| The whole thing was a scam and he had to put up with that. | ||
| He was being accused of all that stuff. | ||
| All I can say is this. | ||
| He might have broken deals with Obama and Bush, and he might have broken them with Biden. | ||
| He did, maybe. | ||
| Maybe he didn't. | ||
| I don't know what happened. | ||
| But he didn't break them with me. | ||
| He wants to make a deal. | ||
| I don't know if you can make a deal. | ||
| The problem is, I've empowered you to be a tough guy. | ||
| And I don't think you'd be a tough guy without the United States. | ||
| And your people are very brave. | ||
| But you're either going to make a deal or we're out. | ||
| And if we're out, you'll fight it out. | ||
| I don't think it's going to be pretty, but you'll fight it out. | ||
| But you don't have the cards. | ||
| But 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. | ||
| All right. | ||
| I think we've seen enough. | ||
| What do you think? | ||
| This is going to be great television. | ||
| I will say that. | ||
| All right. | ||
| We'll see what we can do about putting that together. | ||

Thank you. | |
| Guys, let's go. | ||

|
Guys, come on, let's go. | |
| We'll see. | ||
| I don't know. | ||

|
Please. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. | |
| Senator Graham, he's here! | ||
| He's coming, he's coming. | ||
| He's coming. | ||
| Guys, guys, right now, you got to move. | ||
| Sorry, sorry. | ||
| I'm not good finding you guys. | ||
| Is this better? | ||
| Yes, sir. | ||
| For you and for us. | ||
| So, what do I think? | ||
| Complete, utter disaster. | ||
| I've been to Ukraine eight or nine times since the war started. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I understand the consequences of Putin's actions against Ukraine. | |
| I appreciate what the Ukrainian people have done. | ||
| They fought like tigers. | ||
| At the end of the day, I was hoping that this minerals deal, which would be transformative in the relationship, would go over well. | ||

I talked to Zelensky this morning. | |
| Don't take the bait. | ||
| 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 president. | ||
| I was very proud of JD Vance 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 could ever do business with Zelensky again. | ||
| I think most Americans saw a guy that they would not want to go in business with. | ||
| The way he handled the meeting, the way he confronted the president was just over the top. | ||
| So I think the relationship between Ukraine and America is important, vitally important. | ||
| But can Zelensky do a deal with the United States after what I saw? | ||
| What did he say to you about his interactions and whether he thinks he was shocked? | ||
| He was very upbeat. | ||
| I told Zelensky, we'll talk about security guarantees. | ||
| We'll talk about ceasefires and how the war ends. | ||
| This is a process. | ||
| You have a new relationship with America. | ||
| A $500 billion, half a trillion dollar deal that President Trump is proud of, that gives us an interest worth defending. | ||
| Let's talk about the positive, but he was terrible at Munich, Zelensky, and I think he has made it almost impossible to sell to the American people that he's a good investment. | ||
|

|
So he is a good investment. | |
| Senator Graham. | ||
| Senator Lander. | ||
| Senator Eddie. | ||
| Senator, one out of time. | ||
| One out of time. | ||

|
Senator Graham, thank you. | |
| Do you think President Zelensky 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. | ||
| Do you have anything to do with the power? | ||
| Ukrainian President Zelensky sent this message after the Oval Office meeting. | ||
| 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. | ||
| Meanwhile, members of Congress are reacting to the exchange between President Trump and Zelensky. | ||
| Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer posted, Trump and Vance are doing Putin's dirty work. | ||
| Senate Democrats will never stop fighting for freedom and democracy. | ||
| Representative Diana Harshbarger says the act displayed by Zelensky in the Oval Office was nothing short of a massive show of disrespect for the Trump administration and the American people. | ||
| Despite this, President Trump and Vice President Vance are holding the line and trying to end this conflict peacefully. | ||
| God bless them both. | ||
| And notice politics reporter Reese Gorman posted this statement from Congressman Don Bacon. | ||
| A bad day for America's foreign policy. | ||
| Ukraine wants independence, free markets, and rule of law. | ||
| It wants to be part of the West. | ||
| Russia hates us and our Western values. | ||
| We should be clear that we stand for freedom. | ||
