including a dose of common sense. we begin with a senior national correspondent kevin corke live in d.c. with more on the diplomatic trauma and mean comes unbelievable. >> trace: big time. >> reporter: we will follow

throughout the weeks ahead. good evening to you, trace. you will here a lot of comments about exactly who most benefited from the fiery exchange in the oval office. was it zelenskyy, was it putin, russia, ukraine? the american people where the biggest beneficiaries because at least in this instance transparency equals clarity of position. both men want peace, they have very different views though about how to get there. but zelenskyy's defiant tone really seemed to set off the president and the vp who called him ungrateful. >> the problem is, i've empowered you to be a tough guy and i don't think he would be a tough guy without the united states. you people are very brave but you are either going to make a deal or we are out and if we are out you will fight it out. i don't think it's going to be pretty but you will fight it out. >> reporter: later in an interview on fox news with our colleague bret baier, the ukraine later seemed to soften

his tome a bit, clarifying his position on u.s. support on ukraine's gratitude and future security guarantees. >> i respect the president and i respect american people but there are things that -- where we have to understand the position of ukraine and ukrainians. i think that is the most important thing. >> reporter: meantime the white house and the weekend voyage to mar-a-lago, the president reiterated his belief that without the u.s. ukraine will fall. he agreed to continue the conversations when zelenskyy is "ready for peace." meantime democrats on capitol hill were fervently supportive of the ukrainian leaders supported -- you -- exchange in the oval office however on the g.o.p. i -- side senator lindsey graham called on zelenskyy to change his perspective or resigned, something he told bret he was not prepared to do. >> trace: kevin corke live in d.c., thank you. let's bring in former

white house official jayme franklin and "new york post" reporter lydia moynihan. thank you for coming on. lydia, i want to play some sound. this is president trump on making a deal. he said the following... >> you are either going to make a deal or we are out and if we are out you will fight it out. i don't think it's going to be pretty but you will fight it out. but you don't have the cards. once we sign that deal, you are in a much better position. >> trace: yet senate minority leader chuck schumer said on x trump and vance are doing putin's dirty work. senate democrats will never stop fighting for freedom and democracy. i mean ukraine needs this deal. macron, france, britain, nobody can help except for the president of the united states and right now they are at all it's. >> that is the very fervent reality. president trump was very clear he campaigned on in america first policy. he wanted our foreign policy to

benefit americans and i think that's the new thing that we haven't seen. of course the context of this is that americans have felt frustrated that we continue to be involved in these foreign wars, funnel hundreds of billions of dollars to a country like ukraine and that the same time we are neglecting our own citizens so often. president trump wanted to deliver what he saw as a win for americans, where we broker peace. at the same time cut a deal that benefits us. that was of course the understanding. that's part of the reason why treasury secretary went to discuss this with zelenskyy and zelenskyy got on a plane. everyone had the expectation that there would be a deal and then as soon as the cameras come in, it obviously went a much different direction and very unfortunate timing. >> trace: meantime you had zelenskyy indicating, this is 1 of the big sound bites, that someday america would feel kind of what ukraine feels. watch. >> you are in -- war, everybody

has problems. even you. you have a nice ocean and don't feel now, but you will feel it in the future. >> you don't know that. don't tell us what we are going to feel. we are trying to solve a problem. don't tell us what we are going to feel. >> trace: florida g.o.p. representative weighed in by saying this, you don't come into our oval office and disrespect our president. we want this piece, ukraine needs this peace. president trump does not play games. did zelenskyy not read the room, what's your take on what happened? >> byron donald's is exactly correct. president trump loves the art of the deal, he's a president -- businessman and a negotiator and joe biden is no longer in office and zelenskyy is learning the hard way. president trump wants to bring peace to the world and he's going to do that through america first read to jesus.

and he's going -- >> trace: leaned back a little bit. lydia, back to you. meantime zelenskyy said this to bret baier tonight on special report... >> i think it was not good. i think it was not good because we had a lot of different talks. i'm always open to media but there are very sensitive things. i just want to be honest and i just want our partners to understand the situation correctly. >> trace: he was fighting for security concessions. i'm not sure he got what he wanted. i think in the end it was maybe the wrong strategy. what do you think? >> i think that's an understatement, based on what the outcome was. we saw in the moments following that outburst, trump doubling down on his position. zelenskyy trying to walk it back a bit. not apologizing but saying he's

grateful and appreciative. that was the language that senator lindsey graham and other lawmakers urged him to use. of course i think we are all sympathetic to zelenskyy. he's been fighting for years, he's exhausted, he's angry. the reality is that with president trump, we no longer are the world's policeman, or the world's piggy bank. so i think you come into the oval office and you do expect a certain amount of appreciation and respect for the american taxpayers who have help support his efforts as well. >> trace: i think that's exactly right. lydia, jayme franklin, we appreciate it. i said that we have to sign these documents and we are ready for this. and this will be the step, first step for security guarantees, but it's not enough. >> he's looking for something i'm not looking for. he's looking to fight. we are looking to end the death. >> trace: the trump zelenskyy

meeting sending shock waves around the world but what does it mean for negotiations going forward? let's bring in former cia chief of stations daniel hoffman and national security and military analyst rebecca grant. thank you for coming on. the whole dust up, i was watching this, i went back and watched it 54 minutes including outside the pool and then coming inside. the whole dust up really started when zelenskyy was saying that ukraine needed these security guarantees and it kind of went south from there. what did you see? >> yeah, that's exactly what i saw as well. both sides were talking passed each other. russia has been raining down how long ukraine for over 3 years, killing innocent civilians in their homes and neighborhoods and even maternity wards. i think ukraine wants a cease-fire, they want the war to end. what they are concerned about is that putin is ruthlessly focused on his strategic objective which is to topple ukraine's government and install a kremlin

puppet regime. that is white zelenskyy wants some security guarantees and deterrence against russia and what's a good postwar reconstruction plan. you saw a lot of attention in the room today and that did not serve his calls well unfortunately. >> trace: no, it did not. meantime secretary of state marco rubio had this to say... >> how do you end a warrack what you have to find out what the combatants require in order to stop shooting. what are the russians needs? what do they need to see in order for them to stop fighting? what did the ukrainians need? once you have that in place, the then you can decide the next step which is what the we need to do to make sure this never happens again. >> trace: i guess the question to you rebecca is is this or was this a deal breaker or is it salvageable in your estimation? >> first of all what a great set of remarks by secretary rubio. i think this can be salvaged. i think zelenskyy is going to need to apologize and remember

that churchill back in world war ii did everything he could to keep america on britain side, to a little bit more of that. the main thing is this was part of a very careful plan. trump is on the right arc of starting with the minerals deal and then having britain and france provide security. then the u.s. can backstop in so many ways. nato airpower, space, cyber, lots of things. i would like to see both sides get that deal going otherwise -- benefits. >> trace: i was listening to former secretary of state on fox news today and he made an interesting point i want to play to see if you agree and what you think. watch. >> there's no doubt ukraine without this support of the united states, america puts itself in jeopardy. we ought to make sure we do this well and power play. when we do ukraine will have a chance to get a good outcome and that matters to the united states deeply. >> trace: i think the bigger theme is that you can have -- i

mean we had some world leaders criticizing trump advance in the way they handled this. you can talk to germany and england and france, but france and germany and england are not going to get this settled with putin. the united states, trump is going to get this settled, i think that's the genesis of this whole thing. >> yeah i mean look ukraine does need the united states. even if you've got european troops in ukraine they will need the united states, or air defense, rockets, artillery. this was a great opportunity to get things started. i think president trump saw this as a step-by-step process, where we would start with this rare earth mineral deal. tried to pursue a cease-fire and go from there. again, that mineral deal would give us a lot of economic commercial skin in the game and keep the united states involved. that's what ukraine needs. i would caution 1 thing. wars end when both sides are too exhausted to fight our when 1 side wins. we aren't at either 1 of those stages. it's almost as if we are trying

artificially to impose a settlement in i'm not saying that's the wrong thing to do it's just extreme late difficult. >> trace: meantime the ball appears to be in zelenskyy's court. he was on special report tonight. did not want to apologize. does he fight to get back to the negotiating table? >> he has to and you are right he did not do himself any favors with that but i think he will come to realize that ukraine has to remain strong and be in a strong position for this negotiation to succeed. i think trump was offering a really nice, really well-crafted deal with the minerals deal and i think zelenskyy came hoping he could negotiate a bit. i get it that he does not trust putin and he needs a security guarantee but he has to find a different tactic. >> trace: it's interesting. rebecca grant, daniel hoffman, thank you both. meantime no surprise the mainstream media finding a way to blame president trump and vice president vance for the oval office dust up, even

accusing them of doing putin's dirty work. chanley painter is live in new york with more on the media angle of the story. >> reporter: so it was quite an unprecedented situation today in the oval office as we mentioned earlier in the show. you been talking about it. today the bilateral meeting between president trump and ukrainian president zelenskyy tibault into a shouting match with many in the media expressing their shock over today's stunning exchange. some blaming trump and vance for the blow up. >> it felt like an ambush. vladimir putin's work was being done for him. >> i think what you saw in that meeting was much more of the united states administration, the president and the vice president, taking all the putin talking points. >> reporter: cnn calling the fiery exchanges a stark example of the dramatic whiplash in american foreign policy since

trump and vance assumed office. msnbc meantime blasting trump and vance for "prorating" the ukrainian president and choosing the side of dictators. >> what a colossal embarrassment to witness the president of the united states street a fellow head of state inside of the oval office in such a disrespectful manner. >> reporter: at least one host on that network among others are also accusing the president and vice president of planning this oval office showdown in front of the cameras in an effort to set up the ukrainian president. back to you. >> trace: chanley painter live in new york, thank you. ♪ ♪ the "fox news @ night" common sense department was scanning social media after today's oval office blow up and was surprised at how many people were disappointed at how the trump vance zelenskyy dust up played out in public. wishing instead that it was behind closed doors but common sense would remind you

that donald trump vowed to lay it all out there, to show you the good, bad and the ugly of government. just like tony the tiger, voters said great. and yet many are now asking for more secrecy and less sunlight, more decorum and less forum. in case you are not keeping track that president trump speaks to the media almost every day. he's on pace to answer some 13,000 questions in year one. that's about 12,000 more than joe biden. which is why we still don't know the intent of the chinese spy balloon or the reason the afghanistan withdrawal was such a disaster. so why do we want all is to close the curtain again? isn't it time elected officials show us the things they were voted into accomplish? transparency is good but the process can be pad and the outcome can be ugly. still, having american citizens -- haven't american citizens been locked away in the figurative castle for long enough, haven't we had enough of these rapunzel politics?

common sense would argue that its way past time that americans, americans let down your hair. let's bring in federal -- federalist correspondent breccan thies and former foreign policy advisor under margaret thatcher nile gardiner. great to have you both on. msnbc saying that meeting that should have been locked away, should have been in private, diplomacy is not a public thing, watch. >> diplomacy wasn't meant to be conducted in front of billions of eyes with tv cameras in the room. it's not meant to be seen by the world in the way that we just saw. >> usually president has the foreign leader next to them. they take may be one question that is screamed out from the press. donald trump has changed that, he holds court, he wants these event to be made-for-tv. >> trace: but nile gardiner the public part of this did not make it uglier. that's not what sparked this thing.

>> yes, exactly. i think that transparency and accountability is actually a very good thing for the american people and donald trump has been i think the most transparent president in many decades for the united states. that's a very good thing actually. i think today we saw from president zelenskyy really the wrong approach. i think he should have approached this meeting with a far more positive spirit and also a spirit of humility and gratitude to the american people. we did not see that today at the oval office. i think that president trump is standing up for the american people. after all the united states has given close to $200 billion of aid to ukraine. that's a vast amount of money. including $67 billion of military assistance. i do think the approach taken by president zelenskyy should have been significantly different today. he was far too i think combative

and confrontational really. >> trace: i think a lot of people share that. meantime here's more of the media opinion on this today. >> this was a tragedy. this doesn't make the american people better off tomorrow. >> this is a catastrophe. >> the president of the united states is a coward who is vladimir potenza puppet. the propaganda is what's coming up of j.d. vance his mouth and its russian propaganda. >> which side of this war is donald trump on? >> putin and his cronies are probably popping champagne bottles right now. >> trace: we get it, they hate trump, but they are not hurting trump. they are hurting zelenskyy in this case. >> yeah, what i would say is that many of those outlets, cnn, msnbc and the like, are the kind of outlets you would never go to if you wanted to get any kind of accurate information. the fact is that the american

people 3-1 want to end the war. they don't want endless funding of wars, they made that pretty clear in november. i think what's happening here is that the corporate media is not used to seeing this happen out in the open and them being many of the people who are very supportive of this war, that narrative is falling apart right before their eyes and i don't think they know how to react. >> trace: i think that's fair. this was set on cnn tonight. >> a day where trump and vance behaved like bullies ganging up on someone on the playground, treating zelenskyy like a child. it went downhill when zelenskyy correctly laid out facts about how putin has broken his word on invading ukraine not once, not twice, not three times or four, but even more. >> trace: she clearly did not watch the whole thing because if you watch the whole thing she would've known that both the president and vice president started out by praising zelenskyy and by pointing out

that russia was destroying the country. and so it's that kind of thing that takes these out of context. >> exactly. this is really hysterical talk from cnn and various liberal media actually. i don't think this is an accurate reflection of the reality. after all i think that donald trump and vice president vance are very keen to help the ukrainians. they've often -- offered an extremely good deal in terms of economic cooperation between the united states and ukraine. i think the u.s. is doing all it can to help the ukrainians at this time. undoubtedly of course the russians are responsible for this monstrous invasion of ukraine and i think that's fully reflected of course in the u.s. position today. >> trace: 15 seconds, wrap us up, what do you think? >> i will just say, because i

was in the oval office, one of the most crazy things i've ever seen is the ukraine ambassador to the united states putting her head in her hands as zelenskyy kept digging his hole deeper and deeper. >> trace: and that's exactly right. and that picture is one of the great pictures we saw today. thank you, we appreciate it. up next, you information coming in about the mysterious deaths of oscar-winner jean hackman and his wife. that breaking information on what we are learning is next. later in the nightcap, the whole world got to watch trump and zelenskyy's oval office fight over how to handle the war in ukraine. a rare move to invite the cameras to the conversation. was it a good idea? was that meeting one that warranted publicity in the name of transparency or should it have been private? let us know x and instagram @tracegallagher, we will read your responses coming up in the nightcap. ♪ ♪ e more a(vo) with usps groun, it's like you're with us every step of the way. ♪

evening's news conference. >> reporter: one of the big questions here is when exactly did each person died. their bodies were found wednesday. today the sheriff said to the last recorded event on hackman's pacemaker was ten days ago and that there's a good assumption that it was the last day of his life. >> on initial interrogation was conducted of mr. hackman's pacemaker. this revealed that his last event was recorded on february 17th, 2025. >> reporter: he said authorities do not have surveillance video from inside or outside of the house and that they think it could help determine what happened here, noted that hackman and his wife were private individuals. they say there's no sign of foul play, no evidence of carbon monoxide poisoning and no signs of blunt force trauma or anything taken from the home. a search warrant notes this case is suspicious for a number of reasons, including that

arakawa's body being found near an open prescription bottle and scattered pills and hackman's body being found in a different part of the house. authorities collected these items. two cell phones, medication, medical records at a 2025 monthly calendar from the property as part of this ongoing investigation. >> one of the challenges is trying to determine the timeline. i think the event of the pacemaker gives us an idea but we are going to sift through the cell phone records, go through the planner, we are contacting workers, maintenance workers, family members, security. we will talk to security. it's a secure subdivision. >> reporter: the outcomes of the toxicology and autopsy reports are pending. it could be months before the results are in. >> trace: christina, thank you. let's bring in criminal defense attorney tran17, investigator tonight. the big news is both gene hackman and his wife tested negative for carbon monoxide

poisoning. the last event on hackman's pacemaker february 17th. the timing make sense for him. no idea what happened to her, the dog. the rest of it is up in the air. >> exactly right. the details brought out by christina a moment ago are so telling but there are some specific details contained within the affidavit that bear mentioning. for instance, the pills that were found in the bathroom were only on the countertop, not on the floor. therefore the question is, who ingested the pills that may have been on the floor or what ingested it, perhaps the canine. if the canine takes in at toxicology -- takes in a talk psychologically debilitating amount, it will pass away just as a human being well. and necropsy will be done upon the deceased canine to find out the results. as will the autopsy that will be released soon. the other fact that is telling as the sunglasses that are found next to hackman. that is evidence of a fall. you accurately pointed out that

there is no evidence upon force trauma but 65 years and older is a very dangerous time to be alive. if you fall, amassed -- vast majority of fatalities are called part -- caused by accidental falls. he was over 90 years old. the sunglasses indicate a fall. you would not see blunt force trauma. it could be internal damage. she either ingested voluntarily, because they were together for 34 years. the dark possibility is an individual taking their own life in the canine for instance ingesting drugs that were on the ground. >> trace: the chief forensic or chief medical examiner for new york city, he said the following, "he had a heart attack" talking about gene hackman. she could not lift him, ran to the bathroom to get medication and either fell and sustained a subdural hematoma, a brain bleed, or she had her own pre-existing condition.

again, it explains maybe gene hackman but then the wife, they said there was no sign of any blunt trauma or force or injuries. >> that's right. for viewers and listeners to understand, a subdural hemorrhage is a hemorrhage that occurs within the cranium, within the skull. what this is is the blood-brain barrier, it's evidence of a concussion for instance that could be fatal. that would be evidenced by blunt force trauma. the detective in the affidavit was clear no evidence of blunt force trauma on either of the deceased. maybe a bit skeptical on that conclusion but it is true that her body was on the right side, which would be facing the exit of that bathroom. so she was clearly leaving or something caused her to fall on that right side. a lot of mysteries here but one thing can be said for sure, we know cardiac arrest, i think we can take that to the bank at this time and i think we can also say lack of pills on the ground near the scene of her deceased body is evidence of

potential fatality for the canine. >> trace: i have to go but did they all died at the same time or was this spread over some time? the dog, the wife, gene hackman. >> forensic entomology, i think what will happen in this case is the coroner will investigate larva, fly larva. there's evidence that larva will detect a body and that pheromones exuded from a deceased body within 1-2 days. by the estimates of new mexico's weather at the time and expert testimony, it will take up for two days for the law about to find. they will adjust and investigate the moist parts of the body. his mouth. they will find out evidence of time and death. >> trace: you picked the wrong career, should have been an investigator. we appreciate it. the who we are. when we are on our best, we are aggressive, fundamental, disciplined, tough as hell.

season this past year, you know that they lost four games but as filmmakers, we want to come in and tell a heartfelt story about how these young men overcome that adversity. that's what we are trying to accomplish. >> trace: it's amazing because you talk about the four games they lost, we know kalen deboer is a great coach, following maybe the greatest coach in football history, nick saban. jeremiah, i want to play some sound because this is you talking to the team, giving them some prayer and inspiration, watch. >> it was out of zachariah, this is the word of the lord. not by might nor by power but by my spirit. you think about today, all of the things that can come against you, the challenges, the trials, the tests.

it's not in your own power. >> trace: it is so incumbent upon alabama football, this is such a part of the history of alabama football, talk about the importance of this and why you continue to do this. >> well really when you look at the university of alabama football program, fca fellowship christian athletes started in 1961 with coach briant and so we have cut 60 plus years of history, of players understanding that faith was a part of the process to accomplish the victorious life, to be a champion. and to take that and notches use it on the football field but most importantly to be able to use it in life. that's what my own experience, i'm a former player, went on to

play in the nfl and had six children that went to university of alabama, three sons that played. it's because of the faith that was instilled in me. a lot because of coach briant. he played a major part in that. so i'm really indebted to the place. i'm indebted to be able to turn around and get back the experiences that i had there. >> trace: and i'm sure the players all very much in the coaching staff. a much appreciate. the university i'm sure appreciates that. i want to play another sound bite and then get a quick comment. this is coach deboer on building trust. watch. >> can we get off on the right foot? every moment you are trying to build confidence within the group because there are so many things that are new. that has to be something that the players trust and they build that trust through what they see on the practice field, what they feel in the meeting room, how you come back postgame. it's something they build trust

in, in everything you do. not just what's happening on the field. >> trace: caleb, the series on fox nation is great. is alabama football on it's way back to greatness? >> absolutely they are. you know, just listening to that clip there of coach deboer talking about trust. you can't have a team that is fixated on winning and headed towards national championships and the caliber of winning that alabama has had and it's passed without trust. yes, you guessed it, they are ready. >> trace: and with the greatness comes faith. you need a little faith, you need something to believe in and it's football faith and family in the south. >> really faith is trust. trust in the most high god, the one that created us.

all great relationships, the foundation is trust. what coach deboer is talking about is just a fundamental -- fundamental to achieving anything great in life. >> trace: jeremiah castille, tran -- caleb castille, best of luck, the series is a hit and we hope alabama football rolls on. role tied. thank you. the fox news and series inside alabama football is out right now. new episodes drop every wednesday. you do not want to miss it. one more time, everybody join in. you don't have the cards right now. with us you start having cards. right now you don't have the playing cards. you are gambling with the lives of millions of people. you are gambling with world war iii. you are gambling with world war iii. and what you are doing is very disrespectful to the country, this country.

u.s. presidency being fully accountable to the american people. so i think it's a very good thing actually, that this white house is open and transparent. that's great for america. >> trace: kevin corke. >> i agree. you saw what happened with macron, kier starmer. this one went south but i still think on balance it's a very good idea. >> trace: chanley painter. >> i agree. i think the american people appreciate the transparency of the trump administration and maybe the white house could make available official oval office boxing gloves since so many jabs were landed today. >> trace: something. christina. >> i think it was great for the american people and world leaders, everyone to see their dynamic. it was so good to see the president be firm. he's always firm but it was much better than hearing biden say don't. >> trace: put it out there and let us decide. >> i love it and i think everybody who watched it loves it. there's no secret sauce, these are human beings that are negotiating. this was a negotiation. i think it should happen at

every one of these meetings, win, lose or draw. >> trace: glenn says it had to be public or trump would have been blamed for the failure. christopher, all such meetings should be public. tammy says they should have been private, sometimes we just don't need to see how the sausage is made. having said that, it was fun to watch. --, obviously it was really a bad idea, not a good look for anyone. d.j. says private, things needed to be decided behind closed doors but i'm proud of our president and vp. scott says after the left try to impeach emperor a phone call i think it's wise to be out in the open. josip, should have been private. also j.d. seemed to be provoking the dispute. i'm not happy. eric says it showed zelenskyy for what he is and show that trump is all about america first. thank you for watching america's late news, "fox news at night". i'm trace gallagher in(man los angeles. have a great weekend and we wilp see you back here on monday. ♪ ♪the ♪
