Moulton: You said, "we will give them no quarter, no mercy." That is a war crime under the Geneva Conventions. You understand that's murder. Do you stand by that statement?

Hegseth: The Department of War fights to win…

Moulton: You called for Democratic members of Congress to be tried for sedition for reminding our troops to follow the law. But when you tell them to commit a war crime, you stand by yourself.

Rep. Carbajal to Hegseth:

We have something in common. I’m also a fan of Pulp Fiction.

And no, the movie is not an accurate portrayal of the Bible. You know what I’m talking about.

Khanna: How much did it cost American taxpayers, in terms of the strike on the Iranian school where kids were killed, in terms of the missiles we used?

Hegseth: That unfortunate situation remains under investigation. I wouldn’t tie a cost to that.

Q: Why did you fire General George?

Hegseth: We needed new leadership.

Pete Hegseth on Iran:

What they are doing right now is effectively piracy. It’s terrorism. It’s threatening international shipping.

Pete Hegseth and Rep. Giménez agree that the U.S. has spent $300 billion to help Ukraine.

Even Trump’s number is usually around the $150 billion mark.

Zelensky:

If JD Vance is proud that he’s not helping us, it means that he is helping Russians, and I’m not sure that it’s strengthening the United States.

Russia is the enemy. They will always be enemies with the United States.

Zelensky:

Russia is not in a strong position—they are not winning.

We are in the best position during the last 9–10 months, I mean on the battlefield, but in any way, it is better to stop the war.

Zelensky:

We’ve got messages from partners that because of this challenge in the Middle East, maybe not to attack some energy infrastructure in Russia. And of course I said no—we will respond.

Let’s make an energy ceasefire, but nobody proposed us an energy ceasefire. We are open for this, but if Russia will attack us, we will respond in any way.

Zelensky:

We sent support to several countries who asked us, and not only in the Middle East.

Some institutions in the United States also asked us to support, and of course we are partners, and we decided to do it, including helping American bases.

So I think that we helped the United States. If the United States thinks that they didn’t ask us—okay.

Trump:

I asked Netanyahu to act more cautiously in Lebanon and avoid destroying buildings, as it harms Israel’s image.

I love Lebanon and its leadership, but the problem is Hezbollah.

Zelensky:

Our union between the United States and Ukraine is the quickest way to make the strongest forces in the world.

Meanwhile, Netanyahu just shared Israeli airstrikes in Lebanon.

Kremlin:

Putin held a phone call with Trump that lasted more than 1.5 hours.

Putin told Trump he is ready to declare a ceasefire during the Victory Day period, and Trump supported it.

Kremlin:

Putin told Trump that he foresees extremely damaging consequences if the United States and Israel resort to military actions again in the Middle East.

Kremlin:

Trump told Putin that a deal to resolve the conflict in Ukraine is already close.

Zelensky:

Russians are absolutely crazy to attack nuclear stations.

Kremlin:

Putin and Trump said goodbye warmly at the end of the phone call.

Kremlin:

Trump and Putin expressed similar assessments of the behavior of the government led by Volodymyr Zelensky, which they said is prolonging the conflict.
