and you do wonder if vladimir zelensky has left the building some other way. and this is just the motorcade getting ready to bring the rest of the delegation out, or whether they're just going to remove this vehicle here now that zelensky has left. so my understanding is that zelensky is still in the building, and we're going to see that departure here momentarily. but reuters does have this headline out that suggests that he has already left the building. it's a little bit confusing right now, and this is not how things are supposed to go. and we're going to watch it and. >> see exactly right. and we still have michael o'hanlon standing by. michael, to share your point of view. you know, again, on the meeting itself, the fact the ukrainian president has now left the president of the us saying he can come back when he's ready for peace, where does that leave us? >> well, that's good, you know, i mean, we're learning a bit about donald trump, a person we know pretty well by this point. but nonetheless, i haven't seen him in this many spats with somebody that he

thank you. >> get a thumbs up from vladimir zelensky. but we are waiting to see if he departs in that vehicle that you see parked outside of the white house. because that was, to say the least, the most contentious confrontation between world leaders perhaps we have ever seen, certainly on television in the oval office and the president of the united states refusing to answer the question, which is a critical question if a deal is made and vladimir putin breaks it, then what? he went off and started talking about barack obama and joe biden and hunter biden, and he says he wants to make a deal. he's never broken a deal with me, but did not respond to the question, nor what president zelensky had said earlier. how many times vladimir putin in the past has broken deals? i want to go, first of all, if i can, back to yamiche alcindor, because i know now we have information about what happens next and it's not a press conference. correct? >> that's right. white house officials have said that the press conference that was planned between volody

think those of us who watched it with our own non trumpified eyes didn't see vladimir zelensky being disrespectful to donald trump. they saw a man who was based in the reality of his country having been invaded by russia, and. tens of thousands of his citizens. murdered. to speak up for basic ground. truth against, you know, the sort of. fugue of lies and disinformation and kremlin talking points that trump and vance were offering. so, you know, i wouldn't speculate about it going forward, chris, but i think that what we're seeing is what we finally people have to recognize. donald trump is not a supporter of ukraine. he is. >> on the other. >> side of this war. the question i have is what. >> if anything. >> are his allies. >> in the. >> republican party going to do about it, who have been blustering. >> and claiming. >> that they're supporters of ukraine for the last few years? well. now they may have to choose between their alleged principles and their fealty to donald trump. >> and remembering that marco rubio was reported to be one of the people who told ukrainian officials that

course, to hear an american president talk about an ally, the way he's talking about vladimir, vladimir zelenskys he said nothing about vladimir putin, who actually is a dictator who actually does have manipulated elections that are not democratic, who actually is the one who launched the invasion, full scale invasion three years ago. >> trump said. yesterday you. >> started it, meaning the ukrainians. of course they did not start it. he said today that zelensky tricked the united states into giving him $250 billion to go to war. obviously not true. and what's remarkable about it, of course, is we never see anything like this from an american president. and what is his goal? you know, he has had a thing about ukraine going back years. he was convinced that ukraine interfered in the 2016 election against him. that's a russian talking point. but it's one that he has accepted and he has been there for, you know, had antipathy toward ukraine ever since. it was part of his first impeachment back in 2018 and 19, or, sorry, 2019 and 20. and i think that that's just his head has always been in a, in a,

we were supposed to see a joint press conference between those leaders, but president vladimir zelensky of ukraine has left the white house in just the last 15 minutes or so. checking the market reaction, stocks turned lower on the news and then briefly went positive again, but are now fractionally in the red now. so it's been a volatile session, although not by major amounts. it's still typical of what we've seen with developments out of the trump administration on anything from tariffs to geopolitics. >> we're also coming against a tough market stretch. we're down on the week. the nasdaq is down 5% on the week. that's a big number. haven't seen that in a couple of years. now the nasdaq and the s&p are negative on the year as well. so the sentiment coming in had already you could argue down priced in a lot of concerns about these issues. and again now trying to figure out the significance of what we've just seen. >> i mean, this in addition to invidia and all of the tech weakness that we've seen, it's i wouldn't call it the perfect storm. it's not to be melodramatic, but you get the id

we expect vladimir zelensky to be at the white house. and donald trump says they're going to sign this rare earth minerals deal. but vladimir zelensky, as i understand it, said the deal had not been finalized. do you know what the daylight is? >> well. >> a lot of it is in the specifics. there's a lot of daylight, or rather details. you know, the devil is in the details. it's a it's a devilish document right now. and i actually think that's in zelensky's interest. so to go back to one of the big themes that we've been talking about here. how do foreign leaders appease trump? how do they play trump? we i think, are in agreement that it what you do is you give them the theatrics, you give them the photo ops, you give them the reality show. and so i think from zelensky's perspective, if the deal, if the details are not nailed down, that's better than some of the an earlier version of the document, which was actually more detailed in a way that was worse for ukraine, more economic sacrifice, more commitment to america, and no security guaran

. >> vladimir zelensky. >> former ukrainian foreign minister dmytro. >> kuleba tells cnbc. >> trump only considers one thing. >> i believe he. >> doesn't care. >> i believe. >> he does not care. about any single country in the world. >> except the. united states. >> and it's. >> a mixed bag. >> for uk chancellor. >> rachel reeves, as uk retail sales. >> come in. >> way higher than. >> expected in january. but debt levels stick at their highest since the days of the beatles and leonardo tops. full year expectations to cap a. >> blockbuster week for defense stocks. with the sector surging on expectations. for higher. >> european spending levels. >> leonardo ceo. roberto galani. >> tells cnbc governments need to do more. >> we have to. >> make europe stronger. >> and especially. >> a more reliable partner for the nato alliance. >> on one hand, but on the other hand, we have to be a continent which is. >> ready to defend itself. >> i mean. our east border is. >> not. >> safe and we have to. >> this has to be clear. >> to everybody. >> very good. morning to you. >> let's kick off today's. >>

vladimir putin. this is something that is should be chilling to people who are paying attention. it is orwellian to describe zelensky as a dictator and refuse to criticize vladimir putin. language does matter. and if you do have a disinformation bubble where the president united states is parroting russian talking points, but there's a strategic alliance is being rewritten to put the united states on the same side as an autocratic aggressor. that is not where we want to be. that is not who we are. it is not where we've been in the past. and it's a disgrace if republicans are silent about this. >> just to just to that point. i mean, this is an assault on the post-world war two order. and i know that sounds like gobbledygook coming out the beltway, but just to bring it home to people, this means that instead of being able to rely on a nato alliance that keeps us out of foreign entanglements, that keeps american troops off the ground, and god knows where far flung parts of the world. it means that you can use strategic soft power to prevent american troops from having to be deployed across the world. donald trump has,

vladimir zelensky left the white house, canceled a number of meetings scheduled throughout washington, d.c, this afternoon. but he did go over to fox news channel, where he had a meeting, a meeting scheduled, an interview scheduled with the anchor there, bret baier. we're told that interview appears to have gone on, so we'll see what zelenskyy has to say after this as well. another remarkable sort of moment from that exchange just there, mike, i'm going to have to go back and look at the transcript of what the president just said. it appeared to me that he said that among the things that he wants zelensky to do is to stop saying negative things about vladimir putin. he said he says putin this putin, that he needs to want to make peace, which is a remarkable thing to ask of a wartime leader whose country has been invaded and atrocities committed on his soil and is fighting for the existence of his country, to not say negative comments about the leader of the country that's doing that to you. i don't know how zelensky can respond to those terms. you know,

where does this animus towards vladimir zelensky come from? does is it he treats him like a little man. he calls him a comedian. he's like. a secondary player with with contempt. i thought the tweets, the tweet yesterday was snide. it was just a gratuitous piling on. and he's continuing with the. >> speech last night. >> so i just know where where we seem to be heading right now is an accommodation between the us and russia, and then a european decision to stand with, with, with zelensky. and that would mean a break not only with zelensky, but a real break between the united states and europe. that's the danger of the moment. >> more morning joe. >> more morning joe. >> weekend after. with fatigue and light-headedness, i knew something was wrong. then i saw my doctor and found out i have afib, and that means there's about a 5 times greater risk of stroke. symptoms like irregular heartbeat, heart racing, chest pain, shortness of breath, fatigue, or light-headedness, can come and go. but if you have afib, the risk of stroke is always there. if y

intelligence from the united states and close allies currently shows that russian president vladimir zelensky still wants to control all of ukraine. this is according to four western intelligence officials and two u.s. congressional officials. the six officials said they believe putin could agree to a ceasefire and broader peace deal, because it would give his military time to reset and rebuild. now, this is obviously contrary to what president trump and secretary rubio have said. they are all saying they think putin wants a permanent peace. but is this a bit of a if you give a mouse a cookie situation, right. if you give putin the donbas, is he going to stop there or is he going to want the rest of ukraine? >> well, it. >> seems to. >> me, christina, from that reporting that president trump and even his national security team is not listening to the intelligence that's coming in, because i think that intelligence is entirely right. look, we. >> are. >> witnessing firsthand the betrayal of ukraine, an ally who the u.s. has very ably supported, and also the rehabilitation of russia, which don'

president trump said he also called ukrainian president vladimir zelensky, who said they discussed opportunitieso achieve peace. but it's unclear at this point whether zelensky will have any role in those negotiations. >> we had a great call and it lasted for a long time, over an hour. this morning i also had with president zelensky a very good call after that, and i think we're on the way to getting peace. i think president putin wants peace and president zelensky wants peace, and i want peace. i just want to see people stop getting killed. >> president trump also said he opposes ukraine joining nato, something putin has also opposed. fox's rebecca castro has more on the negotiations. and the american teacher released from a russian prison yesterday. >> everybody knows mark. he's become a very famous guy. >> president trump is racking up big diplomatic wins this week, welcoming home american teacher mark fogel tuesday night, who spent more than three years detained in russia. >> this event shows a good faith effort from russia. and it's a sign, as i just said, that we are moving in the right di

donald trump reaching out to vladimir putin this week and president zelensky. and then on top of that, we learned just here this weekend at the munich security conference that treasury secretary scott traveled to ukraine this week. and while there, he presented vladimir zelensky with a plan for the united states to assume or absorb 50% of ukraine's critical minerals. alex, essentially, the plan here would be for the us to take these over potentially trillions of dollars in potential revenue here for the united states, basically as a way for ukraine to pay the us back for all the weapons and assistance that they've been giving. zelensky declined to sign this document. alex. >> i was going to say his reaction. did he say anything relative to that other than not signing that document? >> he didn't. he said that they he did not sign it. he needed to take more time to read it. but today, at that same the same event that we just saw the exchange from, he said that the us and he are still talking about it. okay. >> courtney, thank you so much. i know we'll see you aga

vladimir putin couldn't. dream that this might be what would happen, that the. united states would suddenly flip on zelenskyl, because we are now acting and the president is acting in the interests of vladimir putin and against the interests of liberty and freedom. >> do you have a theory as to why? >> i do, i do. you know, donald trump. i've watched him for a long time. he doesn't read history or know the traditions of the united states. what he does is he loves at a visceral gut level, loves strength. and he looks at putin, who is unconstrained in his dictatorial power. he looks at xi. watch what happens in china. he looks at xi, who is unconstrained in his dictatorial power. and he says, i want to be that guy. and he looks at zelensky and he looks at taiwan, i think, and says, look, that's weak. those countries are small and weak. they don't have, you know, fleets. >> of. >> of bombers and stuff. and so for him, it's just, you know, strength is good and weakness and vulnerability is bad. and that is going to be the driving principle, by the way, domestic policy as well. we're about to pass budget bills w

now he's putting new pressure on vladimir zelensky to sign away his country's critical resources to theding the war? we're standing by for white house press briefing with the national security adviser. plus, on the cusp of confirmation after clearing a procedural hurdle, trump loyalist kash patel is now on the verge of becoming the next

president vladimir zelensky unraveled into an extraordinary clash right inside the white house today.tempers flared during a televised oval office visit, described by reporters in the oval as a, quote, hostile ambush. mr. trump and vice president vance admonished zelensky for what they perceived as him not being grateful enough for u.s. support. >> i've empowered you to be a tough guy, and i don't think you'd be a tough guy without the united states, and your people are very brave. but you're either going to make a deal or we're out. and if we're out, you'll fight it out. i don't think it's going to be pretty, but you'll fight it out. but you don't have the cards. but once we sign that deal, you're in a much better position. but you're not acting. >> trump and zelensky cut their meeting short and abandoned talks on a rare earth minerals deal in exchange for further u.s. support. zelensky left the white house just over two hours after his arrival, and the two leaders canceled a joint news conference. >> the first phase of a ceasefire deal between israel and hamas expires this weekend.

needing to have more autonomy so that it doesn't face it never finds itself in the position that vladimir zelensky found himself today. and watching that. and i've never seen anything like this either. i kept having that same question was this a setup or was this just a meeting that went badly that that, as you said, president zelensky took the bait. and when he started talking about we still need security guarantees. yes, we'll sign this mineral deal, but don't forget security guarantees because russia is going to come and invade us again. jd vance chimed in and said, you don't get it. your role here is to be quiet, to sign and say thank you. and president zelensky wasn't comfortable in that role. and then it escalated and escalated. and i agree with with baker, i think this is probably the beginning of a new kind of relationship where president trump starts to consider putin the enemy. >> i have so many questions, richard. and again, i've never seen anything like that either. i mean, obviously with donald trump, you know what to expect and that it is going to be out of the norm, to put it mildly

. >> ukrainian president vladimir zelensky is insisting on security guarantees before agreeing to anyt would end the war in ukraine. during a meeting with vice president j.d. vance, zelenskyy said ukraine must be part of any peace plan negotiations. president trump says ukraine would likely have to give up some of the territory seized by russia as part of a potential peace deal. the u.s. ruled out nato membership for ukraine. >> the 44 is next. we have a kayakers unbelievable encounter with a humpback whale. this one's hard to swallow. and one man's extraordinary search to find a lost bitcoin. you probably go to great lengths to when orland and sandy are joining us today. and let's begin with a kayaker's unreal encounter at sea. look at this. this is video of a 24 year old getting scooped up. ooh. and then later spit out by a humpback whale near the strait of magellan in southern chile. the video was shot by the man's father. let's watch it again because it's so unbelievable. the man said he thought he was going to die, but thankfully his life vest pulled him back to the surface. mari

up next, details on the war of words brewing between president trump and vladimir zelensky. we'll talk to an expert on how this could impact peace talks. >> also coming up, the arctic blast hitting millions of americans. coming up, how it could hinder cleanup efforts after the weekend's deadly floods. >> oh, boy. after taking a look at that, let's see a show of hands who's all ready for some spring fever? okay, i see you out there. your bay area forecast is coming up i told myself i was ok with my moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis symptoms... ...with my psoriatic arthritis symptoms. but just ok isn't ok. and i was done settling. if you still have symptoms after trying a tnf blocker like humira or enbrel, rinvoq works differently. rinvoq is a once-daily pill that can rapidly relieve joint pain, stiffness, and swelling as fast as 2 weeks for some. and even at the 3-year mark, many people felt this relief. rinvoq can stop joint damage. and in psa, can leave skin clear or almost clear. rinvoq can lower ability to fight infections. before treatment, test for tb and do blood

. >> today, president trump called ukrainians vladimir zelensky a dictator without elections. the comment came as tensions flared between the two presidents over efforts to end the war between ukraine and russia. fox's rebecca castor has more from washington. >> after nearly three years of war with ukraine, russia is at the table, ready to strike a deal to end the fighting. >> i came away today convinced that they are willing to begin to engage in a serious process. >> u.s. officials held talks with russian diplomats yesterday, but ukrainian officials were not invited. and president zelenskyy is adamant his country be involved in negotiations. president trump says they will be, but also threw some blame on zelensky. >> i heard, oh well, we weren't invited. well, you've been there for three years. you should have ended it three years. you should have never started it. you could have made a deal. >> part of trump's peace plan includes holding elections in ukraine, which is likely a nonstarter for zelenskyy, since millions of ukrainians have fled the country and hundreds of thous

he can call vladimir zelensky a dictator.utin a dictator or president xi of china a dictator, knowing very well that those two would probably have much harsher response to donald trump using that language against them. >> but that's what bullies do. you go after who you deem to be weaker than you, and in terms of size and money and power, ukraine is that to the united states. and of course, we know that donald trump, as hillary clinton said, way back, way back when, when america decided not to listen to her, was that he is vladimir putin's puppet, right? he's putin's puppet, like vladimir putin says jump. donald trump says how high? right. he's probably the one that said, you know what? we could you know what? you could get out of ukraine. it's not just about me, donald trump. you know what? you could get minerals. we know how much you're after that because of your obsession with the ai race. and we know what you need. and that's why you want to go after greenland. and these are the places is for the minerals. so put him on d

president vladimir zelensky. >> a dictator without elections. zelensky better move fast or he's not going to have a country left. got to move, got to move fast. i love ukraine, but zelensky has done a terrible job. his country is shattered and millions and millions of people have unnecessarily died. >> okay, we want to do a quick fact check here. zelensky is, in fact not a dictator. i was. actually in ukraine monitoring. >> the election. >> when zelensky ran. and physically i took this photo you see on your screen, physically watched them count the votes at different polling stations. zelensky won overwhelmingly. that's his pile there on the right. and at the time was thought of as a very trumpian figure, right, anti-establishment, tv star turned politician who later found himself thrust on the international stage after the russian invasion. but this anti zelensky rhetoric coming from the white house is already being echoed on capitol hill. the us also canceled a joint press conference planned between president zelensky and u.s. special envoy to

when you and your brother had to talk about going public, about donald trump's phone call to vladimir zelensky and holding withholding power, i'm pretty sure the two of you, he was in your office, he came to your office. and i'm pretty sure the two of you both knew you were going to lose your careers over this. >> well, look, we had a duty. we were active duty army officers. we had a duty. we were. we had taken an oath to the constitution, and we performed our duty. our jobs were not as important as our oath to the constitution and the american people. and, you know, when you think about the nominees that we've seen this week, is there one quality? is their loyalty to the president of the united states? it's not experience. it's not judgment, it's not capability. and that's completely reversed from what it should be. these people are being hired to serve the american people, american national security interests, the safety of americans. but the only thing that that the senate is looking for, and the president is looking for republican members in the senate, is loyalty. and that is a complete r

how is that conversation and a desire to negotiate a peace, even though vladimir, vladimir zelensky wasthat call? how is that conversation so far, news of it going over in congress? >> well, listen, katie, it doesn't have to be explicitly stated. it's mood music, right? i mean, the president president trump is and his vice president and his and his secretary of defense, pete hegseth, are much more willing to enter into settlement agreements over the war in ukraine with ukraine getting not having the totality of its country and its control. that's something that they acknowledge as the reality. and the borders are not going to go back to where they were. so ipso facto, maybe the kremlin is more willing to cooperate on some of these prisoner swaps, more willing than the biden administration, which basically said, our appetite for giving money to ukraine is effectively unending, and we want ukraine to be able to defend itself. >> all right. jake sherman, thank you very much. still ahead, more executive orders are being challenged in court today. what decisions could come down on the future

he was asked about his statements about vladimir, vladimir zelensky being a dictator, and he said, did i say that? i can't believe i said that. next question. let's remind folks of what president trump did say just on february 19th. >> think of it. a modestly successful comedian, a dictator without elections. zelensky, better move fast or he's not going to have a country left. >> so for a lot of folks, zelensky tomorrow and i want to ask you specifically about that. but i was thinking about some sort of parallel when he was asking about asked about whether or not the united states would be there for the uk if they came under threat. and, and you heard starmer say, we've always been there for each other. right. but how does zelensky approach this tomorrow, knowing what you know about him and the way that over the course of three years, he has kept a lot of the world's attention on what's happening in his country? >> well, first. >> before i get to that excellent question, i just. >> want. >> to underscore something. you just showed that it's easy on social media. >> and it's easy. >> wh

made some brief remarks off the top about the president's calls with vladimir putin and with vladimir zelenskyjust starting to take questions, though. so as we monitor that, i can tell you that the white house press secretary is calling the release of mark fogel a, quote, good faith effort by russia. she also just said that several top administration officials, including vice president j.d. vance and secretary of state marco rubio, are now set to meet with zelenskyy this friday at the munich security conference. now this all comes, chris, as you said, mark fogel released yesterday, we learned that the u.s. had exchanged that russian cyber criminal alexander vinnik. and we're also learning just within the past hour or so, that three detainees have now also now been released from belarus, including an american citizen. so certainly a lot of fast moving developments here, as the white house tries to make the case that president trump is furthering the cause for peace here. now, the president also saying in that social media post that he called it a productive talk with vladimir putin and saying t

but an aide close to president vladimir zelensky tells nbc news. ukraine was still not invited. joining me now, democratic congressman from illinois, mike quigley. he is a member of the appropriations and intelligence committees. congressman, it's always good to see you on the show. so here's the question. ukrainian president zelensky tells meet the press this morning he won't agree to any deal that is negotiated without them. so where are the benefits to a two track approach? could it be a starting point, or will it have to then start over with ukraine addressing what's best for ukraine to end this war? >> only in the bizarro. >> world of trump foreign policy is the aggrieved party left out. at the beginning of these discussions. obviously, putin invaded ukraine, committed extraordinary war crimes. and if they're not extraordinarily endangered right now, most of eastern europe is as well, because no one in my travels to ukraine during the war, four times and five times to poland, has any one of those leaders expressed the realization that putin's

. >> ukrainian president vladimir zelensky is expected to meet with president trump at the white houseomorrow. president trump says zelensky will sign an economic deal that will allow the u.s. to mine rare earth minerals in ukraine, in return for u.s. aid sent during the war with russia earlier in the week, zelenskyy said a framework of an economic deal had been reached, but that it did not yet include u.s. security guarantees, which he called vital. a full agreement could hinge on tomorrow's in-person negotiations and to stay on top of tomorrow's big visit, just download the fox local app on your smartphone or tv. there, you can find the latest developments surrounding the trump administration. >> new at ten san francisco mayor daniel lurie is expected to swear in mattie scott as the city's next police commissioner tomorrow morning. >> and scott is a longtime violence prevention activist who says she hopes to bring police and communities of color together. ktvu is amber lee spoke with her tonight, and she has more on her vision for law enforcement in the city of san francisco. amber.

moment in the oval office, where it was just a diplomatic meltdown between donald trump and vladimir zelensky over a question. really, the central question here was whether or not zelensky has been grateful enough to the united states and was respectful enough to donald trump, in donald trump's view, in that oval office session. here's how it all played out. >> 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. >> 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. >> remember. >> you're in no position to dictate what we're going to feel. we're going to feel very good. we're going to feel very good and very strong influence. you're right now not in a very good position. you've allowed yourself to be in a very bad position. and he happens to be right about. >> the very beginning of the war. >> not in a good position. you don't ha

ukraine's parliament today reaffirming president vladimir zelensky's legitimacy as president and confirmedld not be held until the war ended. the resolution rejects suggestions brought forth by president trump and vladimir putin that zelenskyy's presidency was illegitimate, because elections have not been held during the war against russia. a bipartisan group of senators introduced legislation today to boost funding for air traffic control, staffing and training. if passed, the legislation would authorize $100 million over five years to provide simulators at traffic control facilities, which they estimate could reduce certification time by 27%. the faa says it's currently about 3500 controllers short of target staffing levels. and get this more than 230,000 canadians have signed a parliamentary petition calling on the prime minister to revoke elon musk's canadian citizenship, claiming musk is part of a foreign government that is trying to erase canada's sovereignty. musk, who holds citizenship through his mother, responded on his x platform, quote, canada's not a real country. kelly. >> al

and then when you're looking at keir starmer, who's going to be here on thursday, followed by vladimir zelensky on friday, starmer is obviously going to try to keep donald trump in lockstep with nato as much as he possibly can as the french president did. and then zelensky is going to be coming here and talking about these, this, this deal. how is zelensky going to sign a document that doesn't make guarantees of security for ukraine? how how can he what would incentivize him to do that. >> katie i think. >> really it's a sense that the alternative is worse, that, you know, you you basically have to have some kind of american support here. you have to you can't have trump turn on you entirely or, or ukraine is basically cooked. and so i think the idea is, you know, you. can't really give him no for an answer. now, in the reporting i've seen and my understanding and what i've heard about this agreement, there are some things to be determined later. it's not completely every every clause and provision is not totally filled in. and so there might be a sense that you can punt some of this down the r

was for donald trump trying to strong arm the exact same guy that he's now calling a dictator, vladimir zelensky was his first bite at the apple. he refused to allow that to. he could have whipped that vote any way because, you know, he had total control over his caucus. so he failed twice to let the 14th amendment rid his party. and i think about claire. i'm not a you know, i'm not a fan of ronald reagan. but in that era, they didn't let the john birch society take the party. this man was willing to let maga and the tea party consume his party at all costs for his own ambition. i find that wicked to the point where i have no better word for it than wickedness. >> yeah. the western alliance of democracies has been wholly responsible for peace and prosperity for 80 years, for the united states of america and other people who love to control their own government. i'm talking about the people who get to vote. not people like kim jong un and xi and putin. and now mcconnell is saying, oh, i'm going to assert myself on foreign policy in the time i have left. i am freed from the shackles of having to l

he can't stand vladimir zelensky. we know that.he believes that he experienced. and i think he fully intends to follow through with this new, completely un-american, disastrous foreign policy that he has outlined in the last few days. >> yeah, and he has he has made it deeply personal, calling zelenskyy a modestly successful comedian, calling for new elections in ukraine, demanding half of their minerals, their deal. we did hear secretary of state rubio behind closed doors, trying to reassure europeans that maybe u.s. policy not changing as much as their positioning publicly. but that's basically joe that has has left, you know, allies and adversaries like sort of bewildered. but at the end of the day, this is donald trump's decision. and let's remember, it's very reminiscent of the first term where trump publicly very friendly towards putin. but the administration and the congress at times took steps to punish russia. we'll have to see if that happens around this time to, you know, certainly, senator tillis breaking with the white

most people understand that vladimir zelensky is a hero, a transformative leader who has been fighting for all of us and for all of us who care about freedom. and donald trump does not speak for most americans, and definitely not for most american veterans who understand the stakes. and you cannot rewrite history. we will defend our honor. we will defend our country's promises, and we will defend the truth. and that includes, if we have to defend it from the commander in chief and the president of our own country. >> well, who does. >> jd vance speak for? because bret stephens wrote an op ed in the new york times today obliterating jd vance, his speech at the. munich security conference. and he wrote this. an american vice president went to munich to. >> carry on. >> about. >> his idealism while breaking bread with those who would obliterate democratic ideals. a disgrace. what do you think about that? >> it's a disgrace. and brett brett's column is right. but i think. >> you. >> know, this is. >> where we really. >> need to keep the eye on what's important. >> not just what's. >> urgen

now he's putting new pressure on vladimir zelensky to sign away his country's critical resources to the us. what does it all mean for ending the war? we're standing by for white house press briefing with the national security adviser. plus, on the cusp of confirmation after clearing a procedural hurdle, trump loyalist kash patel is now on the verge of becoming the next fbi director. but for those planning to support his confirmation, democratic senator chris murphy has a warning this is one vote you'll regret to your grave. and ending the irs, a top trump official reveals the administration's long term plans to scrap the agency and replace it with something they like to call the external revenue service. those details ahead. but we start with the us and president trump leaning hard on ukraine to sign an economic partnership as payback for u.s. military aid or risk losing u.s. support. it is the latest chapter in a remarkable pivot that has seen the president shift sharply toward russia and away from ukraine. last night, he again smeared president zelensky by falsely claiming zelenskyy s
