that president trump is on your side at this moment? pres. trump: go ahead. he wants to know do you think -- it is sort of a stupid question. i guess we wouldn't be here if i wasn't. pres. zelenskyy: i think that the united states, from the very beginning of the occupation, was on our side and i think that president trump is on our side and i am sure that the united states president will not stop support. this is crucial for us. it's important for us. and they speak about the people dying but they came to our territory. they came to our land. they began this war and they have to stop. this is the question, the most important question. can president trump help us with some other allies to stop putin, withdrew -- withdraw his troops from our land? you ask about history. i think about if or when he will stop prudent and bring -- stop putin and bring peace to our country, he will be on this wall in time. pres. trump: we have had very good talks. >> president zelenskyy just said there will be no compromises. i just wanted to ask both of you, firstly, are there com

again, trump. trump was trump. but but jd vance intentionally provoked the crisis. and then it was very easy. trump fired up. >> well, he got fired. >> because he was lying. i mean, he was pushing the same lies. you know, he was a straight face the same way he did it in munich, facing the europeans, saying, you're a bunch of suckers and losers. the same. he's you know, he knows how to deliver. and he knew exactly that. trump will jump. you know, when zelenskyy tried to actually to correct the facts. >> you know, on that moment when you see you see zelenskyy laying out the times the ceasefire has been broken and trump's annoyed at times, he jumps in and tries to make the point. well, i wasn't president then, but it is jd vance. i think it's disrespectful for you to come to the oval and then he and the whole thing turns, you know, sort of jumped in to come to the defense of his big brother or something. >> and that's what i meant when i said it smacks of an ambush, that jd vance knew what he was doing. he probably anticipated trump would rise to the bait, so to speak,

trump: 2015. vp vance: 2014. pres. trump: 2014? i was not here. pres.s, but during 14 tail 2022, a situation with the same. people have been dying on the contract line. nobody stopped him. you know, we have conversations, with him a lot of conversations, multilateral conversations. we signed with him, me, like a new president in 2019, i sent with him the deal. i signed with him, and and angela merkel, a ceasefire. all of them told me that he will never go. we signed him, a guest contract. yes. but after that, he broke the cease-fire. he killed our people and he did not exchange prisoners. we signed the exchange of prisoners. but he didn't do it. what kind of diplomacy, jd, you are speaking about? what do you mean? vp vance: i'm talking about the diplomacy that will and the destruction of your country. 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 media right now you guys are going around forcing conscripts to the front lines because you have manpower problems. . you

trump and god bless now president trump will stop him. but during 2014 nobody stopped him. he just occupied and took. he killed people. pres. trump: 2015. pres. zelenskyy: 2014. pres. trump: i was not here. pres. zelenskyy: yes, but during 2014 until 2022. the situation is the same. people have been dying. nobody stopped him. you know that we had conversations with him. a lot of conversations. multilateral conversations. we signed with him in 2019 the deal. i signed with him, macron, we -- macron and merkel, we signed a cease-fire. a cease-fire. all of them told me he will never go. we signed with him a gas contract. yes, but after that, he broke the cease-fire. he killed our people. he did not exchange prisoners. we signed the exchange of prisoners. but he didn't do it. what kind of diplomacy are you speaking about? what do you mean? vice pres. vance: i'm talking about the kind of diplomacy that will end the destruction of your country. mr. president, with respect, i think it is disrespectful for you to come into the oval office and try

and that is donald trump because donald trump alone can deter putin and get a deal. europeans in the left here in the united states cannot do that. >> sean: great to have you, thank you. when we come back, the media mob , after all of these years, they do not understand donald trump. they had a meltdown over donald trump standing up to the american people and trying to create peace around europe in the entire world. were back next with reaction. total beets, america's best-selling beets brand, is available at walmart. total beets blood pressure support soft chews contain a key ingredient clinically shown to deliver two times better blood pressure support. take control of your health. head to walmart and get total beets blood pressure support soft chews today. >> this is a fox news update. prayers from around the world as pope francis condition takes a turn for the worst. the vatican now requires -- says he now requires assistant ventilation but remains conscious and alert. the setback follows two days of increasingly upbeat reports about a condition. the 88-year-old

donald trump and. >> jd vance. so i mean, i just did being you're being consistent, but the white house isn't being consistent. and they have no credibility to talk about decorum. i mean, the reason why this question was asked is because this so-called reporter from one american news was there. why was this person even in the room? why was there a reporter from the russian news agency tass, state media from russia in the room, in the oval office? that's that's what i'm talking about. i talk about the incompetence of this, this administration. and yet you can't have the associated press there because trump doesn't like them, because they won't refer to the. >> i've actually escorted media into the oval office. it was part of my. >> job. i know, you know, it is absolute chaos. >> when the foreign media you. >> can't if you if you if you can't control whether the russian news agency is is allowed to come into the oval office, one of the most protected spaces in the country, and you don't have the you don't have the mo

donald trump has made president trump's made deals his entire life. he's not going to get suckered into some deal. that's not a real deal. we all understand this. we understand it on our end for certain. and so the goal here is to get to a place where we have to explore whether peace is possible. i've said this repeatedly, i don't know. i think it is based on what they've said so far, but we have to explore that. how else is this war going to end? i asked people, what is the european plan to end this war? i can tell you at one foreign minister told me, and i'm not going to say who it was, but i can tell you what one of them told me, and that is that the war goes on for another year. and at that point, russia will feel so weakened that they'll beg for a peace. that's another year of killing, another year of dying, another year of destruction. and by the way, not a very realistic plan in my point of view. so if there's a chance of peace, even if it's a 1% chance that needs to be explored, and that's what president trump is trying to do here. >> presiden

, but they are not hurting trump.y 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 someone on the playground, treating zelenskyy like a child. it went downhill when zelenskyy correctly laid out facts about how putin has broken his word on invading ukraine not once, not twice, not three times or four, but even more

trump really could not take that.point at which i think he got his -- his back was got up the most. we saw this basically humiliation of mr. zelenskyy, of course the far weaker partner in a very vulnerable position, comes here out into an existentially dangerous moment both for himself, his country, and potentially his own life, if you look at the nature of this war. it was an extraordinary, history defining moment that i think has ramifications not just for the security of ukraine and wider europe, but potentially for global security. helena: i know everyone is wrapping their heads around what just happened in the oval office a matter of hours ago, but at this stage, do we have any indications about what this might mean for the u.s. support of ukraine going forward? tom: it is extremely hard to see how tomorrow the -- donald trump turns around and says i was wrong and we are going to keep the missile defense flying back to ukraine. this clearly was played out very publicly. it did seem to want to escalate. it seems t

trump will stop him. but during 2015, nobody stopped him. he just occupied and took. he killed people. you know -- president trump: 2015. >> yes, but during 2014 until 2022, the situation was the same that people have been dying on the contact line. nobody stopped him. you know, we had conversations with him. a lot of conversations. bilateral conversation and we signed be him me, like a 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. but after 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 didi plow massy, 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 into the oval office appear

trump expressed more. sympathy for putin. >> than he ever has, maybe for. >> anyone publicly. >> let me tell you, putin went through a hell of a lot with me. he went through a phony witch hunt where they used him and russia, russia, russia, russia, the whole thing was a scam. and he had to put up with that. he was being accused of all that stuff. >> donald trump is mad on putin's behalf. >> trump is mad that he. >> failed to extort president. elect zelensky. >> in 2019. >> to stop. >> joe. >> biden from beating. >> him in the 2020. >> presidential race. he's mad congress. impeached him for that. >> he is. >> mad because he can't be like putin. at least not yet. as gary kasparov. >> writes in a. >> new. >> piece, the putin ization. >> of america unleashing elon musk and his doge cadres. >> on the federal government. >> menacing canada and. >> european allies, and embracing vladimir. >> putin's wish. wish list for ukraine. >> and. >> beyond are not unrelated. >> these moves are all strategic elements. >> of

that was trump's argument. zelenskyy was saying, you know, you can't trust him, that he's he's blown through all these ceasefires before. there's a reason we want enforcement to be here. so there were these moments of corrections and zelenskyy weighing in and asking if he could respond to questions building throughout, but nothing that compares to what happened there when when trump had actually said, let's take one more question. and then vice president vance said, actually, i'd like to weigh in. and that's when he spoke up. and then zelenskyy responded to that. and of course, that is where it devolved from there, and was one of the most astonishing things i've ever seen inside the oval. and after that, i should note trump. trump stayed in the oval with his top advisers. the 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.

vance and. >> ellen try to out-trump. >> trump. >> and we keep seeing it. you know, we're sort of they they're. trying to be even trumpier. but i thought. >> what was interesting. >> was. >> the moment. >> where the negotiation really broke down. >> was that. >> zelensky didn't. >> trust taking trump at his word. >> right. like the whole. >> deal is that america will. >> protect ukraine for these. >> minerals, right? >> that's the deal. and the problem is like, if you look back at trump 1.0, it's hard to imagine that. >> this guy that you. >> should just. >> take him at his word. and i. >> think ultimately that was sort of the sticking point. you know, it fell apart, but it really fell apart because. >> zelensky wanted more. >> assurances about security. >> steve. i'm coming to you. but but, david, i need you to help us now. tell us what happens next, like short and long term for ukraine. vladimir zelensky is on the plane headed home. now what? >> i think. >> you know, trump will cut off all aid and putin. >> this actually. >> just decreases the chances of

president trump wants peace.committed to that president zelenskyy either needs to change his attitude or perhaps he can't make a deal at all. >> laura: karoline, we are hearing different narratives tonight. is president trump in the mood at all to revisit this mineral deal, given what happened earlier today? >> well, i think the president remains committed to peace. and he wants to see this war end. that hasn't president's intention all along. don't forget he talked about this extensively on the campaign trail. as soon as he was elected on november 5th. before he was even inaugurated he talked to zelenskyy. his team started negotiations to end this war. and more has been done in a month by president trump and his team to move towards a tangible and lasting peace than the previous three years under. >> >> laura: karoline, i'm sorry to interrupt. i am talking about the deal. had the table set up. the room set up to sign that mineral deal. >> that's right. >> laura: what now? >> well, we'll have to see. and it's up

donald trump was donald trump was doing everything he could to be out in front.hen you know you have vulnerabilities, you should be showing and telling. but instead they disengaged. that was their strategy. if you can't do a super bowl interview in the year you're running for president, that that should have been a sign. and i think it was. >> we know republicans were criticized and still are for looking backwards at the last elections and not getting over it, so to speak, although it's very different scenario in terms of january 6th and beyond and election denialism. but are democrats going to be hampered if they are still trying to assess what happened there with biden, as opposed to looking for who their new leader is, who will be on that ticket, and the midterms? >> well, the midterms come first, right? prelims before the finals. and i think that's a big part of this. uh, like i said, the polls were what they were for 15 months, and yet democrats were attacking the polls. we were attacking. we loved polls. when we were running. we were ahead all the time. ins

trump: he says he wants it. he wants to come back right now but i cannot do that. >> [indiscernible] pres. trump: they should have an immediate cease-fire. that is the other thing. it could take place immediately. a contract if you want to end the war. that will take time. i wanted to end immediately. if you have a cease-fire, it would be a real one. he does not want to do that. that is fine. i want it to end immediately. i want a cease-fire now. all he is a big shot because he has the u.s. on his side. either we are going to end it or he will fight it out. he fights it out, it is not going to look pretty. without us, he does not win. >> [indiscernible] pres. trump: it does not matter what i am considering. that was not a man who wanted to make peace. if he wants to end the bloodshed. >> [indiscernible] >> more reactions are coming into the contentious meeting between trump and zelenskyy. tammy duckworth posted ts -- her colleague from new mexico reacted thisay -- and from e use, connecticut democrat hayes relea

. >> your opinion to trump. >> did donald trump. >> no. no. >> why. >> no. >> he stood there in. >> front of everybody. >> he said. >> you. >> as your voice. >> i don't think. >> that the. >> president's goals are not what everybody wants, which is to end the war, right? end the war. >> so if you. >> don't want to end the war. >> if you. >> don't want to. >> end the war, then you're in a different position. >> you've got. >> to. >> you've got to have some type of. >> negotiated end to this. he's he's certainly pushing. >> hard for that to happen. >> at the table. >> and if that. >> table would you do. >> that without. >> i can't. >> speak over everybody. >> and if. >> and if. >> zelensky zelensky needs to be in the room. >> he absolutely. >> needs to be i. >> i. >> don't disagree with that. >> i don't. >> i don't. >> disagree with the idea that he needs to be he's. >> probably part. >> of the solution. right. so i'm not sure. >> i'm not i'm not. >> i'm not sure exactly. >> what that's. >> going to look like. >> but i'm i guess it's a good.

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 culture, we want to be helpful. 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

so unfortunately trump has gotten under trump's skin.of lost it on public television in the oval office, a quite unseemly display of anger. now we have to figure out how zelenskyy gets back into trump's good graces. i don't think it is an impossible task, because trump's relations with foreign leader blow hot and cold. one day he is in love with kim jong un, the next day he is threatening fire and fury. i think we'll probably see him repair the relationship with zelenskyy. >> john: charles kupchan from the council on foreign relations. thank you so much, charles. iowa is now the first state to remove civil rights protections for transgender people. republican governor kim reynolds signed the controversial bill into law this afternoon despite days of protest against the measure. cbs's lana zak reports on the civil rights reversal. >> reporter: the unprecedented act sparked outrage as lawmakers as lawmakers debated, hundreds of demonstrators gathered in the rotunda of the iowa state capitol to protest the law which eliminates civil rights

trump: he's got to say i want to make peace. he doesn't have to stand there and say about putin this. putin that. all negative things. he's got to say i want to make peace. i don't want to fight a war any longer. these people are diagnosis. he doesn't have the cards, just so you understand it, ok? i don't have to tell you that. go ahead. i think you know the answer to that. what? >> [inaudible] pres. trump: look, i don't trust or distrust anybody. i just want to get a deal done. if a deal happens, good. but you can't embolden somebody that does not have the cards and then all of a sudden that person says i want to keep fight. we're not going to keep fight we're going to let them go and see what happens. let them fight it out. i want anybody that's going to make peace. if he's capable of making peace, which he may or may not be, but i want somebody that's going to make peace. again, he doesn't have the cards. when we sign up, he's got all of the cards. that doesn't mean he can fight. he's got to stop the fighting, stop the deaths

it's the deal that trump kept calling a raw earth deal. trump wanted. him to strongarm him into joining the deal and signing the deal at the white house today. that was the cost of u.s. support. give us your minerals. we take, and then maybe we'll see what we can do for you. a planned joint press conference between him and president trump was abruptly canceled. in later remarks to reporters today, trump let slip the real reason he kicked zelensky out today. >> he doesn't have to stand there and say about putin, this putin, that all negative things he's got to say, i want to make peace. i don't want to fight a war any longer. >> he got upset. >> because he. >> was saying. >> negative things about donald trump's buddy mentor. something else, vladimir putin. that's what happened. >> or alternately. >> another way that today looks to me on its face is that it was a planned ambush to effectively jettison ukraine and complete the switching of sides of the us, in line with, again, donald trump and jd vance. russia first views. they like russia. they want the u

the prism trump certainly would want to avoid. so yeah, clearly there is talk of withdrawal of us troops occupying groups from western europe. but trump is wielding a degree of leverage against something economic leverage against these western european countries. for other reasons, russia though, and we've been covering on this program over the past 3 years, was paying zalinski for the rent of the pipeline usage for gas into western europe . and is supplying energy still to west and europe have windows rest, you're going to sanction the countries of western europe? well, i don't, so i wouldn't, i wouldn't bet on that of europe may eventually sanction russia that completely cut off those. the member states of european union that are still getting the guests from russia. that would be a risky move in terms of the integrity and unit, sorry to interrupt the advise that off the black market. that because it needs the energy con, supply of old united states can supply all of it. they have to they to a desperate for original energy. righ

that's not that didn't begin with trump. it didn't begin with by and it didn't begin with, hold on it. the guy with the clint had been shutting down safe board across from grabs to urban areas like el paso and pushing people out into the does that, why did they come? i mean, there's a lot of reasons you know, the united states is the most what the is the wealthiest nation in world history. it has jobs and people, and it has a demand for low skill, low pay with labor in many of these places it's, it's actually us policy which creates a hardship which drives the migration for. and i mean, we could look at, i mean, this goes back, we could look at the central american boys. we could look at economic policy. free trade policy mapped, devastated small farm is in mexico when it led to mass migration that you built into mexico city and north and. and again, the clinton administration knew this because the ministrations militarization of the border wasn't technically part of nafta. but it took place at the same time, they knew that

up, trump was the real man in that room that trump stood up for.u what leadership was. there was one real man. without getting into gender essentialism in that room, and that was zelensky. and the second thing, in addition to getting a quisling is they've been already hinting we will cut off any further military supplies. in fact, there haven't been any shipments in the last since trump became president. but it looks like they're going to they're going to do a mafia, a mafia sort of move on zelensky here. and there'll be pressure on him to step down and which he has to resist. >> yeah. >> he has to resist that. and i think, you know, julia, just to wrap it up with you, you've got this headline. russia's state media briefly enters the oval office during the zelensky meeting. >> how did they. >> get there? >> we don't know. >> but you know, that's what happens. >> when the white house controls the press pool. >> what are you hearing from your circles? how is this playing in russia. what do you think giddiness. >> giddiness. >> and also what i'm heari

the way that president trump and j.d.ce stood 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

[laughter] >> greg: trump. you know, we don't deserve trump.what did o to deserve him? i guess or four years of biden. >> we put up with four years of biden that is what we did to deserve donald trump. >> greg: it really is. [applause] so one of the things talking about art of the dealer do you think this is part of a greater negotiation that is at the end of anything? this was how he could just a force zelenskyy to take the deal that he does not want to take by basically this ritualistic humiliation at? >> well zelenskyy is not looking to be partners with anyone he wants this to be a one-sided agreement which it has been for the last four years. we have given him billions of dollars and what have we gotten in return. we have dug ourselves in such a deep hole while it now we are showing lenski and the rest of the world about the united states is not a piggy bank. this is not a charity organization. we want to get a return on our investment and if you don't like it then get out. and quite frankly he was tossed right out of the white house. their

so where is the trump piece plant? the cross talking ukraine. i'm joined by my guess, steve, jeremy and courtney. well, he has retired royal navy commodore in rome. we have thomas bobbsey. he is an author as well as i call him this for the british unheard. and the american compact magazines, and in lake jackson, we crossed to daniel mcadams. he is the executive director of the ron poll institute for peace and prosperity. hard gentleman cross lock rules and effects. that means you can jump anytime you want. and i always appreciated, daniel, because you got up early as for the program, we very much value your presence here at this early hour. and speaking of ours, you know, i, i have a different time zone than you guys. so every time i wake up in the morning, it looks like there's a difference, a piece plan. there is no peace plan. there's many rules. there is bilateral relations. nothing much about ukraine yet, daniel. well, i think it's a big problem. the deputy for administer. russia has been saying this week re up cost that we haven't seen a p

the minerals deal president trump demanded unsigned days after trump basically called him a dictator.the war rages on, three years since russia's invasion. >>> new details in the death of gene hackman and his wife, what what happened with his pacemaker and what authorities are ruling out. >>> cdc's first advisory on measles, new states with cases and rush to vaccinate children, as the disease more contagious than covid or flu spreads quickly. >>> a new setback for the pope's health as he battles double pneumonia. >>> an inside look at the devastating toll bird flu is taking on farmers, and the long road to rebuild their flocks. >>> good news, something is brewing for the next generation of distilleries. >> announcer: this is "nbc nightly news" with lester holt. >>> good evening and welcome. we start with the photo op that devolved into an uncomfortable spectacle the whole world is digesting tonight. president trump and vice president jd vance publicly unleashing their anger on ukraine's president zelenskyy. in raised voices, trump and vance dressing down the ukrainian leader, accusing

president trump has made it clear he does not want to give them.ing them is overplaying his hand. lester. >> richard engel, thank you. >>> now to details just in about the death of gene hackman and his wife. investigators say hackman's pacemaker is revealing a key clue as they rule out one theory in the case. liz kreutz from santa fe. >> reporter: tonight, new clues into the mysterious deaths of gene hackman, his wife betsy betsy arakawa and their dog. authorities say they had been likely dead for ten days before a maintenance worker found the couple dead. >> an initial interrogation was conducted of mr. hackman's pacemaker, his last event was recorded february 17, 2025. that's a very good assumption that was his last day of life. >> reporter: the sheriff also saying an initial autopsy revealed no signs of carbon monoxide poisoning. investigators have removed several items from the home. >> we're doing a time liline from e time of death, autopsy and results and working our way backwards. >> reporter: according to the search warrant, 95-year-old hac

of course, as trump and j. d volumes have taken out how to these traditional ties across the atlantic. what are your expectations going forward for your of jeffrey kennedy? do you think it really can be independent of washington? i think it can and should be, although i got an e mail just a few minutes ago by a very knowledgeable person said you're dreaming. i your, your will never be unified. i, you know, i don't think we should ever say never about the foreign policy and about what's possible. this is one of my understandings, partly from my own lifetime experience, partly from my reading of history, partly from the events of just the last few weeks. who would have thought that the united states and russia would be in a real wrapper small, which they are? well, i would have, by the way, because i kept saying during divide administration, you're making a terrible mistake. this is a complete blunder. there's no reason for this war. there is no reason for the breakdown of relations. and i think the guy, what don

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 certainly try to take advantage of, and it will make us leadership, you know, but compromise us leadership and the credibility of a man, the american foreign policy, you know, is now at stake. what about the, the europeans? i mean, we've talked about ukraine of course, but this leads to a total break between america and europe. or i think the strains are already there. i'm not sure there's going to be a break. but in, in, in the, in the short to mid term, we're now in the complete damage control involved in united

does president trump stop that from happening? it could impact the battlefield.bolically, there is also major significance to having the president of the united states attack verbally a democracy while defending somebody who is a dictator, vladimir putin, and that could be seen by adversaries around the world as a potential opening point. i've had sources raise concerns that america may not in fact be dedicated to the future of nato. in fact, the e.u.'s top diplomat said publicly, the free world needs a new leader. >> john: all right, margaret brennan in washington. thanks so much, margaret. >> maurice: now more of some of the top stories from around the world in tonight's "evening news" roundup. pope francis had a setback today in his battle with pneumonia. doctors had to give him some mechanical help with his breathing. they say he responded well, but his prognosis remains guarded. the pope, who is 88, has been in the hospital now for two weeks. >> john: the county sheriff says it appeared gene hackman had been dead nine days before his body and that of his wif

president trump ran on fixing this problem. he said during the campaign that elon musk would be the person to lead the charge. the man who has turned business after business around. he is the richest man on the planet because he succeeds at his endeavors. this is a very serious problem. it is hypocritical that my colleagues across the aisle are complaining about this. joe biden signed his name and wanted the american people to believe that he have the ability to forgive billions dollars worth a signature. the supreme court ruled he did not. that is our system of checks and balances. president biden clearly was experiencing cognitive decline. he did not even have the ability to be charged with a crime. but he signs his name and he thinks it gives a order of a trillion dollars away. redistributes taxpayer dollars. it is crazy that we cannot come together to address the greatest national security threat facing this country. now to the task at hand, medicaid fraud. if we implement enhanced identity verification and income verificat
