00:00Let me first say that today's action has been in the works for several months.
00:04We informed, the United States informed the United Nations and the Russian mission to the United Nations
00:09that we are beginning the process of expelling 12 intelligence operatives from the Russian mission
00:13who had abused their privileges of residency in the United States
00:16by engaging in espionage activities that are adverse to our national security.
00:21First, I would say that there's no question that this speech is a little different
00:26than it would have been just a few months ago.
00:28And there's always national security in every State of the Union speech,
00:33but every State of the Union speech also reflects a moment of time.
