The transcript appears to be a conversation or a monologue from Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks, discussing his experiences, the role of WikiLeaks, and the state of international relations, particularly between the US and Ecuador.
Assange mentions his current location in the Ecuadorian embassy in London, where he has been for five years. He states that WikiLeaks continues to advance, with more employees being hired. He believes that the battle against the US government has entered a new phase, and the Trump administration's public statements have made it easier to gain domestic and international support against the CIA.
Assange criticizes the US government's actions, claiming that the CIA is using tools to target smartphones and other devices. He also mentions the publication of CIA documents, stating that it is the largest intelligence publication in history. He believes that the CIA has been humiliated due to its incompetence.
Assange discusses the role of WikiLeaks in the 2016 US presidential elections, stating that they did not favor any particular candidate and that there was no evidence of a connection between WikiLeaks and Russia. He also criticizes the actions of the Democratic Party, stating that they lost the elections due to their poor campaign and candidate.
Finally, Assange mentions a significant leak from WikiLeaks, but the transcript ends before he can specify what this leak is.
