can you clarify? his answer was written on the card and he repeated it verbatim. harris: the fact of the matter is i was expressing the moral outrage i felt toward the way putin is dealing and the actions of this man. harris: it s not first time we ve seen the president hold these kinds of cue cards with prepared notes for faces and names of reporters. power panel jason meister former trump advisory board member. kevin walling former campaign surrogate. kevin, you are on the defensive as the president of the united states if several days later you need a cheat sheet and actually it is not even what you had said previously. it is the white house s messaging. the president reaffirmed what he said on saturday in warsaw how anyone could see president putin remaining in power is beyond him. i think he expressed the will of the american people with regards to that. harris: do you think they
what if? lieutenant general keith kellogg, fox news contributor, co-chairman of the center for american security and former national security advisor to vice president pence and president trump. great to have you on the program today. general, first of all does it matter not so much what the president said first or what he said second, but like the third, fourth, fifth generation of it? thanks, harris. what he said is foolish. somebody ought to grab him in the oval office and say you need to understand, mr. president, there is a war going on. innocent people are dying. cities are being ravaged and destroys and words matter. you said that on the campaign trail and you have to understand when you make comments like that, you are not caring when you said that you don t care about what putin thinks. what everybody has to understand and it s very important when it comes to national security. always look through your opponent s eyes and lens. when you say things what kind
operation warp speed. i talk about this and others have talked about it. that s what we need right now with our oil and gas companies. we need something that will get them as you say subsidies, whatever it takes to get them on the same page with the support of the white house. it doesn t appear we ll get that. right. harris: fox business anchor. finish your words. i was going to say we have the supplies here. under president trump we were pumping 13 million barrels of oil a day. we have it here. we need to incentivize exploration for new wells and let companies produce it. why shouldn t we profit off this crisis we re seeing overseas when it comes to reducing europe s dependence on russia for energy? harris: a great question we need to ask the white house that. maybe they ll put that on the president s cheat sheet list to answer. i m not being facetious unfortunately. thank you for being in focus. florida governor ron desantis
felt the way putin is dealing and the actions of this man. just brutality. i want to make it clear i wasn t then or now articulating a policy change. i was expressing the moral outrage i feel and make no apologies for it. harris: the biden gaffe this time could have major global consequences. this is not a game. this is real history involving two nations that between them have around 11,000 nuclear weapons and involving a dictator who has to right now feel deeply paranoid. he has always assumed that the united states wanted to destroy the russian system. now he has had biden sort of blurt it out at least as seen by putin and i think that this is extraordinarily dangerous. harris: wow. it is clear the white house and president have not been on the same page. so they handed him one. a page, that is. we managed to get a glimpse of
attention they crave doesn t de-escalate or avoid conflict, but the opposite. apparently biden also craves a status boost, but this is also the opposite. you also wrote this. for those who still don t understand, putin stays in power by keeping the cash flowing and his oligarchs happy. to do this, he needs to be irreplaceable, the big boss, no better way than one-on-one talks with the u.s. president. so gary, i m assuming you don t agree with the notion of the president taking this phone call with putin. yeah, first of all, happy new year. i m not sure it s a happy new year for our friends in ukraine and of course not for millions of my com patriots in russia. it s president biden and the white house, they owe us an explanation about the summit in june and another phone call. so we heard it in june, biden made demands. in phone call, the first phone call, he made an ultimatum. now, why was the third call
