00:00Let's just talk about Zelensky's fiery meeting at the White House.

00:04I can't believe it was a week ago.

00:06It feels like a lot's happened since then.

00:08That will obviously go down in the history books.

00:11Do you believe this relationship can actually be healed?

00:16Well, I want to say a moment on what you said about that meeting going down in the history books.

00:21I think it's going to go down in the history books of a colossal failure of diplomacy.

00:27You know, everything that one should not do is what Zelensky did.

00:31And just to review for the audience, you know, what happened in that meeting is that you see President Zelensky

00:36come into the United States White House and meeting with the President of the United States,

00:40the Vice President and the administration, and showing a complete lack of respect for the President of the United States,

00:47who, you know, our country has given Ukraine billions of dollars of support and really propped them up in this war.

00:54And so there was just a complete lack of diplomacy, a complete lack of protocol displayed.

01:00And again, Zelensky did everything wrong, it seems like, that he could have possibly done.
