JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon on Iran:

If they were going to get nuclear weapons, that would have been probably the largest disaster in mankind ever.

And maybe the end of mankind as we know it.

Putin:

I am sure our elections will have open and free competition.

Adhering to these democratic institutions is a guarantee for the strength of our nation.

Putin:

Russian people know that our "United Russia" party politicians have never made false or empty promises.

Putin:

A society can only be free if it's based on the free expression of tradition and culture.

A person cannot be free if his people are not free within its country.

Putin:

Russia can only be a strong and independent country, or there will be no Russia.

There are only two paths.

Putin:

They try to remove us as a global power that stands against evil.

They have always failed. They will fail always.

Putin to the politicians of his party:

You need to spend less time in offices and more time in the field, talking to the people, meeting with folks, and understanding them.

Russia may import fuel and tighten diesel export restrictions to stabilize the domestic market, according to Deputy PM Alexander Novak.

German AfD politician Maximilian Krah:

We've become accustomed to politicians who never really speak plainly, who never become specific, and who never say anything that might upset anyone.

That's why I openly admit it: I sometimes step on people's toes. I exaggerate, because I believe exaggeration is a way of making the core message—the essential point—stand out so that people actually discuss it.

Sometimes you have to be willing to take a risk.

German AfD politician Maximilian Krah on real men:

A real man is someone who—something I should probably do more myself—works out regularly.

He's someone who takes responsibility, who actually enjoys a fight from time to time, who still has a bit of testosterone, which has become rather rare in Germany.

He's someone who isn't afraid to stand out, who is willing to get a bloody nose, metaphorically speaking.

Someone who doesn't constantly adapt, apologize, or hold himself back. Maybe he's a little too loud—but especially for an 18-, 19-, or 20-year-old, he has the courage to stand by his passions and his ambitions.

He's happy to say, "I'd like a big car with an eight-cylinder engine that roars as I drive it down the Autobahn without feeling guilty about climate change."

He'd rather eat a big steak cooked over an open fire than force himself to swallow a soy burger.

Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich:

Trump did what no American president before him had done.

He went with us into this war against Iran despite having only about 40% support among his own public.

Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich:

Trump is the leader of a country with 380 million citizens, and he has to look after them as well.

Gas prices doubled—from about $2.50 a gallon to $5—and he also has midterm elections.

I also have an interest in seeing him win those midterm elections, so that he remains strong and continues standing alongside the State of Israel.

Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich:

I'm putting an end to the idea of a Palestinian state by strengthening our presence—with the approval of the Americans, the Prime Minister, and Cabinet decisions.

We've established 103 communities, 160 farms, legalized about one million dunams of land, all with legal authority.

That's what drives people crazy—not the other things.

I'm investing billions, building roads, advancing land registration, and changing the reality on the ground.

Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich:

Contrary to the way some try to portray me—as some kind of heartless person who doesn't care about the hostages—I actually believe that because of me, all the hostages are here.

Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich:

Trump removed 100% of the economic pressure on Americans, while only about 20% of the economic pressure on Iran was eased.

Today, we are only a decision by the political leadership away. Within three or four hours, the Israeli Air Force can operate deep inside Iran.

That's something that has never existed before. It creates a very significant level of deterrence.

As long as we make sure Iran doesn't rebuild its capabilities, that's good—but we must not let it confuse us.

We also must not accept a reality of repeated rounds of fighting with Iran. That's not why we came here.

And even more than that, I refuse to accept a reality where we bury our heads in the sand, enjoy an artificial calm, and then wake up ten years from now facing a nuclear Iran with 20,000 missiles aimed at us.

Netanyahu on Türkiye:

Hardly a day goes by without Erdogan calling for the destruction of the State of Israel.

We take these words very seriously, because if there is one thing we have learned from the history of our people, it is that when someone says they intend to destroy you, you should take them seriously.

We take these statements seriously, and we will also bring them to the attention of our American friends. We are not ignoring them.

Bernie Sanders:

Most of us would like a roof over our heads.

While Jeff Bezos can own 14 mansions around the world and other multi-billionaires can buy their own islands, some 800,000 Americans are homeless.

And 20 million households are spending 50% or more of their limited incomes on housing.

Bernie Sanders:

When millions of workers in Texas and Vermont, throughout this country, are living on starvation wages, we're going to raise that minimum wage to a living wage—at least 20 bucks an hour.

Bernie Sanders:

People are living with extraordinary stress. And you know what stress does? Stress kills.

When every day you have to struggle to keep your family going, it takes a toll on your body and it takes a toll on you mentally.

And the reality is that working-class families, lower-income people live shorter lives than they should—six years.

They die six years earlier than the wealthy. You understand what I'm saying here?

In other words, being working class in America is a death sentence. People are struggling so hard just to stay alive that their bodies and their minds are being destroyed.
