NEIL CAVUTO (HOST): Ukrainian president Zelensky with Joe Biden in that audience, in the United Nations here, making it clear that he needs more help. A lot of people saying he was responding to a zinger that Donald Trump launched his way, only yesterday. Take a look at this.

[CLIP BEGINS]

DONALD TRUMP: Now, I see Zelensky is here. I think Zelensky's the greatest salesman in history. Every time he comes into the country he walks away with $60 billion, billion! 

[CLIP ENDS] 

NEIL CAVUTO (HOST): Alright, I apologize that was Monday night, the president was saying that, the former president. General Jack Keane, the US four star general, Fox News senior strategic analyst, much more than that, Institute for the Study of War chairman, former Vice-Chief of Staff for the Army. The general is the real deal, so it's a real pleasure to have you, General.

What did you make of what Donald Trump had said that he wanted to end this war quickly, that he says that Zelensky is a great salesman? We keep giving him money and this keeps dragging on, what do you think?

GEN. JACK KEANE (GUEST): Neil, I don't make any comments on campaign rhetoric, either Harris or Trump. I don't want to influence voters. I mean, I made that clear to everybody, so I'm going to pass on that question.
