WELKER: Earlier this year you said President Trump should be impeached. What do you see as his impeachable offenses? EL-SAYED: Like, which one? There are many. Making sure that every president understands who comes after Trump that there is a rule of law I think that is absolutely critical
El-Sayed explains his 2012 criticisms of Obama: "We stand on the shoulders of giants. I am so grateful to have been a young man in my 20s with Barack Hussein Obama as president. I never would have seen myself running for office."
Susan Collins votes with Trump 96% of the time and Mainers are hurting because of it. We know that Maine can't afford 6 more years of Trump's rubber stamp in the Senate. I will stand up for Mainers every day of the week and I'll never bend a knee to Donald Trump or his billionaire buddies.

KARL: You've been a strong supporter of Ukraine & voted for sanctions on Russia. What do you make of Trump's plan to buy Russian diesel? EMMER: Well, it's another example of our president thinking out of the box. He's listening to the American people. They're hurting. He's the president of peace.

Zelenskyy: "Freedom, independence, Ukraine -- we can't lose it. And the truth is on our side."
Zelenskyy: "Prices are rising because of the war in the Middle East, the blocking of Hormuz. Everyone understands it. If we want to speak with people fairly, if we want to be clear, if we want to speak with our nations openly, people have to hear reality. Don't play games with people."
Bessent: "As the president has said, he doesn't expect kinetic engagement until at least after the midterms"
Zelenskyy: "If President Trump really wants to have elections, tell Putin give us two months, 60 days of total ceasefire -- 60 days -- and we will organize elections. Of course, we will be ready for any choice of our people."
KARL: JD Vance called your views 'left wing radicalism dressed in the skin suit of our religion' and said they 'aren't Christianity.' ADAM HAMILTON: I thought it was a sad statement that the VP would come here and attack the faith of the pastor of the largest church in the state of Kansas

Bessent on Trump's deal with Putin: "Look, President Trump came into office to work for the American people, and this is good for the American people -- bringing these diesel prices down"
