Sullivan made his remarks during a press conference on Monday, January 13th, with Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre. Sullivan gave a short speech listing the accomplishments of the Biden administration – from economic recovery and growth, strengthened relations with allies and the strategic weakening of so-called “adversaries,” among other issues.
Sullivan remarked: “Are our alliances stronger? Yes. Are our adversaries weaker and under greater pressure, even as they align more closely? Yes.”
He added, “Suffice it to say, it’s been an action-packed four years. But if you take stock of where America stands today, I believe deeply that the incoming administration is starting with a very strong hand.
“So, as we pass the baton, we are doing so, thanks to the leadership of President Biden and his team, from a position of profound American confidence and capacity. And when you look around the world, there is no other country that has what we have to bring to both the competition we face and the challenges we need to marshal the world to help solve,” Sullivan concluded before taking questions.
At the end of the Q&A portion, Sullivan left off with this final statement, providing a vague warning of a looming “unexpected event.” He stated:
I just will say one last word, which is, this is — I hope this is my last time at this podium — (laughter) — at least for a little while, and I don’t mean that in a negative sense. I mean the only thing that would bring me back is an unexpected event in the next few days, which, as you all know, is totally possible given everything you’ve seen over the course of the past years.
But if it is, in fact, my last time before you, I just want to say thank you for what you guys do every day. And thank you for putting up with me. It’s been an honor to be able to really try to illuminate these issues through tough, probing, and penetrating questioning. And I’ve — can’t say I’ve always enjoyed every moment up here, but I certainly have been privileged to be able to do it. So, thank you guys very much.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
This very well could just be a throwaway comment, and perhaps it probably is, but if we have learned anything at all this last decade it is to at least is to expect the unexpected.
-And not just with the final days of the Biden administration as we transition into Trump’s second reign, but for the rest of 2025 and onward. Prepare for and expect the unexpected at any time. This is not me “fear-mongering,” this is just telling it the way that it is. The stuff ‘they’ have planned for us this year is going to be crazy; so hold onto your hats because it’s going to be a wild ride…
Ephesians 5:15 See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, [16] Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).
