Tucker Carlson to WSJ:

I don’t hate Trump. I hate this war and the direction that the U.S. government is taking.

Can anyone in this room think of something they would do better?

We will never entrust that party with responsibility for Germany.

German Chancellor Merz:

Our democratic order is being attacked systematically and from many sides.

German Chancellor Merz:

For too long, hardworking people in our country have felt that their efforts are no longer recognized, and that must change.
