j.d. vanceten, i don't know what the other guy did before me, but this is a new new sheriff. we're going to end this war because a lot of people have died. j.d. vance talked about, you know, how they're forcing conscripts up -- i've read stories that they even had a men with downs syndrome and recruited them and forced them into vans toss recruit them to go into this meat grinder of a war. this has been brutal a, and donald trump said you are gambling with world war iii, and we're not going the pay for this. charlie: and, of course, after that explosive meeting, zelenskyy canceled all his interviews with american media after that except for our own bret baier, but then he went on last night on "special report" if did not take the opportunity to apologize. >> do you think your relationship with donald trump, president trump, after today can be salvaged? >> can be -- >> [speaking in native tongue] >> yes, of course, because it's relations more than two president. the historical relations, strong r

j.d. vance 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 zelenskyy again. >> do you think president zelenskyy needs to resign to resume these peace talks? >> he either needs to resign and send somebody over that we can do business with or he needs to change. >> laura: now, kinzinger, cheney, vindman, the whole crowd, their hero, the man who suspended elections in his own country, who basically did away with free expression who banned thousands of orthodox churches, came to town with an impew tent hectoring approach, expecting, i guess, to be treated like he was at harvard's kennedy school or maybe at the oscars. >> with this gentleman on my right and we look forward to keeping that going for a long period of time. thank you very much. thank you. >> thank you, mr. president. thank you. >> thank you very much. >> thank you. >> thank you, mr. president. >> laura: they were gracious. they weren't morons. but,

president trump and vice president j.d. vance 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 ultimately

there is one side showing disrespect, and that is when j.d. vance berates a president of a foreign country that is our ally. >> zelensky has. stood up to. >> a dictator. he they have lost hundreds of. thousands of people. he did it with three simple words. the first day of the invasion, when he went down to the street corner, when everyone had counted him out and said three words we are here. and that has never changed. the mass graves in bucha, the burned out apartment buildings that i saw with my own eyes in irpin. the ukrainians have been incredibly brave. and so for donald trump and jd vance to look at him and say, you never thanked us, that is just an all out lie. and everyone knows that. so for me, i believe so strongly that we have to stand with ukraine, that i have to figure out and so do other senators. and i did talk to republicans tonight. where do we go from here? and there is no choice but to continue on and to find a reset. our european allies really stood up this week. they've pledged troops, great britain and france, to work with ukr

already tense conversation turned into a stunning blowout when zelenskyy challenged vice president j.d. vance of diplomacy with russia. >> what kind of diplomacy, j.d., you are speaking about? what do you mean? >> i'm talking about the kind of diplomacy that's going to end the destruction of your country. >> yes, but -- >> mr. president, with respect, i think it's disrespectful for you to come to the oval office and try to litigate this in front of the media. you should be thanking the president for trying to bring an end to this conflict. >> the scheduled news conference was scrapped and zelenskyy left with neither side signing a mineral rights agreement. our anne makovec has reaction from a former u.s. ambassador to ukraine. >> joining us now is steven piffer, former u.s. ambassador to ukraine. thanks so much for joining us today. really curious what was going through your mind when you watched this unfold at the oval office. >> well, it was a bad day for ukraine. it was a very good day for moscow. it's also been a bad day for american national security interests because if ukraine loses, t

. >> oh, every time i see j.d. vance in situations like that, i say, thank god donald trump picked jd vance. brilliant. now, how shocking was it, though, when democrats, when they get desperate, they reach into their old musty drawer of failed arguments. >> what you. >> watched was american power being destroyed in the world as everybody watches president trump become a lapdog for a brutal dictator in moscow. >> there was one winner in this race. one winner. putin and his cronies are probably popping champagne bottles right now. >> the president. >> of the united. >> states is working on behalf of russia. >> russia. russia. russia. a broken record. it's been skipping here it since 2015. now they just need a new playbook. i mean, these guys are saying all day long i've never been more embarrassed to be an american. they should never be more embarrassed to be a political party. after those responses. but the president himself could not have been clearer today. >> looking to get into anything protracted. i want immediate pe

trump and vice president j.d. vance made a choice to berate ukrainian president volodymyr zelensky in the oval office yesterday. what was meant to be a negotiation over ukraine's rare earth minerals quickly turned into a diplomatic disaster. >> mr. president, with respect, i think it's disrespectful for you to come into the oval office and try to litigate this in front of the american media. you should be thanking the president for trying to bring an end to this conflict. >> into ukraine, that you say what problems we have. >> i have been to one. >> i have. >> not in a good position. you don't have the cards right now with us. you start having cards. cards? right now you don't. you're playing. >> cards. >> you're playing cards. you're gambling with the lives of millions of people. you're gambling with world war three. >> this moment is yet another reminder. trump is scolding the leader of a country that was invaded. trump has never publicly scolded vladimir putin, the invader. he actually said in the meeting that he can

i listened closely, j.d. vance called him mr. called j.d., j.d -- [laughter] instead of mr. vice president. he comes in, you know, dressed in a costume instead of a suit. i think there's a lot of things that are happening here x this guy's very used to a certain way of operating, but there's a new sheriff in town. peter: and when zelenskyy's calling the vice president j.d., he was also shaming him for not visiting ukraine. the guy who was visiting ukraine more than anybody, lindsey graham, marched right out to the fox position on the lawn and said zelenskyy's gotta go. so i don't think that these visits, these pr visits the ukraine, are getting a good return for the zelenskyy team right now. ing i don't think the ukraine visit is the reason vance has a different opinion -- rachel: i don't know, peter, the propaganda tours of ukraine have actually given him a lot of money. [laughter] they've worked for long time. peter: for a long time. rachel: and lindsey graham, he kind of goes with the wind. it's not exactly like he's an honest

that's when vice president j.d. vance entered the argument. >> i'm talking about the kind of diplomacy that's going to end the destruction of your country. >> yes. >> mr. president, mr. president, with respect, i think it's disrespectful for you to come into the oval office and try to litigate this in front of the american media. right now, you guys are going around. >> a senior white house official tells abc news. zelensky was then escorted to a holding room, then told the president demanded that he leave the white house. president trump posted on social media this afternoon that zelensky can return when he's ready for peace. what happened at the white house certainly sent shockwaves through the entire political community. >> a bay area congressman just happened to be holding a meeting with constituents tonight in the south bay. >> abc seven news reporter lauren martinez was there as he addressed what happened in washington. >> more than 300 people packed west valley college theater in saratoga for congressman sam liccar

that's when vice president j.d. vancentered the argument. >> i'm talking about the kind of diplomacy that's going to end the destruction of your country. >> yes. >> mr. president, mr. president, with respect, i think it's disrespectful for you to come into the oval office and try to litigate this in front of the american media. right now, you guys are going around. >> a senior white house official tells abc news. zelensky was then escorted to a holding room, then told the president demanded that he leave the white house. president trump posted on social media this afternoon that zelensky can return when he's ready for peace. what happened at the white house certainly sent shockwaves through the entire political community. >> a bay area congressman just happened to be holding a meeting with constituents tonight in the south bay. >> abc seven news reporter lauren martinez was there as he addressed what happened in washington. >> more than 300 people packed west valley college theater in saratoga for congressman sam liccardo

no one said he was responding to j.d. vance talking about diplomacy in the mold of donald trump. >> talk at the same time. so let's just try to have one person talking. >> at a time. you can't give trump. >> a day. >> can you? just a second. because look, the question now is, why is it that the only thing that matters in this high stakes game of life and death and global diplomacy is whether or not you say, i apologize. thank you. >> why is it the only. >> why is that the only thing that matters? why you? because that's the only thing that you've mentioned thus far. why is that? the thing that rises above the reality? that there is a deal that needs to be struck, and all parties involved need to be adults in the room? >> well, there are others who think the only thing that matters is us provoking russia through our words by constantly saying putin is a dictator and aggressor. i agree with that. but i also agree that maybe you need to hold your rhetorical fire to get someone to the table to negotiate an end. >> you know? i mean,

the way that president trump and j.d. vanceod up for american interest on the world stage, the way that president trump befriended americans after years of being fleeced and abused and taken advantage of and taken for granted millions of american hearts swelled with overflowing pride today to watch president trump put zelenskyy in his place. the only reason that zelenskyy has a country, that zelenskyy is in power is because of the united states. americans have suffered economically funding this worn-out four years. american security has been integrated. or stockpiles depleted, our ability to project power in other regions of the world negatively affected. to protect and defend ukraine are. americans probably don't even know the true extent of just how much military support on multiple levels and fronts america has provided to ukraine. and then this man shows up in the oval office and lectures us? says we have to do more? says we are not as good as europe? says we don't provide them forever work guarantee? fight rush until the e

. >> president trump, vice president j.d. vance also accused ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy of being ungrateful for all the u.s. support his country has received. zelenskyy was there to talk about ending russia's war with ukraine and to sign a deal for u.s. mineral rights in ukraine as a way of repaying the american military aid. but the deal was called off and zelenskyy left the white house. since then, things have been further unraveling. president trump warned that he wants an immediate cease-fire between russia and ukraine. while republican senator lindsey graham says zelenskyy either needs to resign or change. he went on fox news to do some damage control and says he is thankful for the u.s. support and he was sorry for what happened. he also said he will not resign and will not enter peace talks until ukraine has security guarantees against another offensive. so how does everyone move forward with this? well, former defense secretary leon panetta says the outlook is bleak. >> that's what concerns me more than anythin

it revealed instead a donald trump and a j.d. vancean errand for vladimir putin. >> they are popping the champagne in moscow. they have their best vodka out and they're doing shots as we speak no question. >> that is exactly the same thought that went through my head. >> the propaganda is what's coming out of j.d. vance's mouth and it is russian propaganda. >> catelyn, i want to start and look at her face. hold that thought for -- actually, please. take it away. >> never in the history of modern diplomacy, war, piece, whatever have i ever, ever, ever seen anything like it. >> sean: that's because you've never had a leader like donald trump. our friend clay travis another friend joe. the most amazing thing is, and i will start with you joe, because this is your wheelhouse, and ambush propaganda for putin, he is trying to end a war that is killing hundreds of thousands of people. it is destroying an entire country. and america have been using america's hundreds of billions of dollars to fight this war. and it would be in everybody's best

start of this made for tv debacle at the white house today, where the president and vice president j.d. vance screamed at our ally vladimir zelensky and berated him with russian government talking points. when this happened today in washington, there were a couple of things that stuck out to me. first of all, at the very start of this photo op, they had all the press in the room. trump was asked right at the outset when he last spoke with vladimir putin. he said, quote, a couple of days ago, which was news because the us government had said nothing about donald trump speaking with vladimir putin a couple of days ago. so that's new. he used to say, i'm not allowed to talk about that. now he's admitting that he talks to putin all the time, even when the us government doesn't release any information about those calls like they do with all other foreign leaders. second was the truly bizarre revelation that russian state controlled media, for some reason, was in the oval office today when this scene happened with volodymyr zelensky. now, to be clear, the trump white house will not allow the associ

meanwhile, poor j.d. vance.y does the book say elon had no interest in meeting him because he was only vice president, this photo has been making the rounds today. which looks like elon musk is also making budget cuts to his pants. [ laughter ] he looks like he walked into bloomingdale's and said, give me the urkel. [ laughter ] where does one even get pants like that? is there an american boy doll store? [ laughter ] we also got some hot melania gossip from the book, including a quote from a staffer that said melania effing hates her husband. which i get that. [ laughter ] it seems that she wants no part of him. the book reveals "nobody can tell you where melania even actually lives." she's like the easter bunny. we just know it's -- apparently not even trump's staff knew where melania was living during the campaign. and she hasn't been around much since he won, until this weekend. she hadn't been in washington for a month. she reappeared on saturday night at a dinner for governors. you can see, here she is ent

. >> president trump and vice president j.d. vance accused ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy of being ungrateful for all of the u.s. support his country has received. zelenskyy was there to talk about ending russia's war with ukraine and to sign a deal for u.s. mineral rights in ukraine as a way of repaying the american military aid, but the deal was called off and zelenskyy suddenly left the white house. things have been unraveling since. president trump warned he wants an immediate ceasefire between russia and ukraine while republican senator lindsey graham said zelle len skill needs to resign or change. zelenskyy went on fox news to do some damage control and said he is thankful for the u.s. support, that he is sorry for what happened and said he will not resign and will not enter peace talks until ukraine has security guarantees against another offensive. how does everybody move forward from this moment? former defense secretary leon panetta told us earlier today the outlook is bleak. >> that's what concerns me more than any

meeting between ukraine's president volodymyr zelenskyy and president trump and vice president j.d. vance devolved into a shouting match. >> mr. president, with respect, i think it's disrespectful for you to come to the oval office, try to litigate this in front of the american media. you guys are going around forcing conscripts to the front lines because you have manpower problems. you should be thanking the president for trying to bring an end to this conflict. >> have you ever been to ukraine that you say what problems we have? >> i have been to -- >> our devin fehely has more from the tense meeting and response around the globe. i just know personally so many people were sharing this clip almost the instant it came out. >> yeah. it was an unprecedented blowup in a public setting like this. zelenskyy arrived at the white house this morning to sign a landmark deal to share ukraine's rare earth mineral resources in exchange for continued support in the war against russia. now that could all be in jeopardy. the have the came days after president trump called zelenskyy a dictator on social

after a shouting match in the oval office between vladimir zelenskyy, donald trump and j.d. vance.was a meeting that went from cordial to combative in just minutes. listen to this. >> we gave you military equipment. you and your men are brave, but they had to use our military. if you didn't have our military equipment, if you didn't have our military equipment, this war would have been over in two weeks. >> in three days. i heard it from putin in three days. this is something. maybe less in two weeks. of course. >> it's going to be a very hard thing to do. business like this. i tell you. >> we'll have a look. the body language in those pictures tells a dramatic story. you can see each president pointing, expressing anger and frustration. the trouble seemed to come about because president zelenskyy was asking for security guarantees as part of a peace agreement. after the meeting, president trump said he doesn't think president zelenskyy wants peace. zelenskyy went on fox news, saying he thinks his relationship with president trump can be salvaged. here he is. >> do you think. >> th

and when you when j.d. vance asked, have you said thank you, i thought, did george marshall ever ask france to say thank you? did he ever ask germany to say thank you? did he ask japan to say thank you? that's not what americans do. we don't ask people to say thank you for the generosity. we benefit from it also. and it's just this kind of gigantic cleavage with that old word cold. that was once the part of america where we had an american president siding with an autocratic dictator who invaded another country, invaded the largest country in europe, the largest cross-border invasion since world war two, something that trump won't even admit to. so it was it was a very, very sad day for american diplomacy, for american history. and it's just painful to watch. >> julia, i want to, you. >> know, play a little. >> bit of president. >> zelensky on fox news, responding to. what we just. >> saw, what happened in the oval office. take a listen. >> do you think the public spat in the oval office in front of. >> the. >> m

vice president j.d. vance is responding to pope francis disapproval over the trump administration's plans for mass deportations. earlier this month, the pope sent a letter to u.s. bishops saying deportation deprives people of their dignity and will end badly. today, the vp spoke at the national catholic prayer breakfast in washington. he led a prayer for the pope, who was hospitalized with pneumonia. but then he said he's surprised by the pope's criticism. he also warned americans not to focus on all the comments that come out of the catholic church. a shower of glass in new york city today, after two window washers smashed into the side of a building. take a look. the two window washers, way up high, were cleaning outside the 78th floor of this manhattan building. suddenly, their scaffolding was taken by the wind, twisting and turning over the streets below. eventually, the scaffolding smashed into that apartment window, sending glass flying into the air. firefighters were able to rescue those workers. parame

be a photo op turned into a pointing and yelling match between president trump, vice president j.d. vance, and ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy. >> you're not in a good position. you don't have the cards right now. with us you start having cards. >> we're not playing cards. i'm very serious, mr. president. i'm very serious. >> you're gambling with the lives of millions of people. you're gambling with world war iii. >> the conversation first turned contentious when zelenskyy questioned the vice president about russia honoring any deal. >> what kind of diplomacy, j.d., you are speaking about? what do you mean? >> i'm talking about the kind of diplomacy that's going to end the destruction of your country. mr. president, with respect, i think it's disrespectful for you to come to the oval office and try to litigate this in front of the american media. you should be thanking the president for trying to bring an end to this conflict. >> an emotional president trump stepping into the argument telling zelenskyy america saved ukraine. >> if you didn't have our military equipment, this war w

for more than five minutes, president trump and vice president j.d. vance chided president zelenskyy at one point, saying he should be more thankful to the united states for its support. you're not in a good position. you don't have the cards right now with us. you start having cards. cards right now, what's at stake is an agreement with the u.s. to grant access to half of ukraine's precious minerals mining rights in exchange for continued security support against russia. instead, zelenskyy left the white house without any signatures for that agreement and a threat by trump to pull all u.s. support to the country. cal state east bay political science professor nolan higdon says this sends a signal to american allies about a big change in what had been 80 years of support for countries that are threatened by enemies like russia. and trump seems to be now breaking with that tradition. and as i watch that, all i could keep thinking about was instability. i think that's the message that's probably sent out to the world. here in the bay area, there seems to be c

i was very proud of j.d. vance standing up for our country. we want to be helpful.hen i saw in the oval office was disrespectful, and i don't know if we can ever do business with zelensky again. >> who can unpack that one for me. >> i, ronald. >> reagan. >> the best allies. >> to. >> america. >> are democracies. >> with capitalism. >> and. >> open economies and the best trading partners we can have. and that was, you know, the republican party for decades. democrats, you. >> know. >> pushed. the same thing. they were a little more isolationist, actually worried. >> about militarism. >> but using the american military. >> the might of the american. >> military to defend. >> other democracies. >> was. >> the. >> gulf war message. but for lindsey graham to make this point, what was zelensky saying? donald trump and j.d. vance had one move today. brute force. >> yes. >> and so to say. he came in and misbehaved. they walked in swinging. steve, let's talk about the market's reaction for a moment. because remember, if donald trump has any guardrail at all, it's the markets

donald trump and j.d. vance had one move today. brute force. yes. and so to say. he came in and misbehaved. they walked in swinging. steve, let's talk about the market's reaction for a moment. because remember, if donald trump has any guardrail at all, it's the markets in theory. >> so before this what had happened is after the election, the market as i'm quoting the s&p now shot up by 7% on the hopes and dreams idea. >> right. >> no taxes. >> donald trump, deregulation, tax cuts, accelerated depreciation. since the election. the s&p is off 1.3%. yeah. so the promise of donald trump is plus seven. the execution of donald trump so far is -1.3. but today the market sold off on this. what is it. ambush in the white house. whatever we're using whatever. and then it rallied again. and the reason is because and i also think donald trump sees this. i don't know if you wanted to go there, but russian oil could come back onto the market in a in a better way. it could help donald trump with a potential inflation problem he could have with tariffs, bringing all kinds of comm

soured between ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy and president donald trump and vice president j.d. vance. you should be thanking the president for trying to bring an end to this conflict. it was supposed to be a negotiation over u.s. access to precious minerals in ukraine in exchange for continued support against russia. but in the end, nothing was signed. a white house official told nbc news that trump and others asked zelenskyy to leave. trump posted to truth social, saying he can come back when he's ready for peace. it was very sad to see and palo alto resident irina and who is from ukraine, watched in shock. she insists zelensky wasn't getting the protections he was asking for. what happened today with all the accusations and the reason why he reacted like this? it's because he didn't see enough, didn't see enough meaningful security guarantees for ukraine. now, hopes for that agreement are on hold, and the president has threatened to pull all u.s. support to ukraine. i sincerely hope that there is still time, and there's still a possibility to sign the agreement. igor markov is with

maurice: but it quickly turned into a loud argument involving the two presidents and vice president j.d. vanceding the war, vladimir putin, and whether zelenskyy had shown enough gratitude for u.s. support. in the end, there was no deal, no lunch, and zelenskyy was thrown out of the white house. >> john: and that is where we find our ed o'keefe and begins our coverage. ed? >> reporter: good evening. it was a relatively civil affair for about 40 minutes as the leaders discussed the war, but then the conversation turned as the president and vice president accused zelenskyy of being ungrateful for american support. >> he's all dressed up today. >> reporter: that jab set the tone for the day for these two men who share plenty of history. both tv stars before being elected presidents. ukraine's volodymyr zelenskyy was at the center of president trump's first impeachment. he was accused of asking zelenskyy to investigate unproven claims of fraud committed by hunter biden. it's something trump referenced at one point today. >> russia, russia, russia. you ever hear of that deal? that was a phony -- th

the two met in the oval office, along with vice president j.d. vance, to talk about a potential rare earth mineral deal. the white house is presented that deal as an important step for a peace deal between ukraine and russia, but a shouting match started after vp vance suggested more diplomacy between russia and ukraine. zelensky countered, saying russia can't be trusted to honor any peace deals. things got even more fiery from there. 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. i'm in no position to dictate that. remember this. you're in no position to dictate what we're going to feel. you'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 have the cards ri

. >> reporter: vice president j.d. vance then jumping in. >> i will respond to this. so, look. for four years, the united states of america, we had a president who stood up at press conferences and talked tough about vladimir putin and then putin invaded ukraine and destroyed a significant chunk of the country. the path to peace and the path to prosperity is maybe engaging in diplomacy. >> reporter: zelenskyy interjecting. >> can i ask you -- >> sure, yeah, yeah. >> okay. >> reporter: the ukrainian president making the point that when they tried diplomacy in the past, putin broke the deal. >> he broke the ceasefire. he killed our people. and he didn't exchange prisoners. we signed the exchange of prisoners, but he didn't do it. what kind of diplomacy, j.d., you ask became involved? what do you mean? >> i'm talking about the kind of diplomacy that's going to end the destruction of your country. >> yeah, but -- >> mr. president -- mr. president, with respect, i think it's disrespectful for you to come into the oval office try to litigate this in front of the american media. right

so you think thanks will probably be smooth and then j.d. vancee kicked in the door. >> i don't think he will be mad. he has been hard on the issue for years on the ukraine... he has been ready to kick in the door for years. >> greg: in your face, david. i'm beginning to rethink my assessment of you as a political genius. >> fair. >> greg: stick to santa fe politics, male manner. up next losing trust after the epstein files bustt wh. sensodyne clinical white provides two shades whiter teeth as well as providing 24/7 sensitivity protection. patients are going to love to see sensodyne on the shelf. i had the worst dream last night. you were in a car crash and the kids and i were on our own. that's awful, hon. my brother was saying he got life insurance from ethos. and he got $2 million in coverage, all online. life insurance made easy. check your price today at ethos.com. >> a story in five words. >> greg: epstein files were a bust. emily, this is just so frustrating. the doj said it was releasing the epstein files yesterday but it was a big nothing

the propaganda is what's coming up of j.d. vance 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. >> yeah, what i would say is that many of those outlets, cnn, msnbc and the like, are the kind of outlets you would never go to if you wanted to get any kind of accurate information. the fact is that the american people 3-1 want to end the war. they don't want endless funding of wars, they made that pretty clear in november. i think what's happening here is that the corporate media is not used to seeing this happen out in the open and them being many of the people who are very supportive of this war, that narrative is falling apart right before their eyes and i don't think they know how to react. >> trace: i think that's fair. this was set on cnn tonight. >> a day where trump and vance behaved like bullies ganging up on som

. >> reporter: vice president j.d. vanceto berate zelenskyy. >> have you said thank you once in this entire meeting? >> a lot of times. >> no, in this entire meeting have you said thank you. >> reporter: zelenskyy unable to reset the tone. >> please, you think that if you will speak very loudly about the war, you can -- >> he's not speaking loudly. he's not speaking loudly. your country is in big trouble. >> can i answer? >> wait a minute. no, no, you've done a lot of talking. your country is in big trouble. >> reporter: the white house blaming zelenskyy for the blowup. trump kicking zelenskyy out, canceling the press conference. zelenskyy abruptly leaving without signing the deal for ukraine to share its mineral resources. later zelenskyy declining to apologize to trump but telling fox news, he's grateful. >> i'm thankful to president trump and to congress bipartisan support, and i'm speaking like a president of a people who are in this struggle three years, and they just want to hear that america is on our side and that am

there was also a tense exchange between zelensky and vice president j.d. vance when he suggested it is time for diplomacy. take a listen to that. >> he broken the cease fire. he killed our people, and he didn't exchange prisoners. we signed the exchange of prisoners, but he didn't do it. what kind of diplomacy? j.d, you are speaking about what what what what do you mean? >> i'm talking about the kind of diplomacy that's going to end the destruction of your country. >> yes. >> mr. president, mr. president, with respect, i think it's disrespectful for you to come into the oval office and try to litigate this in front of the american media. >> trump and zelensky cut that meeting short, and the two leaders canceled a joint news conference that had been scheduled. >> okay, so let's talk more about all of this. and welcome back to the show this afternoon, stephen zunes, professor of politics and international studies at the university of san francisco. thank you so much for being here. so first, your reaction to this public blowup today, and what does it mean for ukra

and that's what vice president j.d. vance entered the argument. >> i'm talking about the kind of diplomacy that's going to end the destruction of your country. >> yes. >> mr. president, mr. president, with respect, i think it's disrespectful for you to come into the oval office and try to litigate this in front of the american media. right now, you guys are going around. >> a senior white house official tells abc news. zelenskyy was then escorted to a holding room, then told the president demanded that he leave the white house. president trump posted on social media this afternoon that zelensky can return when he's ready for peace. president trump is expected to sign an executive order declaring english the official language of the u.s. the white house says it would undo a clinton era mandate requiring agencies receiving federal funding to provide extensive language assistance. the new rule would give agencies flexibility to decide when and how to offer services in other languages. now. california. a lot of people don't know

president trump and vice president j.d. vanceiday. >> zelensky challenged trump's proposal. >> for a. >> ceasefire that. >> failed to. >> include security guarantees. >> and seemed. >> to. favor russia. the meeting ended abruptly without the signing. >> of a rare. >> minerals deal. and pope. francis remains in the hospital after, quote, sudden worsening of. a respiratory condition. the 88 year old pontiff has been put on a noninvasive mechanical ventilator and is said to be alert. alert. >> for now, back to dateline. when investigators questioned jd spielbauer about the murder of his ex-wife robin, it seemed pretty clear he was hiding something. as they poked around in jd's private life, they soon found out what it might be. josh mankiewicz: bad blood between katie and robin? we had bad blood between katie and robin. josh mankiewicz (voiceover): there's a song titled "all my ex's live in texas," and that was definitely true for jd spielbauer. married to robin, he had an affair with katie, then married katie, after which, jd appea

. >> what we just witnessed between donald trump, j.d. vance and president zelensky inside the white house was an ambush. it was a planned ambush designed to embarrass president zelensky in order to benefit vladimir putin. >> what a complete and utter mess. and this is a gift to putin. we don't gain anything by acting like bullies. and this is what bullies do. and just because you act this way, by the way, it doesn't mean that you're tough. >> the president of the united states is a coward. who is vladimir putin's puppet? the vice president of the united states is a rogue and a coward. who is donald trump's puppet. and so what we just witnessed was a meeting in the oval office between two cowardly puppets and a hero. >> this is just meaningless sloganeering. what is the democrats plan for peace in ukraine? they don't have one. what's the democrats plan to win the war in ukraine? they don't have one. the democrats only plan is to keep doing whatever joe biden was doing, which was fight an unwinnable, endless proxy war. give the ukrainians just e

if you look carefully at what trump did prior to j.d. vance interference, even when he met zelenskyy, when he said, oh, you're dressed up. that's not trump. he was not berating. it was, well, okay, fine. you know more. sunny. sunny. look, you know, trump was in a good mood. he was ready to sign. it's every every indication that trump wanted to sign and to trumpet a big victory. jd vance interfered. and by the way, senator, tell me what jd vance was doing in the oval office. it's it's highly unusual. i think that jd vance, who represents the most aggressive part of the administration, maye musk, uh, donald junior. so and they were always anti-ukrainian they were always more pro-russian than trump. and i think they were concerned about trump's weakness or softness with macron and starmer. that's why jd vance was there. i think jd vance came in to create this crisis. and up to his interference. it was all more, again, trump. trump was trump. but but jd vance intentionally provoked the crisis. and then it was very easy. trump fired up. >> well, he

donald trump, j.d. vance, vladimir zelenskyy, or all equally? joining me now, cnn senior military analyst james stavridis. he's the former supreme allied commander of nato, a retired four star navy admiral, a partner at the carlyle group, a global investment firm. he serves on the board of advisors for a handful of defense related companies, and is the author of a terrific book, the restless wave a novel of the united states navy. admiral. i imagine you have seen many squabbles like this among world leaders and military leaders, but not on camera. yeah. >> you hit the right point. by the way, i agree with. your analysis. overall. um, i go back a decade ago when the nato heads of state and government, including our president barack obama, who, by the way, his nickname was no drama obama. he knew enough to keep those kind of disagreements out of the photo spray at the top of the event. and he and other world leaders would go toe to toe with hamid karzai about how we were conducting the war in afghanistan. putting that all on display does neither s

jd vance and some of the people he runs with that have this really weird thing for russia, and j.d. vance has basically shown his affection for russia. and, you know, with him and trump, people keep acting surprised. i mean, this is what they've said they're going to do. so it has nothing to do with the campaign. vladimir zelenskyy did not endorse kamala harris. he went to the sitting president. by the way, joe biden was the sitting president. there's always a campaign. so can you never talk to a president when there's a campaign? and he saw where people in scranton, pennsylvania, were were creating 155 munition shells for artillery to help ukraine defend itself. it was amazing that he went there. and only the thin skinned toddler that sits in the oval office, donald trump, would be upset by that. there is no other time. the sitting president of the united states has every right to take somebody like zelenskyy to a to a munitions factory, and they can get ticked off all they want about it. but ultimately, donald trump, people have to go to the oval office. what your prior segment was sayi

it wasn't until nearly the end when vice president j.d. vance stepped in, that things really devolved very, very quickly. the question now, where does this go from here? the white house says president zelenskyy can come back when he wants to make peace. but what exactly does that mean? there's no question the u.s. has been unwilling to offer any type of security agreement and be a backstop for a european forces in ukraine. they all point to the fact that vladimir putin has violated agreement after agreement after agreement. so now, as we head into the weekend, the president in florida at his mar a lago resort, the question remains, will this diplomatic channel reopen? is ukraine now alone? those answers are not clear. victor. >> all right. jeff zeleny for us at the white house. thank you. with me now is dan ryder. he's a political science professor at emory university and the author of how wars end. you are the right man to talk with this. talk about this with us. thanks for coming in. how wars end. do you think we just saw the end of u.s. suppo
