This is going to be great television, I will say that.
► 00:00:05
We'll see what we can do about police.
► 00:00:10
Guys, let's go.
► 00:00:11
Guys, come on, let's go.
► 00:00:15
We'll see.
► 00:00:16
I don't know.
► 00:00:17
All right, guys.
► 00:00:18
Guys, come on.
► 00:00:19
Please.
► 00:00:20
Guys, come on.
► 00:00:25
Let's move, please.
► 00:00:26
Please.
► 00:00:32
Thank you.

South Carolina Republican Senator Lindsey Graham attended the Oval Office meeting and expressed disappointment at the leader's inability to work towards ending the Russia-Ukraine war.
► 00:01:14
Is this better?
► 00:01:18
So, what I think is complete, utter disaster.
► 00:01:23
I've been to Ukraine eight or nine times since the war started.
► 00:01:28
I understand the consequences of Putin's actions against Ukraine.
► 00:01:33
I appreciate what the Ukrainian people have done.
► 00:01:35
They fought like tigers.
► 00:01:38
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?
► 00:01:57
I have never been more proud of the president.
► 00:01:59
I was very proud of JD Vance standing up for our country.
► 00:02:04
We want to be helpful.
► 00:02:06
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.
► 00:02:26
So I think the relationship between Ukraine and America is important, vitally important.
► 00:02:34
But can Zelensky do a deal with the United States after what I saw?
► 00:02:39
I don't know.
► 00:02:43
You just had lunch with President Trump, 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.
► 00:03:01
You have a new relationship with America.
► 00:03:04
A $500 billion, half a trillion dollar deal that President Trump is proud of, that gives us an interest worth defending.
► 00:03:12
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.
Needs Resign Or Change
00:00:28
► 00:03:25
So he is a good investor.
► 00:03:28
That's what he did.
► 00:03:29
Senator Graham.
► 00:03:30
Senator Graham.
► 00:03:33
Senator Grace.
► 00:03:34
One out of time.
► 00:03:36
Senator Graham, thank you.
► 00:03:38
Do you think President Zelensky needs to resign to resume these peace talks?
► 00:03:41
He either needs to resign and send somebody over that we can do business with, or he needs to change.
