it require as robust, coordinated response by the united states and our allies. investments by chinese state owned companies and terminal leases at u.s. ports must continue to be reviewed carefully by the committee on foreign investments in the united states as they have been to date and p.r.c. investments in ports abroad must be countered by u.s. foreign aid. however, scrutinizing p.r.c. investments in our ports only go so far if we are at the same time opening the front gates of our government to chinese influence. the p.r.c. poses a threat to u.s. national security through investments not just in ports but all manner of foreign assets, including their top puppet elon musk. since being installed as the de facto president of the united states, he's acted at every turn of the interest of china and himself at the expense of the american people. musk has deep ties to china. we don't know the full extent of those ties because he refuses to file a public financial disclosure but know music has received hundreds of millions in loans from p.r.c. controlled banks to buil

did it to such a degree as the united states. and that's what's, that's what, that's american exceptionalism. that brings me to the monroe doctrine. would you talk about in your forthcoming book america, america? this was a doctrine created under us president, james monroe in 1823 as a response to latin american independence movements. uh, talked about this doctrine. how does it continue to influence us policy in the americas 2 centuries later? yeah, the actual monro docs and it was just a couple of paragraphs. and in james monroe and state of the union address and you know, when it would, they weren't even continuous paragraphs. they basically said the united states was going to recognize the independence of, of latin america, a south american nation, spanish american nations. and that it wouldn't, it wouldn't allow that re conquests by european powers. the latin americans liked that part they, they, they read it, they thought they were hearing a kind of anti colonial sentiment. they would not be a recall on his ation of, of the

the united states should not have allowed this to happen. the united states, run by a man that didn't know much -- i'm going to be very nice. run by an incompetent person, very incompetent person, should never have allowed this to happen. i have stopped many wars. i have stop the words nobody ever heard about. i stopped wars before they ever started. i could give you nations i will tell you right now that were probably going to work. i could tell you there's a nation thinking about going to war on something nobody in this room has ever even heard about. two smaller nations, but big -- still big.and i think i have stopped it. this should have never happened. pres. zelenskyy: just a second. about the negotiations. i want to tell you and i think everybody understands that ukraine, more than ukrainians, nobody wants to stop this war. it's understandable that two sides of the war, not russia and the united states, because this is not a war between russia and the united states but a war against ukraine and the ukrainian people, so these two sides

' words mattered more than the united states' actions. what makes america a good country is to engage in diplomacy. >> can i speak? >> yeah, sure. >> he occupied our parts -- big parts of ukraine, parts of east and crimea. so he occupied it on 2015. so during a lot of years -- i'm not speak about just biden, but those time was obama, president obama then president trump and then president biden and now president trump would stop him. but during 2015, nobody stopped him. he killed people, you know? pres. trump: 2015. >> 2014. pres. trump: was not here. -- i was not here. >> until 2022, the situation the same. people have been dying on the contact line. nobody stopped him. you know, that we had conversations with him, a lot of conversations, bilateral conversations. and he signed with me like with the new president in 2019, i signed with him the deal. i signed with him, macron and merkel, we signed cease-fire. cease-fire. all of them told me that he will never go. we signed him with guest contracts -- guest contracts, yes, but after that, h

what i see is that the use of sanctions as a, as a weapon has failed for the united states. i see the that the state department's policy of working as hard as possible to not speak to our adversaries has failed. i see that donald trump recognizes that we are in a multi polar world, not a unipolar world. and that whether the united states likes the russian government or likes the chinese government or not, it has to engage with the russian government and the chinese government at any government. so i think that this is a rail politic, as henry kissinger used to say, we have to recognize the reality of the day and deal with it. we can't just pretend that we're the world's only superpower and take it from there. it doesn't work. and instead it's, it's going to bankrupt our country, we have to change this policy. and i think donald trump understands that, and that's what he's doing absolutely. spot on the thank you. so my done career out . cool. don't lease the form i see on the list. really nice to have you on. thank you very much. thank you so much for the vacation right now, f

united states. uh, did not. uh, the uh, the on the europeans did not give an order to its vassals, to use your language, to make sure that they aligned themselves with the matter with the new american position. the united states has just changed if a position and is arguing uh with, with where do your p is about the wisdom of that position. so it's not, as it's not as simple as the does, it does it sometimes as, as, as it's something i knew sometimes it looks also let me, let me underline one important issue. many of the country is uh of the, with the bricks group, including china and india did not vote with russia on that very important issue. the chinese of the, in just abstain. they have their own reasons why they upstate, you know that, but they've always been abstaining on the, on the, on that issue of probably because of the issue of j tauriel integrity, a national sovereignty involved ability board as is a, is an issue that resumes very much in their own countries and their own societies. but the truth is

why is the united states -- we have an ocean in between -- why is the united states in for so much more money and other things as europe? with that being said -- and as you said they've been very helpful. but we have put in far more than they have. and i think they should equalize. >> mr. president -- president trump: what changed between the first time that the secretary gave zelensky the agreement and today? president trump: we made a deal. i'm just -- i'm a business person. we made a deal, that's what changed. i didn't think we were going to make a deal. and we ended up making the deal. so that changed. >> how do you envision a trilateral -- >> well, they don't like each other, i can tell you that. they do not like each other. this is not a love match. it's unfortunate. the united states should not have allowed this to happen, ok? the united states run by a man that didn't know much. i'm going to be very nice. run by an incompetent person, very incompetent person should never have allowed this to happen. i've stopped wars. i've stopped many wars. people will tell you, i've stopped wa

. >> yeah i mean look ukraine does need the united states. even if you've got european troops in ukraine they will need the united states, or air defense, rockets, artillery. this was a great opportunity to get things started. i think president trump saw this as a step-by-step process, where we would start with this rare earth mineral deal. tried to pursue a cease-fire and go from there. again, that mineral deal would give us a lot of economic commercial skin in the game and keep the united states involved. that's what ukraine needs. i would caution 1 thing. wars end when both sides are too exhausted to fight our when 1 side wins. we aren't at either 1 of those stages. it's almost as if we are trying artificially to impose a settlement in i'm not saying that's the wrong thing to do it's just extreme late difficult. >> trace: meantime the ball appears to be in zelenskyy's court. he was on special report tonight. did not want to apologize. does he fight to get back to the negotiating table? >> he has to and you are right he did not do himself a

that was the official position of the united states. i vividly recall being briefed by leaders in the biden administration telling us that this war was going to be over in 5 to 6 days. they believe that that was their assessment at the time, and it wasn't the case because of the weapons that ukraine had in its stocks, because of president trump and his first term. so he should have been grateful for that and grateful for what we're doing now. and one more point. it's not just president trump. there's there's news reports out there from nbc news. at least one of the places i recall reporting that biden had a shouting match with zelenskyy for not being grateful and not being thankful for everything that was provided back in 2022. now, that didn't happen in front of the press. that was leaked, but it got out there. it's these frustrations are not unique to president trump. there was those frustrations in the previous administration. if nbc news is to be believed. >> but but but obviously we've never seen anything like what we saw today. bu

>> for some of these leaders, and why do. >> you see. >> them stating the opposite of what the united statesrmation. depends upon having the people in place. >> this is not something. >> happening in washington. it's your neighbors. >> retired scientists for the national oceanic and atmospheric administration is sounding the alarm as new layoffs under the trump administration have hit. the agency charged with forecasting whether americans rely on noaa, which includes the national weather service, every day for forecasts and storm warnings. it also monitors dangerous weather like fires and hurricanes, with tornado and hurricane season coming up, the firings may jeopardize the ability for the government to forecast and respond to extreme weather events like hurricanes, wildfires and floods. meanwhile, on the back end of trump's proposed cuts to fema and hud may further harm communities trying to recover from these disasters. joining me now is meteorologist and climate scientist chris langer. welcome, chris. i'm so glad to have you here. look, the mission between noaa and fema are intricate and

the united states will brook no criticism of vladimir putin in the oval office of the united states. the american president is only interested in dictating to ukraine the terms of its surrender to russia. and oh, by the way, give us half of your mineral rights on the way out. and what this means for europe and ukraine is that they are now on the other side of the negotiating table from the united states and russia. they are going to have to figure out what ukraine is going to try to live with. they're going to have to figure out what european troops might be a part of a security guarantee for ukraine. but more broadly, chris, as you were alluding to very accurately in your lead in the united states is now a part of the club. russia, china, the gulf arab autocrats. donald trump wants to live in a world of pure transactionalism in which might makes right and big and powerful and rich countries make deals over the heads of democracies, over the heads of vulnerable people. it's the mirror image of what he does at home. he's a bully. he doesn't pick on people his own size. he picks on peo

you are the oh, it is got trapped by following the united states getting a blind to kind of way. just trying to would be the great cheer leader of us a gemini. i obviously, the whole us approach, the unit polar approach was delusional. it's ended. now you're a pass to get attacked together. is it possible it is not a way possible. i it, it. i even think it's going to happen because what else is you're going to do just be $27.00 bickering divided. the countries in a world today were actual scale and cooperation means a tremendous amount for one's economy for one's politics. and one for one is geo politics. and security, i think they'll get their act together meantime, and by the way, i appreciate your optimism i do admire at jeffrey, but you know, we've got this new administration back in the white house now and you know, let's not forget that the us find on the might on cool of 2014 and so as you say, you know, your typical european laptops became the cheerleaders for what was the us administration, but now the mazda has changed, and someone saying that laptops don't know who to,

he disrespecte the united states in our cherished oval office.e can come back when he is ready for peace. you can watch the meeting online at c-span.org or with the c-span now app. pres. trump: thank you very much. we have known each other for a long time. dealing with each other for a long time. we had a little spat. i think that worked out great. for both countries and for the world, actually. we have had a very fair deal. we look forward to digging. and getting some of the rare earth. it is a big commitment. we appreciate working with you very much. we will continue to do that. we have had some very good discussions with russia. i spoke with president putin and we will try to bring this to a close. it is something that you want and he wants. we will negotiate a deal. we have started a deal. i think something can happen. the big thing is the number of soldiers at this point being killed. we are losing thousands of soldiers on both sides. we want to see it stop. we want to see the money get put two different kinds of use like rebuilding. we will

he disrespected the united states of america and its cherished oval office.ack when ready for peace. president zelenskyy expressed gratitude to the american people after his class with president trump, writing on x, thank you america, thank you for your support, thank you for this visit. thank you potus, congress, and the american people. ukraine needs just and lasting peace, and we are working exactly for that. with me to discuss this is our state department correspondent, tom bateman. tom, you have covered many visits of world leaders to the oval office. have you ever 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 floo

lindsey graham has been what is the united states for ukraine? well, united states the president's taken no position on that. what he said today is let him come back when he's ready to do peace. that's what he said. let him come back when he's ready to do peace. so i can't speak for what anybody else said. i can only go off the words from the president of the united states, and that is today. we're not this is not going to be productive any further. when zelenskyy is ready to make peace and he is serious about peace. let him come back then. and that's when we'll reengage with them. and what he means by that is when will you. >> stand that? >> well, i think it's everything i've said already, and that is, how are you going to get vladimir putin and the russian federation to a table to discuss even the opportunity, whether even to explore whether there is an opportunity for peace? you're not going to do it by calling them names. it makes everybody feel very good. you can pass resolutions. you can put out very strongly worded statements. senators can

dhamma, his championing of a sex criminal, andrew take the title brothers who now come to the united states. they were being prosecuted in romania for sex trafficking, and sex abuse and ad pimping, and prostitution. and i'm running prostitute rackets. and they have welcome the tape brothers to be rights and states that is a middle finger to any sense of sort of rules, decency, decorum and it's quite intentional. and the reaction of those to support roles, the core of decency, etc, is the point. this is the politics and it's also the foreign policy. so this understanding of this, so this is the, let me just ask you finally, if you have a book coming out about, speak me a present. the president jimmy carter is national security advisor. many of our viewers may not have ever heard of brzezinski, but i will tell them that he paid played a key role in really helping to end the cold war to bring down the soviet union. and he injected values into american foreign policy, i think, and very important ways. i one, we both newest bank brzezinski. i would love to hear what your thoughts of and how he w

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

don't go in and media tour around europe. bad, mousing the for as united states. it's insulting, it's insulting to him. it's insulting to me, it's insulting to the american people and by the way, it's stupid. i think president trump is very upset, present zelinski, and i and some case, and rightfully so. look. number one, joe biden had frustrations was the landscape. people shouldn't forget it or a newspaper articles out there about how he cursed adam and a phone call. because zalinski, instead of saying thank you for all your help, is immediately out there messaging what we're not doing or what he's not getting the american taxpayers have unloaded hundreds of billions of dollars into the framing and conflicts. and much of what trump seem to be saying to the ukrainian leader was we want our money back and the mineral deal that was supposed to be signed today was arranged so that roughly $500000000000.00 could be returned to the united states as a result, of the mineral resources and the revenue coming in from them. but that deal was not signed. i hear that i hear

the constitution of the united states. in the constitution of the state of missouri -- missouri. and that i will faithfully demean myself as governor of the state of missouri, so help me god. >> congratulations. [applause] [gun blasts] [applause] >> hey years ago i had the honor to be the first person to introduce the new president of the united states, donald trump. today i have for me and equally great honor to be able to introduce to missourians and people who understand and love our state, the 58th governor of the state of missouri, mike kehoe. gov. kehoe thank you, and please be seated. i've already been told i'm on the clock. president pro tem, speaker patterson, members of the general assembly, state and federal elected officials, former governors, judges, friends, family and fellow missourians. we stand this morning honoring a group of brave men and women who represent the best of those who serve and protect our communities. would you please welcome the salute to hero honorees that we honor this morning in the stat

>> alumni of. >> the. >> united states army. that's what i'm an alumni of. and millions of veterans around this country saw that today on our outrage of all backgrounds, because of the there. >> are millions. >> who saw. >> it. >> because there. >> are. >> people like you. who are from our president. >> standing with putin instead of with america, standing. >> with putin with that. >> zelenskyy shouldn't have opened. >> his mouth to. why did zelenskyy, our ally in a trench fight. so i don't want to go into a fight with any of you by my side. but why did he jump into a conversation just like no one asked any gentlemen? no one asked about lewinsky today, jen psaki interjected himself into it. and you. >> are selling out. >> jen psaki. >> please stop talking, okay? everybody is talking at the same time. >> i'm fine with. >> my statements, guys. >> everybody is talking at the same time. that does not work, okay? we cannot hear a word you are saying. i understand there are, you know, a lot of very high emotions about this topic, but

so it's still believes that the united states will not turn away from ukraine. the dollar will continue, but many say that kids will be disappointed with the results of this visit. nearly a thank you for that. usually a shop, a lot of i live in moscow. let's try to use problem minnesota. anthony albany z says his country stands with ukraine, whose people have suffered greatly defending the nation. the people of you crying ass fucking not just for they were on national, suffered to die, fighting for the international rule of law astray. it has committed some $1500000000.00 to help ukraine defend itself. more than $1300000000.00 of that is military support. we will continue to stand with you crime for as long as it takes. well, your claims president will be heading to london next, prime minister k, as donald will be hosting him n e u. lead us on monday to discuss what comes next for ukraine. european leaders have been clicked to defend the landscape after the white house debacle. french president emanuel mack calling says global support. the key must continue i th

suggesting that he should have walked into the oval office and and boxed in the president of the united states on camera. i mean, look, he's not in a position to do that. >> he said. >> as much and. >> said as much. >> and and i heard marco rubio, our secretary of state, say on our air tonight, i believe that the economic deal is in and of itself, a security deal. zelenskyy should have known that this is a huge, unfortunate misstep. i don't know what's going to happen next, but i know we're in a worse place. >> i think they can fix it. i think they can fix it. >> well, glass half full on a friday evening, i think that i think his point was he just didn't have to get on his knees to do it. scott jennings, josh rogan, thank you both so much. europe waking up to some dramatic headlines this their morning. the sun's front page ukraine hero ambushed with the headline the white house, the daily mirror piece hopes in tatters. shock and war and the times meltdown in oval office. so what are america's allies and vladimir putin thinking right now, i wonder? former republican congressman adam kinzinger,

the united states state department had a press release. that is no longer there, but we did archived this. it said that there were peaceful, biological laboratories in ukraine. to me, it's kind of strange that they put the words peaceful as if they were trying to deny something. normally you do not expect normal biological laboratories to be not peaceful. the general is joan dubin visited one center of the board tree. it was very safe to wait storage and basically they were both of trials on on suspension, launched an investigation to shortly alter the us government once again, denied it. so the board res existed in ukraine. on march the 10th 2022 pentagon press secretary, john covey made a special statement on the mass. so we are not developing bio, logical, or chemical weapons inside you. crank is not avenue. now people were starting to realize how disingenuous and untruthful the united states has been with a lot of these vile, the biological labs that have been in ukraine. they've been getting a lot of coverage there is. now i do have o

uh, the truck administration has broken the elias between united states ukraine and now they own the consequences of that you'll can ukraine survive and it's current state without you are dramatic us military assistance. probably. okay, in the short term. certainly not sustainable in the long term. so i think you're once the, um, the anger on all sides passes. the question will be, you know, can cooler heads, try to sticks this back together again over time, but it's going to take time, you know, to accomplish. then you say the trump administration has broken the lines, the trump administration is clearly trying to create something very different than, than what the americans and europeans are used to. is that the might going to lead or couldn't lead to, to the us and trump losing the mantle of leader of the free world? that certainly is one of the dangers. i know there's not necessarily a 6 clear successor to the united states as leaders of the, for our leave or the free world. but certainly in a vacuum. this is something that china can take advantage of. you know, that russia will c

if the united states pulls out and it, it looks very much that the united states is in the process. now pulling out the conflict is over. it's done. and this is something that zalinski either does not understand yet or is not willing to accept us. but this is today's reality, and it was laid out in the oval office this afternoon for all to see. all right, you have a lindsey graham, who has been shared support or of, of ukraine throughout the war has come out on the side of trump. best buy the rock . let's pick a list. a president trump was in a very good mood. last night. somebody asked me, am i embarrassed about trump? i have never been more proud of the present. i was very proud of j. d, but standing up for our country, we want to be helpful. what i saw in the oval office was disrespectful, and i don't know if we can ever do business with is the let's be again door. say now though i'll ask the question. now if you create a boss to sloss now, or is the landscape taking a few and gamble that the he things might ultimately pay off? what are you seeing, lizzie graham is $1.00 of the l

thator could do more harm than good because it's happening outside the united states it doesn't need erman, all will venture back to you. ohio state we were about harvard guys. [laughter] can i speak customer good thank you preceptor the chairman we are over time it's up to you. >> you certainly may. >> thank youou very much. senator, the devil is always in the details. when i think of a light touch of think that's what weak countries are trying to do to pull business withha the strong countries that is what i saw happenul. we create basically a very good framework, smaller jurisdictions try to undercut us by having weaker rules. we basically had to work very hard to harmonize rules, which we did another swap market works pretty well. in the case of stable coins europe and japan are ahead of us they've implemented some very good frameworks. most of the things i'm suggesting today are in those frameworks. there may be a few things we can do a lot better currently before us with the genius act and stable act. >> thank you. thank you madame chairwoman for thank you for being here. anythi

europeans, we don't need to lose them, they are good allies for the united states. the united states is the biggest donator of support and two-piece but we don't need to lose europe. they want to note steps. we have to be open to understand how did -- >> more reactions are coming into the contentious oval office meeting between president zelenskyy and president trump. tammy duckworth posted this attacking our democratic partner in service of an autocratic dictator. trump is a national disgrace. ben lujan reacted in this way -- shameful, embarrassing and dangerous. and from the house, connecticut democrat, jahana hayes released a statement saying today's oval office meeting was deeply troubling. the u.s. must defend democracy over authoritarianism and it is indefensible to side with putin over our steadfast allies in ukraine. president trump is scheduled to adjust a joint session of congress on tuesday to lay out his priorities and vision for the country in his second term. we will have live coverage beginning at 8 p.m. on c-span followed by a democratic response. we

the vice president of the united states lit into him. j.d.t deliberately. >> this was really -- i have never been embarrassed to be an american and today was embarrassing. it was awful. layer. >> laura: he is embarrassed. adam kinzinger is embarrassed. do they realize they're hurting their cause being on television. any positive outcome for ukraine? >> yeah, the america last crowd has always got something to say. i think today was telling. i think people should pay attention to the people defending zelenskyy, versus the people defending america. so it's kind of a defining day. i think a fault line that had existed for a while is now out in the open. and it's very, as you said, it's very educational and instructive. the truth of the matter is we are americans. that's our president. and no foreign leader comes into the oval office and disrespects us that way. >> laura: never. >> especially when we are trying to help. >> could you ever imagine joe biden in any sense of the word he would just basically sit there and nod and hold those cards in hi

than the president of the united states actions.kes america the good country is america engaging in diplomacy. that is what president trump is doing. >> what kind of diplomacy are you speaking about? what do you mean? >> i'm talking about the kind of diplomacy that will and the destruction of your company. mr. president, with respect, i think it is disrespectful for you to come to the oval office and try to litigate this in front of the american media. right now you were going around and forcing conscripts to the front lines because you have manpower problems. you should be thanking the president for coming into this conflict. and you think it's respectful to come to the oval office of the united states of america and attacked the administration that is trying to prevent the destruction of your country? >> a lot of questions, let's start from the beginning. first of all, during the war, everybody has problems. even you. but you have a nice ocean and don't feel it. but you will feel it in the future. >> you don't know that. >> god bl

words mattered more than the president of united states actions.t makes america a good country is america engaging in diplomacy that is what president trump is doing. >> he killed our people and he did not exchange of prisoners. we signed the exchange of prisons but he did not do it. what kind of diplomacy, j.d., you were speaking about? what do you mean? >> i'm talking about the kind of diplomacy that will and the destruction of your country. mr. president, with respect, i think it is disrespectful for you to come into the oval office and tried 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. >> jesse: what is zelenskyy doing giving us a history lesson like we don't know that putin is a snake? he has violated goes before under democrat presidencies. with the -- what good does it do zelenskyy to call us naive? if anybody is naive it is zelenskyy he did not think that russia was going to invade even

yes, a disaster for the united states and for u.s. intelligence in particular. but very good news for someone. hey, speaking of things that ought to be classified headline how trump's security clearances order could make the us vulnerable. the plan to give temporary security clearances without background checks opens the door to breaches and espionage, experts say. giving out security clearances without background checks that look for things like, you know, criminal entanglements, lots of debt, anything that they could blackmail you over or any contacts with foreign governments to make sure that you're not, you know, secretly working for we're not doing the background checks anymore. trump just has ordered that the classified material be made available to whoever he says with no checks. that doesn't seem like good news for the united states. but again, it's good news for someone. how about when they decided that the first agency they would destroy would be usaid, who cheered the loudest for that? russia welcomes usaid cuts calls agency mission for interfering. y

under donald trump, the united states will abandon an allied democracy.ort the autocrat. we will support vladimir putin instead. do you see it that way? and can you help us understand the broader implications of what we saw today? >> tragically, i see it that way. and you just presented a lot of evidence to support that hypothesis before the commercial break. and i just this is such a sad day for me personally, as somebody who cares about democracy and finds autocracies and i know american history, we haven't been perfect. we haven't always been on the side of the democrats, but we have a long standing tradition of standing up to autocrats. think about it. all of our enemies, throughout all of our history have been dictatorships. our most enduring allies. our strongest allies have always been democracies. and today our president wants to switch sides in the struggle between autocrats and democrats. he doesn't want to be the leader of the free world. he wants to join the autocratic club. and i just think it's sad on a kind of ethical and moral level. but i

so it's a different problem said, united states can bring to bear on. do you bring in to be more crawford before just to punish them? as the term tends to be hard. crowley is a former us assistant secretary of state for public says on the president barack obama. he says the blow up in the oval office is a bad luck for the us and ukraine. this was supposed to be a very straightforward, you know, diplomatic initiative. you know, to sure up us ukrainian relations prior to the beginning of the goal. she ations and obviously what we're seeing now is the relationship in adult spiral. adults on clear if for the leaders can that can pull it out before it actually crashes. the truck administration has broken the alliance between united states ukraine and now they own the consequences of that. you know, can ukraine survive in its current state without you are dramatic us military assistance. probably. ok in the short term, certainly not sustainable in the long term. so i think you're once the um, the anchor on all sides passes. the question will be, you can cooler

. >> throwing up his hands and kissing the ring of the president of the united states who is behavingself as an incipient authoritarian. >> most of us when we saw this we said what the hell. like something we have never heard her. august the opinion pages can go their own direction but to say we don't publish opposing viewpoints i'm seeing it shocking at best. >> greg: you know what it shocking? he still has a job. it is not what he said, you bozo, and suddenly the papers of the opinion editor quit in protest. it is funny you would thank the media would embrace the idea of freedom but they are not. why is that? why are they against so many things that make sense like cotton waste, deporting and giving justin trudeau and massive yg? it is because trump is for those things which to the left makes a more toxic than brian stelter's boxers after taco tuesday. true if trump found a cure for cancer of the media would call it an attack on cellular democracy. trump is so hard to deal with the media has now come out against the freedoms periods personal goals aligned with the countries. that is

united states, it had very much the feeling of an ambush. and, you know, president zelenskyy has thanked me, thanked the delegations that i visited ukraine with six times. i've met with him probably 15 times in total. every one of those meetings, as you've said. so. well, he has expressed his gratitude to the american people. and i think now we have to put it back together. i'm hopeful. i can't say i'm confident, but i am hopeful that at the staff level, at the diplomatic level, at the congressional level, we will preserve and use our bipartisan coalition. >> so so, gary, i mean, the body language, though, was incredible today. i mean, this is what i think just no one's ever seen anything like this in public, right? trump's pointing at him. right. you know, leaning in, um, zelenskyy trump's face then gets red. you know just the look on zelenskyy's face in some of these moments here that we've screengrabbed i mean, why do you think trump chose to respond to this? he made a comment at the end. gary, this is gonna be great tv, right? he was hyp

ukraine, that they do a principled issue where the united states stands up for democracy in the face of aggression by an authoritarian neighbor, but one where this kind of transactional deal of one kind, you know, involving, you know, for example, the. the minerals or, or something else in return. so, yeah, it was, it was, it was rather disturbing. >> yeah. can we talk about this deal for rare earth minerals in ukraine? and president trump essentially has said that he believes that if this deal were to be signed, it would effectively end the fighting in ukraine. can you help us understand why the president believes that would be the case? >> well, i mean, in the fighting, if zelensky agreed to a cease fire and have russia remain in control of 20% of the country and but zelensky, understandably, and the overwhelming majority of ukrainians are with him, is that they that is unacceptable, that they are willing to fight for every inch of their land. and so now there is reasonable debate. there is reasonable debate among those who would argue that, yes, russia is clearly in the wrong, but

so, so different problems that united states can bring to bear on. do you bring in to be more proper before just to punish them as the term tends to be. adam came in. this is a former pentagon official. he says, there is still room for a mineral steel to be made. are behind the scenes behind the political a noise to to can you still consider that this a, all things may not be lost for ukraine. i think that presents it lensky probably saw a need to at least fight back have already solve this renewed relationship between president trump and president putin of bringing rusher back in from the cold. so he thought back a felt back with some clear talking points. of course, thought back with some facts of going back. many different yeah, back to the obama administration. and so i think out of all this political noise that will no doubt continue in the coming days. that president trump would try to still show that he was in the superior position that he will continue to probably undermine present visual is the once he publicly i still don't think all is los

you see hakeem jeffries talking about how this is really terrible for the united states and how putinhe winner and how j.d. vance and donald trump are doing putin's bidding. so you have this kind of entrenched partisan warfare around this, but i think what we're missing is that we are in the middle of a global realliance. we're having a resorting with russia, iran, and china gaining dominance. so you see this outpouring of european countries in support of zelenskyy because they understand the stakes of this. they understand that the war in ukraine is a proxy war and when zelenskyy brought that up that it might reach american shores, only time will tell, but the winner tonight is absolutely putin. he is celebrating this moment with this chaos that we have never seen in the oval office. >> i have heard that a lot today. so public opinion on support for ukraine, military support coming from the u.s., has been split somewhat. there was a new pew research study that showed 30% of americans say we have given too much support. 22% say we aren't doing enough. obviously trump ran on this ameri

this is for the trillion dollars to the united states. it's a way for the us to get his money back and you walk out without signing it. he's going to make an example of you in some way. he's not going. it's going to say come back when you're ready for peace. you know, one of the, one of the concepts of the art of the deal is that if you make a good deal when someone walks away, when they come back, that deals gone. now you've got to take a new deal and i think that's what is the life he's looking at. now. he's not going to get the deal he had before. he's gonna have to take a different deal because he walked away from this one. let me pull it out from the fireworks inside the oval office, washington is reportedly put the brakes on rebuilding ukraine's sheffield energy infrastructure. and by the way, stop the usa. i the deep state agency report really being slashed as well. it's headcount shop from 64 down to 8. so that's plenty of chairs coming from mazda supporters over the covered side of offense. so lensky destroyed himself in the eyes

there may not be a deal between the united states and ukraine. but what has happened today is definitely triggering a much stronger, unified response by europe, essentially in support of ukraine. um, russia was hoping for a deal because the sanctions are working. the sanctions are debilitating the russian economy. it's not something that you can see on a daily basis. the change, the amplitude of the sanctions is something you can see over the long term. and the russian economy is completely poised to produce armaments, to produce weapons for the frontline, things that don't add value to the economy, things that are destroyed on a daily basis. so the russian economist and the kremlin know very well that there is a short horizon, after which there is no more recovery possible for the russian economy. therefore, russia is playing a game, a long game. it's trying to essentially extend the the time that it can negotiate, extend the time that it can get ukraine to be without external help and make advances in this time so that it has a stronger negotia

i don't think you would be without the united states.r people are very brave. >> thank you. >> you're either going to make a deal or we're out. if we're out, you'll fight it out. i don't think it is going to be pretty. but you'll fight it out. but you don't have the cards. once we sign that deal, you're in a much better position, but you're not acting at all thankful. and that's not a nice thing, i'll be honest. that's not a nice thing. i think we've seen enough, what do you think? this is going to be great television, i will say that. >> reporter: minutes later, a white house official tells nbc news that zelenskyy was asked to leave a private lunch and joint press conference canceled. the president posting zelenskyy disrespected the united states of america in its cherished oval office. >> i would say it didn't work out exactly great from his standpoint, i think he very much overplayed his hand. that was not a man that wanted to make peace. >> reporter: zelenskyy responding. >> i'm very thankful to americans for all your support. you di
