Marco Rubio on Hegseth:

Pete Hegseth has done a great job.

He is very smart and brings professionalism.

Marco Rubio:

Impeaching Pete Hegseth is unfair. Pete's done a good job.

Marco Rubio:

Today it's Netanyahu, tomorrow it will be an American.

It's not about the individuals, it's about the ICC.

Marco Rubio:

Like in Ukraine, they haven't had elections in a long time either because they're in the middle of a war, right?

Marco Rubio on Israel:

Israel is now rich enough to become a sales country.

They can buy weapons from us, but we no longer have to provide the financing.

Marco Rubio on Israel:

On the question of financing, I think Israel has clearly graduated beyond that at this point.

Trump:

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang just admitted to an affair with a woman suspected of spying for China.

Nvidia has launched an investigation, but the espionage allegations remain unproven.

Trump told Reuters following talks with Qatar’s leader that Qatar would prefer a peaceful resolution to the conflict with Iran, but Washington remains prepared to carry out military strikes if necessary.

Trump added that Saudi Arabia also favors a diplomatic solution to the conflict.

House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries:

It is fair to say that Stephen Miller has blood on his hands when we saw taxpayer dollars being used to brutalize and kill American citizens.

Trump:

I am proud to announce that David MacNeil, the GREAT American entrepreneur and founder of WeatherTech, will be the Special Envoy for Manufacturing!

David has built an incredible American company that makes outstanding products, RIGHT HERE IN THE U.S.A.

House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries:

With respect to the situation with Pete Hegseth, the so-called Secretary of Defense, it's clear as day. He's been a failure and a disaster for the American people.

He shredded the law and the Constitution with impunity, and there is no circumstance that justifies Pete Hegseth continuing to hold this position.

House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries:

We're going to end the war in Iran one way or the other.

House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries:

Stephen Miller is a stone-cold racist. His track record speaks for itself, and I've got zero interest in working with that kind of individual.

House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries:

There's zero evidence that Representative Omar committed immigration fraud. This remains a right-wing conspiracy.

And I'm going to continue to stand behind Representative Omar as she works to actually fight on the issues that Democrats have talked about addressing decisively, particularly as it relates to our affordability agenda and our accountability agenda.

House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries:

Iran is stronger now than they were before Operation Epic Failure led by Pete Hegseth began.

Trump:

Qatar, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait, and others, would prefer the status quo, in other words, a continuation of the Greatest Naval Blockade in History, and the new Operation Iron Gate — Therefore, Land and Sea.

Should there be any change with respect to developments in the Middle East, the United States of America is “locked and loaded” and ready to go. At this point, however, that seems to be quite unlikely.

Israel, and the entire Middle East, are protected from Iranian danger and threats. We are seeing positive momentum toward an end to this Conflict, and will ensure that America’s interests are at all times protected.

At the conclusion of this Military Engagement, the American People, and the World, will be far safer and more secure.

Rep. Thomas Massie:

We're not indicting Hegseth for being bad at his job. In fact, he was very effective at killing schoolchildren in Iran. He was very effective at extrajudicial killings.

There's no argument in these impeachment articles that he's ineffective. The argument here is that he's broken laws and he's violated the Constitution.

Rep. Thomas Massie:

Now, there's something called the fog of war. Maybe you're in a battle and you don't have time to pay a lot of attention.

There's no fog of war on the first day. You've had months to identify these targets and pick them.

Yet they picked a school building on a school day with school kids in it, and then struck it again, and then struck it again.

Rep. Thomas Massie:

The White House legal counsel has tried to go around these things.

I'm sure they've advised the president and the vice president and even the secretary of defense not to use the word "war."

You see their tortured use of the English language in the early days of this. They tried not to call it a war.

But ultimately, the president calls it a war every day. He's tired of the semantics.
