"It's really difficult for me to process this moment. I mean, this is a very unprecedented statement. We have the President of the United States basically declaring his intent to commit war crimes, right? You're not supposed to be targeting civilian infrastructure, even in countries that you are nominally at war with."
"This right here from the President of the United States, were it anyone else, we would be talking about the 25th Amendment. People in Congress would be raising hell! And why do I get the feeling that neither one of those things is going to happen?"
"This is just a further escalation of the Trump administration's lack of interest in domestic international law. This is disgraceful, absolutely disgraceful coming from our U.S. President. The language is disgraceful. The claims are disgraceful."

Khardori emphasized the implications of targeting civilian infrastructure, labeling it a potential war crime. He criticized the Trump administration's disregard for international law, citing previous military actions. Capehart questioned Trump's mental fitness, suggesting that such statements would prompt discussions about the 25th Amendment if made by anyone else. The panel expressed outrage over the language used and the potential consequences of Trump's rhetoric.
