Obama: "The weird videos of a US president with a crown on his head flying a fighter jet & dumping poop on American citizens - that's not even worth booing about.

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

Buttigieg: "I know this -- in my experience both in the cabinet and as an intelligence officer, you would have to go out of your way to take classified information and move it into an unclassified system."
