=== He's Coming! (03:40) ===

[00:00:00]  But you're not acting at all thankful.
[00:00:02]  And that's not a nice thing.
[00:00:04]  I'll be honest, that's not a nice thing.
[00:00:06]  All right, I think we've seen enough.
[00:00:08]  What do you think?
[00:00:11]  This is going to be great television, I will say that.
[00:00:15]  All right.
[00:00:16]  We'll see what we can do about putting that together.
[00:00:18]  Thank you.
[00:00:20]  Guys, let's go.
[00:00:25]  We'll see.
[00:00:27]  All right, guys, guys, come on, please.
[00:00:30]  Hey, Dr. Noss, please.
[00:00:31]  Move, move, move.
[00:00:34]  Guys, come on, let's move, please.
[00:00:37]  Please.
[00:00:42]  Thank you.
[00:00:43]  Yes.
[00:00:46]  Take out the patient.
[00:00:47]  Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on.
[00:00:50]  He's coming. He's coming. He's coming.
[00:00:54]  Guys. Guys, right now, you've got to move.
[00:00:57]  It's all right. It's all right. It's all right.
[00:00:59]  Keep the safe.
[00:01:01]  Go ahead. Go ahead. Go back.
[00:01:04]  Thank you.
[00:01:11]  He's coming. He's coming. He's coming. He's coming. He's coming. He's coming.
[00:01:13]  Yeah.
[00:01:13]  Is this better?
[00:01:17]  So, what do I think?
[00:01:20]  Complete, utter disaster.
[00:01:22]  I've been to Ukraine eight or nine times since the war started.
[00:01:27]  I understand the consequences of Putin's actions against Ukraine.
[00:01:32]  I appreciate what the Ukrainian people have done.
[00:01:35]  They fought like tigers.
[00:01:37]  At the end of the day, I was hoping that this minerals deal, which would be transformative in the relationship, would go over well.
[00:01:46]  I talked to Zelensky this morning.
[00:01:48]  Don't take the bait.
[00:01:50]  President Trump was in a very good mood last night.
[00:01:53]  Somebody asked me, Am I embarrassed about Trump?
[00:01:56]  I have never been more proud of the president.
[00:01:58]  I was very proud of JD Vance standing up for our country.
[00:02:03]  We want to be helpful.
[00:02:05]  What I saw in the Oval Office was disrespectful, and I don't know if we can ever do business with Zelensky again.
[00:02:14]  I think most Americans saw a guy that they would not want to go in business with.
[00:02:19]  The way he handled the meeting, the way he confronted the president was just over the top.
[00:02:25]  So I think the relationship between Ukraine and America is important, vitally important.
[00:02:33]  But can Zelensky do a deal with the United States after what I saw?
[00:02:39]  What did he say to you about his interactions and whether he thinks he was shocked.
[00:02:50]  He was very upbeat.
[00:02:52]  I told Zelensky, we'll talk about security guarantees.
[00:02:56]  We'll talk about ceasefires and how the war ends.
[00:02:59]  This is a process.
[00:03:00]  You have a new relationship with America.
[00:03:03]  A $500 billion, half a trillion dollar deal that President Trump is proud of, that gives us an interest worth defending.
[00:03:11]  Let's talk about the positive.
[00:03:14]  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.
[00:03:27]  That's what he is.
[00:03:29]  Senator Graham.
[00:03:34]  One out of touch.
[00:03:35]  Senator Graham, thank you.
[00:03:37]  Do you think President Zelensky needs to resign to resume these peace talks?
