This is breaking in the last minute from I just want to get Jackie Heinrich. She has Senator Lindsey Graham just had lunch in the Oval Office. Graham, of course, is a big Ukraine supporter. Speaking from the White House, Graham tells Fox he is devastated. My question is whether Zelensky is redeemable in the eyes of the American people from what everyone saw. Nobody, including me.
Nobody, including me, would want him as our business partner. Zelensky is going to have to fundamentally change or go. Zelensky is going to be on your network tonight. If I were him, I would apologize to the president and the American people. So that is Lindsey Graham, one of the most pro-Ukraine Republicans, saying Zelensky has to make big changes or leave.

And that's what we speculated an hour ago. Maybe Zelensky himself is the price to reopen negotiations between our countries.

So we have a suggestion in our show chat that I think is amusing enough to read. So Lindsey Graham says Zelensky has to fundamentally change. What if he came out tonight on Fox and did every network delivered an apology wearing a suit and tie?

I don't get as upset about it as I know Tucker Carlson complains about it a lot.

It doesn't bother me, but it does bother a lot of people. It's like he's supposed to be this wartime leader. I don't get worked up about it. I'm sure maybe it's very meaningful to people in Ukraine. Maybe they like it. I don't get super irate.

Yes, 292, I believe.

Go ahead, Blake. Take us to break. Again, I've said I don't dislike Zelensky as much as a lot of people on our side do. I think he was dealt a very rough hand, and he could have fled his country when they were attacked. He could have set up a government in exile. He could have gone full foreign oligarch, and he didn't. But he stepped in it today, and we are seeing it.

And there's a lot of other things going on in the world, by the way. I'm seeing breaking news now. Pope Francis is on a breathing machine. We'll see if anything happens there. A lot is going on. But right now, all of the eyes are on the Ukraine deal, which fell into a shambles on live TV. There is no deal currently. It was not signed. But... Sounds like Zelensky hasn't left the country yet.

We may see him try to do a whirlwind apology tour within the next matter of hours. What do you think we're going to see, Andrew? Do you think there's any hope for him?

Yeah, I think with Trump, he cares about making deals. That's very much how he perceives a lot of his success as president. He cares about making deals, and he cares about being seen as the dominant player in any deal that happens. He does not want to be seen as the guy who made concessions. He wants to be seen as the one who was strong that other people came supplicating themselves to.
