| 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 it together. | ||

Thank you. | |
| Guys, let's go. | ||
| Guys, come on, let's go. | ||
| We'll see. | ||

All right, guys. | |

Welcome to this. | |
| Hey. | ||
| Come on. | ||
| Let's go. | ||
| Guys, come on. | ||
| Let's move. | ||
| Please. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Senator Graham! | ||
| Senator, the SACA is here! | ||
| He's coming, he's coming. | ||
| He's coming, he's coming. | ||
| Guys, guys, right now, you've got to move. | ||
| Sir, sir. | ||
| Keep the safe. | ||
| Come on, come on. | ||
| Go back. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| He's coming. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Is this better? | ||
| So, what I think is complete, utter disaster. | ||
| I've been to Ukraine eight or nine times since the war started. | ||
| 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 can 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? | ||
| don't know. | ||
| What did he say to you about his interactions and whether he think 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. | ||
|
unidentified
|
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. | ||
|

|
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 agree? | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| And more reactions are coming into the contentious Oval Office meeting between President Trump and Zelensky. | ||
| Illinois Democratic Senator and Foreign Relations Committee member Tammy Duckworth posted this: attacking our Democratic partner in service of an autocratic dictator, Trump, is a national disgrace. | ||
| Her colleague from New Mexico, Democrat Ben Ray Luhan, reacted this way: Shameful, embarrassing, and dangerous. | ||
| Trump and Vance are doing Putin's bidding right before our eyes. | ||
| And from the House, Connecticut Democrat Johanna Hayes released a lengthy statement that reads in part: Today's Oval Office meeting was deeply troubling. | ||
| The United States must defend democracy over authoritarianism, and it is indefensible to side with Putin over our steadfast allies in Ukraine. | ||
| Tuesday night, watch C-SPAN's live coverage of President Trump's address to Congress, the first address of his second term, and less than two months since taking office. | ||
| C-SPAN's live coverage begins at 8 p.m. Eastern with a preview of the evening from Capitol Hill, followed by the President's speech, which begins at 9 p.m. Eastern. | ||
| And then watch the Democratic response after the President's speech. | ||
| We'll also take your calls and get your reaction on social media. | ||
| Over on C-SPAN 2, you can also watch a simulcast of the evening's coverage, followed by a reaction from lawmakers live from Capitol Hill. |
