so if we're on email or anything, then it's with betsy. >> mhm. i mean daniel i know you knew you knew gene so well as a dear friend, you wrote three adventure novels together which people may not be aware of. and you were first connected, if i understand, because he was interested in your work, which was an underwater archeologist. so he had learned to scuba dive for the scene that we're looking at here in the firm with tom cruise, and then you and he connected over this. what will you remember most about him, daniel? >> well. >> i just remember him very much as, uh. interesting. funny, very intelligent. uh, man, it always had another idea to do something that would be fun and be interesting. >> so, barbara, i know you had said that betsy had been very protective of gene since the covid pandemic, right? and she didn't want him to get sick. you know what more can you tell us about that and what their lives were like in these recent years? >> well, we used to see them a lot more. you know, gene was 95. so i mean, i think until a year ago he was sti

betsy klein in west palm beach, thank you so much for that. i want to continue our discussion now with new york representative nicole malliotakis. she's joining us. she's on the house ways and means committee and the house republican conference assistant whip. congresswoman, thank you so much for being here with us. i want to start there, where we just left off on this topic of ukraine and what comes next. i know your district has a very large ukrainian population. i want to get your thoughts first on that explosive meeting at the white house yesterday. >> well, obviously. >> it took a disappointing turn of events. and i as people, as you said, i have a large ukrainian population and those in my district, and i think all americans and people around the world want to see peace. we want to see a ceasefire. we want to see an end to this horrific, deadly war. um, look, the american people have spent about $175 billion to support ukraine, and we've done so very generously. but the prior administration seemed to do so blindly, without having a plan,

when you look at the scene where betsy arakawa, his wife was found.was close to a bathroom, a space heater going in there and at the same time, there were pills all over the place in that area. the dog, who was-- that was found dead was found somewhere in a kennel and i think they've already performed an autopsy on all of these individuals, to include the dog and i would not be surprised if the dog died of starvation and that what they're going to look at strongly is whether there was a suicide involved in all of this activity. i'm not saying that there was, but they are going to have to look at that. molly: one of the things that they've said was that carbon monoxide apparently did not play a role. does that finding leave them -- does that clear up a lot as far as that avenue is concerned? >> absolutely, it does. because if there was carbon monoxide, it could very well be that they died both at the same time or close to the same time, but the fact that they were not carbon monoxides find in their system, then it gives investigators the right to look

betsy klein nick paton walsh, thanks to both of you. all right. let's bring in now cnn's matthew chance in moscow. matthew, how is this incident being viewed in russia? >> yeah. >> well, i mean, look. >> despite what betsy was saying there, actually, i've spoken to some russian officials and they've said they were gobsmacked at the way in which these individuals, these national leaders spoke to each other. both the american and the ukrainian leaders, not just because it was played out in public, but also because even when there's an argument, you know, it's very rarely takes these kinds of, you know, kind of angry, angry tones that we saw in in that spectacle in the oval office. that's what they say privately. publicly, of course. uh, officials that have spoken out have done so in a very supportive way for the white house, basically saying that it was president zelenskyy of ukraine alone who was disrespectful and deserved what he got. i mean, one former russian president and prime minister, dmitry medvedev, who is admittedly given to very outrageo

so, betsy, let's go to you first. uh, what what is the position of president trump today, a day after? >> that's right. well, president trump currently on his golf course in south florida here. but so far, the white house continues to promote messages of support for president trump. we have received multiple emails now from the white house press office highlighting support from allies, including lawmakers, members of trump's cabinet and other top white house officials, highlighting his move there. but all of this after that, very dramatic and quite different from that hug and handshake we saw on ten downing street. the crossed arms, the raised voices, the pointed fingers in the oval office yesterday, trump himself views himself as somewhat of a dealmaker. he would like to broker peace between russia and ukraine, and we saw him on the campaign trail railing against u.s. support for ukraine and question the future of u.s. funding for this war effort. so all of a sudden, we see him with zelenskyy after having that, those

betsy, to you now. republicans, they've been pretty quick to fall in line behind trump and defend him. and all that transpired. what are they saying today? >> that's right. resounding support for president trump from his republican allies in congress and in his cabinet. but of course, all of this just such a dramatic breakdown from a key u.s. alliance with ukraine. now, trump, for his part, views foreign policy through more of an economic lens than some of his predecessors and has been trying to position himself as a dealmaker, trying to broker peace between ukraine and russia, something that he campaigned on, frankly and said during the campaign trail, really questioning the future of u.s. aid for the war torn country. but we saw him bring zelenskyy into the oval office. that very heated exchange that devolved after about 40 minutes of otherwise pleasantries. really, president trump and vice president jd vance, both berating zelenskyy for not expressing enough gratitude. also parroting some russian tal

. >> chief international correspondent nick paton walsh is in kyiv and senior white house producer betsy klein is with the president in florida. so, nick, to you first, what has been the reaction in ukraine? >> i mean, there is a lot of consternation to this. i think there's a mixture of support and shock that the president, in ukraine's view, was rounded on in that way and had to defend ukraine's position to a series of mistruths. and i think there's also real fear about what this means for the u.s. ukraine relationship going forward. we have heard zelenskyy very fully talking about gratitude. that was something that vance rounded on him, saying that he hadn't shown during that particular meeting. and also now this meeting with european leaders, preceded by a one on one with the uk prime minister, keir starmer, that i think is a bid to try and piece things back together and but also possibly address a future in which u.s. support isn't really part of this anymore. hard to almost say that it's so key to ukraine's survival, and also to the concept of the transatlantic security alliance. w
