And that's really what I'm working for right now, not just to stop the destruction coming from the White House, but to usher in the next generation of leadership in this country to help us to dream America anew and redeem the dream for so many who've given up on the very dream of America.
Thank you.

I think this president has betrayed American traditions, American allies, and frankly, the incredible people of Ukraine. His leadership over the last hundred days has almost been like an invitation to the Russians to continue what has been roundly condemned by the international community. as an unjustified war of aggression.

And that allowances and coddling of Putin has endangered democracies across the world and endangered the world order. And the way he's conducting it in this most recent peace proposal he has, the treatment of Zelensky and the demeaning and degrading way he discussed, talks about him as the dictator and coddles Putin, all of this is so offensive to

You know, I have very direct conversations with some of my best allies around the war in Ukraine for the past years. And You know, in private, they'll be very strong in their criticism. Some of them will say some things. But as you said, across the board, the crisis right now is not what Trump is doing simply. It's the silence, inaction, complicity of people who know better.

But when it came to a moral moment in this country where you had to choose patriotism over party, they chose patriotism and have suffered for it. So it does take a profile in courage right now to condemn this president in a full-throated way with the threat that he is posing in this case to the rules-based world order. But unfortunately, we're not seeing that kind of strength of conviction.
