If Putin gets the chance with that deal to, you know, rearm… rebuild his economy and gain territory, by the way, that's what he wanted.
That plan, that's Putin's plan. That is a very good deal for Russia. It is a horrible deal for Ukraine.
I'm not going to be intimidated. You know, you just heard Jason Crow. He's not going to be intimidated either.
The message he sent a couple days ago was, he declared that loyalty to the Constitution is now punishable by death.
What’s most telling is that the President considers it punishable by death for us to restate the law.
He has talked about sending troops into more U.S. cities, he's talked about invoking the Insurrection Act.
I think it's important to say that there is nothing more American than standing up for the Constitution, that's what we were doing. President didn't like it, so now he calls for us to be hanged.
The off ramp is: Let’s get in a room. Let’s get the president actually in a room. Let’s get him to focus on this for more than an hour.
They need to get in the room and stay in the room until we can hash this out.
This is more important than any single person. This is about our democracy at this point.
Regime change hasn't ever really worked out well for us as a nation where we have supported that.
We should be able to wrap this up this week, if they will sit down and have a negotiation with us.
They had a very hard time explaining to us ... the legal rationale for doing this and the constitutionality of doing it.
The president has spent one hour negotiating this issue with leadership in Congress.
This is about our democracy at this point, and those admirals and generals, they need to speak truth to power.
I would like to – we should – we could – we should be able to wrap this up this week if they will sit down and have a negotiation with us.
Well, I hope not. Regime change hasn't ever really worked out well for us as a nation where we have supported that, whether it was in Vietnam, Cuba, Iraq, Afghanistan.
We currently do not have representation in the U.S. House of Representatives, and that is wrong.
I immediately thought back to the day in 2011 when I got that phone call. And I know Erika, his wife, got a similar call.
