tom, you have covered many visits of world leaders to the oval office. seen anything play out quite like today? >> absolutely nothing. it was unprecedented. i think it shows that what was already a very vulnerable and precarious position for volodymyr zelenskyy has deteriorated now into an unprecedented golf, a rift between his country and its superpower sponsor up until now, supporting it during this war into utterly unknown territory. i think at the moment, -- i think the moment that clearly rankled mr. trump the most, and when you saw these recriminations flood out of him and jd vance, was the moment at which they had made the argument that mr. zelenskyy was basically ungrateful for american military assistance. and he was in a weak position and did not have the cards, basically saying they have to play the game according to their rules. what he was suggesting was a kind of rushed cease-fire in which russia has been treated as some sort of equal partner in this, would lead to a sort of moral hazard because it empowers the aggressor in this, the countr

trump stayed in the oval with his top advisers. ukrainians went to a separate room, and trump decided that that, as a white house official said to me that zelenskyy was not in a position to to continue negotiating them then, and they asked them to leave. i mean, they had lunch prepared. it was getting cold in the hallways. the ukrainian delegation then left the white house. there were no further discussions. the mineral deal was not signed. and there are real questions tonight about what happens next. >> they kicked. they kicked. the leader of a u.s. ally currently at war out of the white house. i mean, it's a truly remarkable moment. nick, earlier, i spoke with oleksandr murashko. he is head of the foreign affairs committee in ukrainian parliament. i asked him if the ukrainian parliament still has the ukrainian president's back. have a listen to his thoughts. i want to get your thoughts on the other side. does the ukrainian parliament have the president's back tonight? are they backing him, supporting him in his stand? >> absolute

the oval office octagon tonight. the world is reeling, wondering if it just watched a public shouting match. that is the prelude to a public divorce. and proof that alliances that hold the west together are broken, perhaps beyond repair. volodymyr zelenskyy arrived in washington ready to put his pen to a minerals deal, what many view as a precursor to the peace talks that include a ukrainian seat at the table with the united states and with russia. but what normally would have been a run of the mill oval office photo op, it devolved into something totally different, something without any obvious parallels. interruptions, raised voices, hurt feelings, demands, threats. world leaders sitting a few feet away but a world apart. >> 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 of

saw today in the oval office. and i wouldn't classify this as you did as contentious or as controversial. that's not what happened today. this was a stunning abdication of american leadership. it was a minimizing of our. country in a pullback of america as a world leader in. >> a stunning way. >> you know, an aggressive attack on one of our closest allies and partners and turning the oval. office into a. >> propaganda machine. >> for vladimir putin, one of the world's worst dictators and an adversary of the united. states who consistently tries to undermine our democracy and attack americans. truly appalling., as he uses the same words as putin to describe this war, the same justifications as putin to describe this war. >> can trump still be a fair, reliable, trustworthy? peacemaker for ukraine in this war, or are you seeing his? interests more aligned with putin's as relate to ukraine? >> well, donald. >> trump is certainly not reliable and trustworthy in any sense. he wasn't reliable and trustworthy. >> as. >> a

we did not see that today at the oval office.hink 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. >> y

joe biden is no longer in that oval office.onger going to write blank checks to a war very far away without real lasting peace. and that's what the president wants. >> laura: karoline who made the decision to cancel the lunch? how did that go down? did you have any of it? >> well, the president enjoyed the lunch. he figuratively and literally ate president zelenskyy's lunch today. but it was his decision. he felt as though president zelenskyy was not in a place to negotiate peace at this point in time. >> laura: karoline as always, great to see you. >> laura: what did happen in that immediate aftermath of the over office blowup that was before president trump threw zelenskyy out of the room. joining me now one of the men trump consulted treasury secretary scott bessent. always great to have you on. i know you were in the room with vice president vance and secretary rubio after everything went down. who suggested that zelenskyy needed to hit the road? >> look, laura, it was a group decision that president zelenskyy needed to be

but treating a guest in the oval office that way, and i've been in the oval office many times and it's a very solemn place. and to hear donald trump and jd vance again distort history, distort the facts and reality, and to berate president zelensky the way they did, i think, again, it's appalling. >> i mean, there are so many things that struck me, ben. just the optics of this red faced old man whose brains are absolutely cooked, berating and basically saying, beg like a dog, beg, beg, be grateful, get on your knees. but but that's just sort of the optics to john's point. i mean, what do you think about the, the substance, the meaning, the force of what that spectacle meant today? i think the us is no longer a part of the free world, chris. and what we saw is not like a shift in us policy. what we saw was not a disagreement in the oval office. what we saw was not political theatrics. what we saw is that the united states has switched sides in this war. the united states is on the side of russia. the united states will brook no criticism of vladimir putin in the oval office of the unite

he disses back united states of america in its cherished oval office.ack when he is ready for peace." let's go back to the start of that meeting, which began in friendlier circumstances with both leaders saying they were ready for an agreement that could help to bring an end to the war in ukraine. let's have a listen back. >> your soldiers have been unbelievably brave. we have given them great equipment and somebody has to use the equipment. they have been unbelievably brave. we give them credit. this was supposed to be over quickly. here we are three years later. i give tremendous credit to your generals and your soldiers and yourself in the sense that, it's been very hard fighting. very tough fighting. great fighters. you have to be very proud of them from that standpoint. pres. zelenskyy: i am very proud. pres. trump: but now we want to get it over with. it's enough. it's an honor to have you here. thank you for coming. pres. zelenskyy: thank you for the invitation. and i really hope that this document will be the first step to real security guarante

your immediate thoughts about the ramifications of this oval office meeting today? was just completely bizarre for the american president and vice president to dress down the leader of a democratic ukraine that is fighting for its life against russia. i've never seen anything like it. i think vance and president trump lost their cool. they expected zelenskyy to show more gratitude, to say yes, let's go make a peace deal with putin, to say yes to the minerals deal that's on the table. they didn't expect the case that zelenskyy laid out. what happens now, i don't think it's over. i don't think trump is going to turn off the flow of economic and military assistance, because it would effectively pull the rug out from underneath zelenskyy, but let's see what happens in the coming days. >> john: did this, in your view, essentially come down to a disagreement over how people read vladimir putin? and zelenskyy obviously being much more suspicious, president trump saying he's never broken a promise to me. >> i don't think that's what was going on here. i think that zelenskyy

that's what he was in the oval office to sign today. but again, when you have comments that deliberately appear to be deliberately i mean, after having discussed this repeatedly, deliberately appear to be geared towards making the argument that peace is not possible, you know? again, i turn to the he turned to the vice president. what kind of diplomacy are you talking about? almost as if to say, these people, you can't deal with them. we can't. you can't have any negotiations with putin because he can't be trusted. and you're just wasting your time on negotiations. well, he's directly basically undermining everything the president has told him he's trying to do. look, there's no need for that. you start to suspect. does he really want an end to this war, or does he just think that, you know, we have to do whatever he says and give him anything he wants without any endgame? that was the biden strategy. that was the biden strategy. we were funding a stalemate. we were funding a meat grinder. and unfortunately for the ukrainians, the russi

you have covered a lot of moments in the oval office. have you ever seen this play out in front of the cameras before in this way, or even heard about it happening in this way, behind cameras, in closed doors? >> laura i've covered five presidencies over 30 years in washington. never seen anything like this in public. has it happened in private? sure. you know, fdr and de gaulle, truman and de gaulle. uh, president kennedy with his south vietnamese. uh, cohorts. we've seen tensions during the iraq war, but they always were kept away from the cameras. word of it sometimes pitched out. what happened here was not only different symbolically, it was different substantively. because as we went into this, the question was, is president trump basically continuing to side with ukraine but trying to negotiate a deal that would protect ukraine's interests? or has he flipped entirely over to russia's side here? and from listening to this while he said he was just on america's side, it's pretty clear he's willing to sign any kind of ceasefire, even

what i saw in the oval office was disrespectful. and i don't know if we can ever do business with zelinski again. door say now though, i'll ask the question now, is you creating a boss this last now, or is it just taking a huge gamble that the he things might ultimately pay off? what are you seeing, lizzie graham is one of the least effective members of the united states senate, and he's probably the one senator who is on television the most in america, in the congress of the united states. we have work horses and we have show horses and lindsay graham is a show horse. so when you've lost lindsey grant, you've lost to the war. it's over. lizzie graham, now bowing down before donald trump, is a message to the trigger zalinski that it's time to just stop. let me pull it out from the fireworks inside the oval office, washington has repeatedly put the brakes on rebuilding ukraine's damaged energy infrastructure. i mean, time saw, so the usa id, deep state agency in ukraine, reportedly being slashed as well. the headcount shop from 64 do

when i saw in the oval office was disrespectful. and i don't know if we can ever do business with zelinski again. well, boy say now though, i'll ask the question now is ukraine the boss? this last now or is the landscape taking a huge gamble that the he things might ultimately pay off? what are you seeing? i think right now in these, in these hours after this uh, this overall office meeting, zalinski the words to roll the dice and take that gamble. i think that the cooler heads will prevail in the coming days. let me say something about lindsey grip. lizzie graham is one of the least effective members of the united states senate, and he's probably the one senator who is on television for most in america in the congress of the united states. we have work horses and we have show horses and lindsay graham is a show horse. so when you've lost losing grant, you've lost to the war. it's over. lizzie graham, now bowing down before donald trump, is a message to the triggers the landscape that it's time to just stop. all right, the, i'm a, i

what i saw in the oval office was disrespectful. and i don't know if we can ever do business with zelensky again. he either needs to resign and send somebody over that we can do business with, or he needs to change. >> leading off our discussion tonight is senator amy klobuchar of minnesota, who met with volodymyr zelensky earlier today. she is a member of the senate judiciary committee. senator klobuchar, always great to see you. you met with president zelensky before he went to the white house today. what can you tell us about that discussion and what you. what did you think as you watched what happened next? well. >> i was. >> horrified because in the morning we had a bipartisan meeting with president zelensky, with senator graham, senator wicker, senator grassley. and by the way, through the week, we had meetings with president macron with a small group of senators led by senator thune. and what i kept thinking is to a. t. the republican senators that have met with these foreign leaders have been very clear that they are support

people do just wander into the oval office. a very radical thing is happening in our country. it is not only radical in the sense that it is a large directional change, right? switching sides in a war now standing against our allies of the last 80 years, now siding with russia instead, i mean, no longer siding with the free world, now siding with the authoritarian governments of the world. like it's not just radical and that it is a 180 degree directional change. it is also radical in the sense that it is really radically unpopular with the american people. i mean, you can see that in the polling quinnipiac poll this month. should the us trust vladimir putin? yes. 9%. no, 81%. here's another one. the economist yougov poll out this month. do you have a favorable or unfavorable view of vladimir putin? the american public say favorable 11%, unfavorable 78%. the american people are not clamoring for us to ally ourselves with vladimir putin. right? you can you can see it very clearly in the polling. and it begs the question, well, okay, who wants this? who voted for this? why are w

i mean, what was clearly a shouting match in the oval office. i mean, some people quoting it to some kind of w w. e smacked down event here often that will win so terribly wrong for that. and so he went out for an interview with fox news. take us through the commentary that start well, that was basically a continuation of the let's use a m t and the populace tie ratings if you will, where she acted as if everything was okay in his public humiliation. and the oval office all did not happen at all in an interview to the american media. you seem to be throwing around phrases completely unrelated to the questions. and uh, well, frankly, his responses were sometimes bordering on jibberish back at the white house. he was confronted by the americans who pointed out to the skis, costs and demands, and complete lack of gratitude to assure reply that there is a historic relationship between the ukrainian and the american people. so also, according susan, excuse, presidency, had long expired esque you observed bower and ukraine in the may of last year. it'

tensions flared in the oval. president trump and vice president j.d.e clashed with ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy with vance accusing zelenskyy of being ungrateful for american support in the war and taking people on propaganda tours around ukraine. >> mr. president, mr. president, with respect, i think it's disrespectful for you to come to the oval office to 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 into this conflict -- >> have you ever been on ukraine that you say what problems we have? >> i have been to -- >> you've come once. >> i've actually watched and seen the stories and i know what happens is you bring people on a propaganda tour, mr. president. do you disagree that you've had problems bringing people into your military? >> wow, so zelenskyy was at the white house to sign an agreement giving the u.s. access to ukraine's rare earth minerals. that ultimatel

everybody is talking about the fashion in the oval office. talk about it. >> i dressed up. here's a proactive for world leaders. if you close a billion-dollar deal don't dress like you will blow the money on daisuke matsuzaka around the clock. rachel: elon musk doesn't wear a suit but he is volunteering. >> i will defend zelenskyy on one thing. i believe he had a suit but a member of the biden administration stole his luggage at the airport. rachel: oh yes. >> sticky sam took it. rachel: trump was gracious about it, here' s what trump said about it. >> he is all dressed up today. i don't know if you two like each other but i -- i think he is. rachel: gracious after the reporter asked about that. this is to see blake lively, the fight with justin narrowed her request to exclude the content of calls or messages, the phone records would contain sensitive information regarding other acquaintances. this is like jealous ryan reynolds, right? jimmy:they need to learn to quit when they are behind. blake lively, everyone has a friend who complains abo

and then two hours later lenski walked into the oval office. completely blows up.lly interesting. i think that joe biden probably was being very honest with donald trump about who screwed him. and how he felt about that. the democrat party is cooked right now. thoroughly cooked. that hatred that biden now has is for team obama and i think it is playing out behind the scenes right now among the people the various loyalists. it is palpable i don't know how they recover from this. joe biden his 50 year career is basically managing now to even destroy obama's legacy and then when you looked at everything that we're arguing about today is zelenskyy and you look at ukraine and you look at the middle east, joe biden was the greatest foreign policy thinker in washington for 50 years. and this is what he left for donald trump to clean up. donald trump explained the next four years cleaning up. hopefully he will clean up a lot of it but man what a catastrophe. you believe joe biden lied to the entire party and said he would be on only one termer and the minute he was inocula
