Joe Biden

If there's an American citizen being held overseas, we are going to do everything in our power – using diplomacy, using influence, using leverage – to be able to get those people home safely to their families.

We also remember all those who are still being held and renew our commitment to work for their release as well.

I don’t trust Hamas to do anything right. I only trust Hamas to respond to pressure.

It’s only a start, but so far it’s gone well.

This deal needs to be implemented.

The president said he worked on it intensively for weeks

We are now very close, very close. You could bring some of these hostages home very soon.

The administration has said that there are about 10 unaccounted for Americans since Hamas' attack against Israel on October 7th.

I think that the next step is a ceasefire. And I think that that would go a long way with voters.

It's absolutely essential that we call it for what it is, a genocide, and also say that it doesn't start on October 7th. It started in 1948 with the creation of the settler colonial state of Israel.

I will not vote for Joe Biden. Not this time.

I acknowledge there’s a disconnect between the numbers and how people feel about their place in the world right now. We still have work to do.

I'm doing everything in my power to get you out.

Look, I have been deeply involved in moving on the hostage negotiation.

You maintain an agreement that there is a One China Policy, and that I am not going to change that.

It's called Bidenomics. The plan, it's working. It's not an accident. It's my economic plan of action. It's Bidenomics. That's the American dream. That's Bidenomics.

I acknowledged the disconnect between the numbers, and how people feel about their place in the world right now. We can deal with the second part.

It's like Cadillac we have over there, they called the beast.

Well, look, he is. I mean, he is a dictator in the sense that he is a guy who runs the country that is a communist county, that is based on a form of government that is totally different than ours.

I still believe Xi Jinping is a dictator.

It's not like they're rushing into the hospital and knocking down doors, you know, pulling people aside and shooting people indiscriminately.

One thing has been established is that Hamas does have headquarters, weapons, materiel below this hospital.

He wants to make very clear that Israel has no business staying in Gaza after the war. There should be no occupation at all by Israel.

In his mind there will not be an ultimate solution here until there is a two-state solution.

We talked about the idea that I should be able to pick up the phone and call him, and he should be able to pick up the phone directly and call me. I will take the call.
