from mcminnville, oregon. would things have gone differently if zelensky read the art of the deal on the flight over? yeah. would have. or miss manners. cameron from dayton, ohio. i've never seen lindsey graham so fired up in favor of not sending another country money. that's how bad zelensky performed. mary from hopewell junction, new york. the only one missing from the white house meeting was hulk hogan. lou from atlantic city. i am so happy that zelensky wasn't my divorce attorney. i thought you were going to say you're so happy craig got popped. anthony from arizona. biden would have given zelensky a $2 billion check. trump wouldn't even give him a free lunch. i'm watters, and this is my world.

>> and welcome. >> to hannity. and tonight, one thing is perfectly clear. >> if there was ever any. doubt american. strength on the world stage, it is back. it is back big time. president trump. >> will. always stand. >> up for. >> you. >> the american people. and he's going to put america first. we're not going to be disrespected. we will not be swindled. we will not be bullied. today, the ukrainian president zelensky, frankly, in many ways disgraced himself, lost an opportunity of a lifetime to stop the death and destruction of his country. and he did it on the world stage. president trump graciously invited him to the white house for a key minerals deal that he promised to sign, linking our two countries together with a long term agreement. president trump even offered to reset relations after zelensky. you might recall, actually campaigned for kamala harris on the campaign trail. now, keep in mind ukraine has received a steady flow of your hard earned taxpayer dollars and equipment from the us, including under

donald trump. but under biden and harris, hundreds of billions of dollars and not all of it accounted for far more than any other country in the world, including far more grants than the entire continent of europe. but in the oval office, while the cameras were rolling, zelensky seemingly ungrateful, combative, entitled and apparently zelensky's ego seemed more important than the war torn people in his own country. and his behavior is something i'm betting he's going to regret for a very long time. take a look. >> well, if i didn't align myself with both of them, you'd never have a deal. you want me to say really terrible things about putin and then say, hi, vladimir. how are we doing on the deal? it doesn't work that way. i'm not aligned with putin. i'm not aligned with anybody. i'm aligned with the united states of america and for the good of the world. >> we tried the pathway of joe biden, of thumping our chest and pretending that the president of the united states words mattered more than the

president of the united states. his actions. what makes america a good country? is america engaging in diplomacy? that's what president trump is doing. >> what kind of diplomacy? jd, you are speaking about what what what what do you mean? >> i'm talking about the kind of diplomacy that's going to end the destruction of your country. >> yes. >> mr. president. mr. president, with respect, i think it's disrespectful for you to come into the oval office and try to litigate this in front of the american media. right now, you guys are going around and forcing conscripts to the front lines because you have manpower problems. you should be thanking the president for trying to bring an end to this conflict. and do you think that it's respectful to come to the oval office of the united states of america and attack the administration that is trying to trying to prevent the destruction of your country? >> 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. 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 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. >> playing cards. you're playing cards. >> you're gambling with the lives of millions of people. you're gambling with world war three. you're gambling with world war three. and what you're doing is very disrespectful to the country. this country. >> have you said thank you once this entire meeting? 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's trying to save your country. >> please. you think that if you will speak very loudly about the war, you. >> can start speaking loudly? he's not speaking loudly. your country is in big trouble. can

i 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 damn good chance of coming out, okay? because of. >> mr. 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 your 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. >> i gave you the javelins to take out all those tanks. obama gave you sheets. you got to be more thankful. because let me tell you, you don't have the cards with us. you have the cards. but without us, you don't have any cards. >> given a chance today, he had a chance to sign a mineral deal

that would lead to a very strong relationship with the us. after that, hopefully a cease fire, then a negotiated settlement that would have been in the ukrainian people's best interest and should have been the president of ukraine's gold instead. too much arrogance. the president of ukraine, seemingly ungrateful for the hundreds of billions of u.s. tax dollars used to fund this war coming in. he wanted to dictate to the us how he wants the more aid to come in. further, how president trump should take his side, which would only drag all of this out. and that would mean more death, more destruction, and a risk to the entire continent of europe. as a result, ukraine's president was then booted out of the white house by the national security advisor, michael waltz, and secretary of state marco rubio. ukraine's ambassador to the us held her head in shame. lunch was canceled. a joint press conference also canceled. the signing of the minerals deal is off the table for now. the state department has even already terminated funding for

ukraine's energy grid restoration, and president trump instructed zelensky to come back when he's ready for peace. and by the way, if there is a next time, you might want to put on that suit. it is the white house. take a look. >> why don't. >> you wear. >> a suit? >> why don't you wear. >> a suit? >> you're the highest level. >> in this country's office, and you refuse to wear a suit. just want to see. >> if you do. >> own a suit. >> you have problems. >> i a lot of americans have problems with. >> you not respecting. >> i don't have office. i will wear a costume after this war will finish. okay. yes. maybe one. maybe something. maybe something like yours. yes. maybe some. something better. i don't know. we will see. maybe something cheaper than. yeah. thank you. thank you. >> president. >> now you need to keep in mind, historically, this is not the first time that zelensky has disrespected the us. you might recall, joe biden reportedly lost his temper with zelensky because of his insulting behavior, his lack of gratitude. apparently, the

president of ukraine needed a wake up call. this isn't europe. donald trump was able to do something that biden and harris were not able to do, and that is bring vladimir putin to the table. he has stated publicly he wants peace and this war to be over, as did president zelensky. so today was a golden opportunity for ukraine, all of europe and vladimir putin and russia to stop all the death, all the destruction. and that opportunity passed over today. and by the way, the us has now demonstrated over and over again under donald trump, we can and we will defend ourselves regardless of what happens in ukraine. and for the record, the oceans are not our only protectors. we have the most powerful military the world has ever seen. we own the sky. we own the seas. we own outer space. and president trump is dedicating dedicated to producing the next generation of weaponry, including, as he often speaks about, an iron dome that will one day perhaps save millions

of lives. and our logistics are unmatched. we don't need ukraine. they do rely on us, and they have been as successful as they have been because of the hundreds of billions of dollars of your money that has been spent on this war that has ended right now in a stalemate. the american people stop paying that money. they will be in an awful position. you have generously supported them financially, militarily. we've offered humanitarian aid. and this, of course, in their brave fight against a truly malignant vladimir putin. nobody disputes that. if this keeps going, there's not going to be a country left. so let's be clear. zelenskyy's behavior today at the white house, it's unacceptable. but don't take my word for it on x, one of ukraine's biggest supporters in washington, senator lindsey graham, posted this on. fortunately, america was disrespected and the deal is off. i have never been more proud of president trump, vice president vance, for standing up for america first, and then

senator graham went to the microphones, had this to say. take a look. >> most americans witnessing what they saw today would not want zelensky to be their business partner, including me. and i've been to ukraine nine times since the war started. i met with him this morning. president trump i talked to last night, he was upbeat about the deal. i've never been more proud of president trump for showing the american people in the world. you don't trifle with this man. and the question for me, for the ukrainian people, i don't know if zelensky can ever get you to where you want to go with the united states. either he dramatically changes or you need to get somebody new. >> wow. powerful words. now feel free to turn off the noise on fake news. cnn msdnc. in 1986, you may recall a similar cast of characters. they were in a state of panic. remember reagan walked away at the table from reykjavik in the summit

with the soviet union over the issue of sdi strategic defense, mocked by the media. star wars? maybe now we'll call it the iron dome. ultimately, reagan's tough negotiations led to a peaceful end to the cold war. and now zelensky is already trying to clean this disaster up on x writing quote. thank you america. thank you for your support. thank you for this visit. thank you to the president of the united states congress, the american people and ukraine needs a just and lasting peace. and we are working exactly for that. apparently, he even tried to come back to meet with trump at the white house. take a look. >> 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 has got all of the cards. that doesn't mean he can fight. he has got to stop the fighting. stop the death. well, he says he wants it now. he wants to come back right now. but i

can't do that. >> meanwhile, zelensky did sit down with our very own bret baier on special report. and this is what he had to say. >> so i'm not hearing from you, mr. president, a thought that you owe the president an apology. >> no, i respect president, and i respect american people. and if i don't know if i think that we have to be very open and very honest, and i'm not sure that we did something bad. i think maybe sometimes some some, some things we have to discuss out of out of media with all respect to democracy and to free media. but there are things that where we have to understand the position of ukraine and ukrainians, and i think that is the most important thing. yes, we are partners. you know, we are very close partners. we have to be fair. we have to be we have to be very free here. >> now with more. the host of special report, our friend bret baier, is with us, by the way.

great interview tonight, sean. that to me was the $1 billion or 200 billion or $300 billion question. what do you think of the answer? >> i tried three times to make sure he was understanding exactly what i was saying. it was, marc thiessen said. it was like watching a man drowning who was not taking the life preserver. he did not apologize. he regretted that it happened. he said it was bad and that it was bad for the ukrainian people, that that happened in front of the media. but he did not read the room. he didn't read the room here in the interview, and he didn't read the room in the oval office. maybe he thought it was similar to negotiating with president biden and talking like he was talking to president biden. obviously, president trump is a much different president, and vice president vance is a much different vice president. and the fact that it happened in front of cameras, i think, you know, really was a bad moment

for everybody. >> i don't think it was necessarily. >> not a bad moment for the president. i don't think a bad moment for zelensky. >> zelensky for europe. i think it was terrible. i mean, however, president trump was the only guy that would be able to get putin to the negotiating table. now, i know before this meeting that ten u.s. senators met with zelensky and they told him this is going to be a three step process. you're going to sign the mineral deal today. you're going to be appreciative of the mineral deal that will ensure u.s. presence in your country. that will help you. the president will advocate for european troops that will be there for security reasons. that was discussed this morning as well. the second phase of this would hopefully be a cease fire, and maybe that could have possibly, maybe happened today. and then after that, a negotiated settlement, which would have been the hardest part. so it's not like he went in there today not knowing what the agenda was. >> and i asked him specifically

that because i had the same intel that that not only did the senators say that, including senator graham, but also the white house and in their interactions with the ukrainians, have been saying it for days and weeks, saying that this is a step in the process. you do the minerals deal first, and then we talk about the negotiation going forward, what the security guarantee looks like. and that's really what he wanted to talk about again and again, which was the security guarantee, which, you know, listen, he said it probably five, six seven times in my interview. >> what now i'm kind of asking you to give a little analysis based on everything that you know and your exclusive interview tonight. what happens if the us stops providing money to ukraine? i don't think europe is going to step up and put in make up the difference, because they've been unwilling to do so up to this point. so at that point that there will be more death, more destruction, and there will be more dominance by russia. that

will be the worst case scenario for everybody involved, in my humble opinion. i'd like to see the death stop. i'd like to see the destruction stop. the better part of the deal is, okay, we're going to help them extract these, these rare earth minerals that will help give them the money, provide them the money to begin to rebuild their country. what an opportunity that was missed. >> yeah. you know, listen, i talked to french president macron earlier in the week. he said he's trying to get europe to do more, including france. they're at just over 2% as far as defense spending and nato. i talked to the uk prime minister. they want to do more. said they'll do peacekeepers there at about 2.5%. you know, these are numbers where they they're they're low as far as what they're contributing individually, not only to nato but into ukraine comparatively now as europe, they've they've put in about $140 billion. that said, it's not enough if the us steps aside, if the weapons stop, if the us stops its

support, you're right. europe probably can't do it alone. despite their encouraging words that they tweeted out today. and that's why today was so detrimental to the entire picture. the all of the leaders macron, sturmer, zelensky even acknowledged that this would not happen without president trump. he is the only person with this catalyst to change the paradigm that maybe, maybe there could be peace. and that's why it was so screwed up. what happened in the oval office. >> and you gave him every opportunity i thought to fix it. and you're right. i think you kept throwing him a lifeline. you might want to go here and to make sure that he understood. and i was a fascinating interview on what was an incredible day. bret baier, special report. we appreciate you being with us. thanks, bret. all right. here now with more analysis, senior fellow at the hoover institute, victor davis hanson. victor, i want to step back. if you recall, when putin was amassing troops on the border with

ukraine, remember that famous moment when biden was asked, what if they invade? what are you going to do now? i would argue prior to that, had joe biden been a strong president, he would have started some type of negotiation and diplomacy. he did not. and then he was asked, what will you do if he invades? and i thought it was inevitable. people that were saying, oh, he's not going, i thought were nuts. and he said, well, it depends if it's just a minor incursion. and at that moment i realized that that to me was a green light to go in. then, you know, 2 or $300 billion, i don't know how much money we ultimately put in a fortune of us money. it seems to me to have evolved into a proxy war between the us and russia, and we became the main source of defense for zelensky. he didn't seem to appreciate that today. >> you know, i think his problem, sean, is that the people he feels most comfortable with and akin to

have no power to help him, and that's europe and the out-of-power democrats and the people who can help him he doesn't feel comfortable with. and that's donald trump. the second thing is he thinks that our interests are exactly the same as him. they're they're similar to his. but we are a superpower and we have obligations. we don't want china to align with russia, two nuclear powers. we don't want a proxy war on the doorstep of a nuclear power that go to defcon two, like we saw in 1962 with cuba. and, you know, the tragedy, sean, is we were that close because all of the main issues had basically been resolved by trump. they were not going to be in nato. they were not going to be militarily able to recapture crimea and donbas. the only two issues were how far could donald trump force putin back to his 2022 point borders, and how would he be deter it? and he came up with this idea of making a commercial corridor to get

prosperity. and also it was a tripwire. so there would be westerners there that putin would not want to dare, you know, bother. i think, you know, just to finish on, he should take a notebook from benjamin netanyahu. the biden administration was very hostile to him. they ordered him to have a cease fire. they ordered him to have a wartime cabinet. they warned him about collateral damage. they didn't do any of that to zelensky. and yet when netanyahu came over there, he knew there was a hostile administration. he was gracious. he understood that he was a client. and talking to a patron as a guest, to a host, and he was able to weather that and deal with the biden administration and all good things happened. but he didn't do what zelensky did. >> i think that's a great analogy. victor davis hanson, i really do. i predict zelensky, he's going to be back. he has to be back. you know how much

more death and destruction will will it take for him to come back? >> yes. and he donald trump has worked very hard. he's not putin's puppet. putin is afraid of donald trump because he's unpredictable. he proved that in his first administration. zelensky knows that donald trump is this close to getting a deal. and zelensky, if he's wise, he'll call trump up. he will apologize. he'll get right back over here and resume it, and it will be in everybody's interest. and i think he'll have to do that. and i hope he does. >> i hope he does. he had an opportunity with bret baer tonight and i was shocked when i interviewed him. i told him this is going to be a negotiated settlement. i said that some mineral deal is going to be made with the us, and you'd pay back the us for all the money that they'd given you. i said, you're not going to be in nato. and there's you're probably going to have to give up land. he never answered any of my questions one time, and it became a little frustrating to me. but

i'm it's sad because more people. >> he understands the irony. yeah. his friends can't help him. and the people he he was hostile to can really help him. and that's donald trump, because donald trump alone can deter putin and get a deal. and the europeans and the left here in the united states cannot do that. >> all right. well said victor davis hanson, great to have you. thank you. when we come back, the media mob, they after all these years, they do not understand donald trump. they had a meltdown over donald trump standing up for the american people and trying to create peace in europe and around the world. clay travis, joe concha next with reaction. >> from our restaurant's. >> been. >> in business for. >> 17 years. american technology. and innovation are a part of. >> everything we do, from helping us attract new customers to facilitating deliveries through websites and apps. i'm really excited about what artificial intelligence can do for small businesses like ours. this game changing

oval office today. let's take a look, shall we? >> we come in. the air hours after an oval office ambush of an american ally that will reverberate all around the world and stain america's image for years to come. it revealed instead, a donald trump and a j.d. vance, clearly on an errand for vladimir putin. they are popping the champagne in moscow. they've got their best vodka out, and they're doing shots as we speak. >> there's no question. >> that's exactly the same thought that went through my head. >> the propaganda is what's. >> coming out of j.d. >> vance's mouth and it's russian propaganda. >> caitlin, i want to start with. look at her face. i mean, christiane. hold. hold that thought for once. okay. actually, christiane, please take it away. >> never in the history of modern diplomacy. war, peace, whatever have i ever, ever, ever seen anything like. >> yeah. that's because you've never had a leader like donald trump. here with reaction. our friend clay travis. our other

friend, fox news contributor joe concha. the most amazing thing is, and i'll start with you, joe, because this is your wheelhouse. the media, an ambush propaganda for putin. he's trying to end a war that is killing hundreds of thousands of people. it is destroying an entire country and america. they've been using america's hundreds of billions of dollars to fight this war, and it would be in everybody's best interest. but vladimir wants him to take his side. okay. you know, not vladimir. president zelenskyy wants him to take his side. fine. you can ask for that. but that will not bring peace to europe and peace to your country. and your country will continue to be brought to ruins, and more of your countrymen will be dead. that's the choice he's facing. >> yeah. >> and yet we have our patently dishonest and. >> lazy media again. >> claiming that president trump is on. >> the side. >> of russia. to your point, while he's trying to broker a

peace that would save ukraine and end this stalemate that would have otherwise lasted in perpetuity as long as a democrat administration was in power and in the process draining, what, 350 billion u.s. taxpayer dollars with 100 billion unaccounted for. for those who need to be reminded of this again, putin invaded other countries when george w bush, barack obama, joe biden when they were president, the only u.s. president in office in the 21st century when putin didn't invade anyone was when donald trump was in power. in this case, just watch the full 46 minute video from today, because it's clear zelensky came in and tried to dictate u.s. foreign policy as if he was holding, you know, a full house when he doesn't even have a pair of threes. and to publicly challenge trump in front of the world wide media, in his own dojo, his own house. that was that was 31 flavors of stupid. so perhaps this was the breakup before the makeup. zelensky would be wise to apologize. sign that raw minerals deal. but during his interview with bret baer

earlier, it appears that's not going to happen. overall, shawn, 72% of american voters. this is a harvard harris poll. want ukraine to negotiate a settlement to end this war? so if the media thinks there's this groundswell of support for zelensky and this war, they're completely disconnected from the public again. and by the way, would it kills zelensky to wear a suit when he goes to the oval office? this guy looked like he was about to go raise the roof at a discotheque in budapest. you know, show some respect, please. >> well, i mean, i brought up the point earlier. good point. i understand that's the least of my worries, the clothes that he's wearing into the oval office. but i will tell you that harvard-harris poll dead on accurate. the american people don't want this. and here is the miscalculation. i think clay on on zelensky's part. he thinks he's holding cards. he said, i'm not playing cards. he has no cards to hold. and without the us and basically biden giving, giving him so much money that it evolved into a proxy war with

the us and russia. donald trump is trying to put an end to it, save lives, help them rebuild their country by doing a business deal with them that would create a us presence in ukraine. and he just blew that up. today. >> i don't understand what any critic. actually wants here. sean. we know this war is over. unfortunately ukraine lost. i wish that russia had not invaded. i wish there was no war anywhere in the world. but what trump is doing. joe made a really good point there. the reason why ukraine got invaded was because joe biden came into office. vladimir putin had four years to invade ukraine while trump was president. he didn't. do you know why? because he feared how trump might respond. trump has been in office for, what, 45 days ish now, and he's already on the precipice of ending this war. why can we not have an immediate ceasefire? and for everybody out there who is losing their minds and

deciding to criticize donald trump? what is your endgame scenario here? ukraine isn't winning. spring is coming soon. russia is inexorably advancing closer and closer and taking more and more of ukrainian territory. the time for a cease fire is now. the time for peace is now, and the time for americans to be spending hundreds of billions of dollars in a war that ukraine cannot win is over. trump is being eminently reasonable. he's trying to avoid war. he is the good guy here. i don't want to get fired up. i wish putin hadn't invaded. he's a bad guy. zelensky isn't perfect either. let's just solve it. >> yeah, and that opportunity was blown. and president trump said, come back when you want peace. all right. we appreciate it, clay. thank you. and joe, thank you. when we come back, another big win for president trump mexico just extradited dozens of notorious cartel leaders to the u.s. and meanwhile, self-proclaimed

world. the trump administration is declaring these thugs as terrorists because that is what they are, and demanding justice for the american people. but of course, the left wing and their dangerous obsession with protecting illegal immigrants and their rights over the safety of american citizens. you have left wing activists out in california now alerting illegals to ice enforcement operations. they are blaring sirens and shouting through bullhorns, clearly intending to disrupt law enforcement operations. here with more. former acting dhs secretary chad wolf. is that a crime? chad. >> well. it certainly could be. obviously, if they're interfering with law enforcement officers and not allowing them to do their job, i think that could be. >> against the law. >> and that's something obviously, the justice department should take a close look at. >> yeah. okay. so i if you're if i were to say tip off somebody about a raid coming. police raid, ice raid. am i not

aiding and abetting in lawbreaking there? >> i think you certainly could be. and look. it's not just that you're leaking the information to the press so that they can do a story on it. you're putting law enforcement lives in danger because that's what's happening here. when law enforcement goes out to do an operation, they largely depend on that element of surprise so that the, the, you know, the targets of that operation don't cause them harm. and so when you leak that information in any number of ways, you're putting law enforcement officers, you're putting members of that community in harm's way. that's why it's so critically important. this is a big issue. and whether you're an internal to dhs or the fbi or whoever, and you're leaking this information or you're a left wing agitator trying to stop ice from doing this, i think, you know, the justice department and others need to take a hard look at this and hold some of those individuals accountable and make an example out of them. >> yeah, i think you're right 100% right. let me ask you

this, because we now have known terrorists in the country. we have cartel members in the country, we have gang members in the country, we have drug dealers in the country. we have, you know, murderers, rapists, known criminals in the country. you know, this job as well as anybody. how is it possible with the estimated 14 plus million people or so unvetted illegals in our country, how do you find all of those bad actors and deport them? i've got to imagine that's going to be a hard job. >> undoubtedly, it's a challenging job. but look, president trump and the team at the department of homeland security and others are up to the challenge. but you've got to do this on a number of fronts. you've obviously got to do it here internally. you've got to work with our foreign partners. you've got to incentivize people to leave voluntarily as well. there's a number of things that can be done here. when it all adds up at the end of the day, is that individuals who don't have a legal right to be here need to be repatriated and removed back

to their home countries. you need to start with the worst of the worst, which they are doing with those hardened criminals. but again, if you don't have a legal right to be here in the united states, and you've gone through our justice system, which millions have, but they've refused to leave, you need to there needs to be a consequence for that and you need to be removed. >> i just find this the most preventable national security event in the history of our country. and for four years, the american people were lied to. the border secured. the border is closed, border secure, border is closed. and americans with eyes to see. we saw that. that was a lie. now we know about all the murders that have taken place. the democratic party seems to have settled on the party that wants to stand up for the rights of men to play in women's sports. they want to stand up as the party that wants all of these woke green new deal, transgender d-i programs to be spent abroad outside the country. and they put the

rights of illegal immigrants over the rights of law abiding americans to keep them safe. politically, it doesn't seem too viable to me. >> no, i think that's exactly right. and i think the american people now know that this was a choice, right? president biden and his and his staff went on tv and anywhere and everywhere to say, look, our hands are tied. we need congress to act. this is up to congress to fix. but yet president trump can fix it on his own. they had the same ability. they just chose not to exercise it. and they didn't have the leadership to make those decisions. >> all right, chad wolf, thank you for being with us. when we come back, the democratic party still in shambles. oh, who does biden blame for his ouster? we finally know the details. thanks to transparency from you. got it. donald trump, a biden insider also says the campaign was gaslighting the american people. why don't you tell us ahead of time? full details straight ahead. >> looking to take your brand national with fox news media?

flexibility, and balance. plus, stimulate healthy circulation. >> and tonight the democratic party is still in shambles. and now new information about infighting prior to biden's ouster is now being revealed. oh, if only we knew at the time. during an interview, president trump spoke about his oval office meeting with joe biden following his november victory. he revealed that biden said he blames obama and pelosi. who told you he suspected that? that'd be me. take a look. >> and i asked him. i said, so who do you blame? because he was very angry and he was a very angry guy, actually. and he said, i blame barack. and i never think of him as barack. you know, you always hear obama. you say, you have to think about that for a second. and he said, and i also blame nancy pelosi. i said, what

about the vice president? he said, no, i don't blame her. which was interesting. he didn't blame her. he blamed her. he told me he blamed those two people. >> and by the way, in the back of my mind, that jackass, you know, third rate actor who thinks he's so great, george clooney. why do i think i know he's friends with obama? i wonder if he talked to obama before he wrote that op ed. now, keep in mind, former biden press secretary karine jean-pierre echoed a similar sentiment this week. take a look. >> it was a firing. >> squad and i had never seen anything like it before. i had never seen a party do that in the way that they did. and it was hurtful and sad to see that happening. a firing squad around a person who i believe was a true patriot. a person who i believe did everything that he can for this country. >> also this week, a former biden aide admitted the campaign was, quote, gaslighting the american people

by dismissing concerns over the president's age. oh, thank you for sharing. take a look. >> there are some things that are true. i mean, like the gaslighting, there was a lot of denial of the polling. and i will use the term gaslight because that's what they were doing the campaign. former colleagues, the message to everybody was to make sure that you tell people it's too early. it's too early. these polls don't mean anything. well, it became too early and these polls don't mean anything for about a year and a half. the polls, the numbers never moved, right. and but by denying the data that that was out there publicly, by denying the really insightful journalism that, you know, they were actually demeaning a lot of the people. >> joining us now with reaction, fox news contributor miranda devine, jason chaffetz. it was gaslighting. it was way beyond that. it was a massive cover up. straight out lying to the american people. miranda.

and you know, i remember i played this week laura trump on with fake jake tapper. he's writing a book about the media cover up on this. meanwhile, he was excoriating her back in 2020 for reporting what i was being crucified over, in the sense politically, you know, for saying the obvious, stating the obvious, this guy is a mess. >> well, exactly. >> i mean, anyone. >> who pointed out that joe biden was sort of wandering around the g20 totally lost, kept on forgetting everything, and wandering around, was accused of peddling cheap fakes. do you remember? that was their final response. and you're quite right. it's gaslighting. and i think the reason that the blame game has started is because of, as you call him, fake tapper's book. he, of all people, they're now writing a book which claims to

be the last word on the cover up of joe biden's senility. and they're blaming joe biden. they're saying he shouldn't have run for a second term, which is correct. he shouldn't have run for a second term, but he shouldn't have run for a first term. and they can blame each other all they like. the real culprit is their policies. and we saw today with what happened in the oval office, the manifestation of part of that, and donald trump trying to clean up their messes. >> yeah, it was so obvious before 2020. we hold these truths to be self-evident. all men and women are created by the thing. jason. you know, the thing that would be god, the creator of everything. and but it was more it was almost every day before 2020. and then people like me would point out the obvious, play the tape and let people decide. and wow, i did a horrible thing. and then all of a sudden, now, you know, here we are, all these years later, they're going to join on

board. well, a little late for my liking. >> it was. >> well beyond gaslighting. it was flat out lying. they were lying and deceiving the american people. they were doing it in unison. they were doing it in mass. it was an out and out lie. and you know what? for fake jake tapper to go on and write a book that's published 30 days after the president is sworn in, you all three of us have written books. you have to submit that manuscript well in advance, months in advance, in order to get it published, which means he was writing it. he wasn't reporting it. and that's that guy is just he just thinks the american people are suckers because he had that story. he didn't run that story. he waited until after the election because he had a he had a horse in that race and it was joe biden. but i don't blame everybody but joe biden. joe biden said he was going to pass the torch, and they could have they could have stepped out a year before that. and these people never trusted the democratic voters. they never trusted him. well, because they

actually didn't go through a real process. >> why why doesn't he blame kamala harris? miranda. and do you agree with me? well, i know for a fact clooney and obama are friends. do you think clooney did that without any prompting from obama? i have my own personal suspicion. >> oh, it seems pretty obvious that george clooney doesn't really think for himself. he was doing the bidding of his good friend barack obama. but i don't actually believe joe biden's line about his not blaming kamala harris, because we've seen on a number of occasions now since the election, where both jill biden and joe biden have iced out kamala harris in public occasions. so they're pretty dirty on her. i think joe biden realized halfway through the campaign that kamala harris had put up her good friend, laurene jobs, to do private polling, which she circulated around donors showing that joe biden

had no chance after the debate. and then the donors shut their wallets. and i think joe biden has good cause to suspect that kamala harris was playing her own game on that. >> yeah, i suspect that. jason, what about you? >> yeah. look, i don't think kamala harris had it in her. i think the way joe biden quickly put kamala harris in that position and endorsed her was kind of, quite frankly, screwing over barack obama and nancy pelosi and the rest of the democratic party, because there's no way she would have gotten the nomination by herself. so it was, hey, you did this to me. i'm going to do this back to you. and that's. >> why i don't think either one of. >> them was going to ever beat donald trump. by the way. >> i don't think i don't think either one, their policies failed. and, you know, when she when kamala went on the view and said she did nothing differently, that was over when she couldn't do interviews. that was over when people find out about taxpayer funded sex change operations for illegals,

that's over. her radicalism was way out of touch with the american people. anyway, guys, we appreciate you coming on this friday night as we continue more hannity straight ahead. >> g. nova powers america every day as the leading american energy manufacturer, we've never stopped building the technologies that drive today's economy and define the future of energy. we know an abundant, independent and secure energy system starts here at home. it's why we're investing millions in american manufacturing and creating thousands of new jobs. together, we will lead a new era of energy for america and the world. >> ge with. >> allegra. >> i hope. >> you can. >> stop being. >> sneezy without feeling sleepy. >> get 0%. >> brain.
