It was one of the saddest things I've seen since I've been in this job. And just to think right now where we are, they're going into this negotiation in Saudi Arabia. I hope it goes well. Nobody wants this to end as much as the Ukrainian people. But, Rachel, this has to end in a way where Ukraine has dignity and has their territory back in a way where they're stronger.

And what Donald Trump has done, I mean, he has really set up these negotiations in a way that not only make us look weak, but they put Ukraine in a really horrible position.

Well, I could tell you what we shouldn't have done. Right at the beginning here of this negotiation, Donald Trump decides to give up Ukrainian territory, say that's not an option. They're not going to get everything back. And to say they'll never be a member of NATO, that's not the way you go into a negotiation. And Secretary Rubio said something similar here on his way to Saudi Arabia.

You always want to negotiate from a position of strength. They're not doing that. You're right. They have not asked anything of the Russians. And Putin is a criminal. He respects, if anything, he respects strength. But keep in mind, Rachel, he wants to undermine Western civilization. He wants to undermine our country, our democracy. He wants to take back territory. He's talked about that.

He wants Ukraine back. Then he's going to go to the Baltics. He's going to go to Poland. And then we have to come to their defense. What I'm trying to do here is making the American people aware that what this administration is is doing right now. They are making serious mistakes. We've got to go into a negotiation strong.

Donald Trump thinks, you know, he looks, you know, strong, but he's really being a bully. And he's, at least for the Russians, he's making us look weak.

Well, Rachel, when I was 22 years old, before getting sworn into the Navy or as I was getting sworn in to the United States Navy, I swore an oath to our Constitution to protect and defend the Constitution. I have lived that oath my entire life. I flew in combat in the first Gulf War. I served in the United States Navy for 25 years. I spent 15 years at NASA risking my life flying the space shuttle.

And The only oath I can think of that maybe Elon has sworn is an oath to his own checking account, to his pocketbook, an oath maybe to ruining the lives of veterans. I had veterans in my office last week who, after... Really good performance reports found out that Elon Musk fired them for poor performance. He has ruined these people's lives.

They were serving our country again in very valuable roles, and they did not deserve to get fired by an email from an unelected billionaire. So I think Elon needs to go back to making rockets. You know, that that's what he should focus on. He shouldn't be focused on this slash and burn of the federal government. And by the way, Rachel, he's doing it for one reason.

He's doing this so they create a little space. So the big giant tax cuts that they're going to give for millionaires and billionaires do not look as bad, does not add as much to the debt and deficit. And the way he's going to do it is he's firing people. And then on top of that, he's going to cut health care for kids.
