We are already in a security state that has no resemblance to democracy whatsoever. But Julian Assange, enabled us to see it. So we have to express gratitude for that. This is the truth. If you don't want leaks, don't have a world run where every consequential fact is hidden from the American people and it enables one disaster after another. And just to make clear how disastrous this is,

Bill Clinton, who was, in my view, a completely ineffectual president and a long list of ineffectual presidents, came to office in 1993 when the doomsday clock was at 17 minutes from midnight, meaning that it was the farthest away from nuclear war in the whole history of the nuclear age. Every single president, starting with Clinton, brought the doomsday clock closer to Armageddon.

Well, I think that they may just be ignorant or don't understand or maybe they're New York Times readers. In other words, there are a lot of people who really don't understand pardons. the situation right now don't understand how dangerous it is, don't understand how lawless it is, don't understand how we're driven by these long-term aims that are absolutely disastrous.

I thank Mitch McConnell, by the way, for writing his essay that the goal is primacy. Too late. If our goal is primacy and we pursue that like this octogenarian who can barely function anymore says we should, we'll all get blown up. We'll move from 90 seconds to midnight to 60 seconds to midnight to 30 seconds to midnight and goodbye.

You could know back in 2014, don't overthrow the Ukrainian government. You could know in 2015, honor the Minsk agreement that would end the war. You could know in 2021, negotiate with Russia because actually Ukraine, I won't even say Ukraine, the United States cannot win a war in Ukraine against Russia. We knew that. But these are not clever people. Jake Sullivan's not a clever person.

They don't understand. They're like terrible poker players that somehow are sitting at the Grand Slam of poker. They don't know what they're doing. And they're bluffing and they're betting and they're doubling down with our money, by the way. You know, and so... Yes, you could know this primacy thing. Come on.
