Abdul El-Sayed on Obama:

In 2008, I watched Barack Hussein Obama run for and win the presidency.

I remember watching his 2004 address. I remember I was doing dishes, and I just stopped. I was like, "I didn’t know politics could look like that."

It was the first time I ever saw myself in a politician at all.

Abdul El-Sayed:

I’m not even saying that you shouldn’t be able to have a corporation. Like I said, I’m a capitalist.

I’m saying your corporation shouldn’t be able to buy a politician. That shouldn’t be that crazy.

It shouldn’t be able to rig the rules so that they have a virtual monopoly on you and they can raise the rate on a medication you fundamentally need.

Abdul El-Sayed:

Judaism and the Jewish people are not the same as Israel and AIPAC. They’re not the same.

My family immigrated from Egypt. When I’m elected, I’m probably going to be the loudest critic of the Egyptian government in the whole U.S. Senate.

And I would hate if somebody were to say, "Well, you’re now accountable for what the government of Egypt did because you happen to share the same ethnicity as the people who live there," right?

And so I think we have to take great care not to allow what are righteous criticisms of the Israeli government to then cast upon Judaism or the Jewish people anywhere.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi:

Why can’t India have its own global consulting firms? Why can’t our accounting firms, our legal firms, and our financial firms become global leaders?

Today, we proudly say that Indians are leading some of the world’s top companies.

But if Indians can lead the world’s top companies, then why shouldn’t companies created by Indians lead the world?

All of this is possible.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi:

Some people still make fun of “Made in India” even today.

But friends, today you can see the brand value of “Make in India.”

Today, there is a smartphone in almost every hand. The world’s biggest phone brands are now making India their base.

Made-in-India smartphones are reaching every corner of the world.

Iran's Ghalibaf mocks Bessent.

Netanyahu on Iran:

This regime in Iran — its end is near.

It is weak, it is fighting for its life, it is staggering, and there is still a mission to complete that we are determined to carry out.

This will ultimately change the face of the Middle East and the course of history.

Netanyahu:

Israel is stronger than ever, our enemies are weaker than ever.

Together with the United States, we achieved enormous achievements in removing an existential threat from above our heads.
