Here are Richard Clarke's exact words:

    If I were in the job now I would have simply told the FBI
    to call Forte Meade the headquarters of the National Security
    Agency and NSA would have solved this problem for them. They're 
    not as interested in solving the problem as in getting a legal
    precedent.

    [...]

    Every expert I know believes that NSA could crack this phone.
    They want the precedent that the government can compel a computer
    device manufacturer to allow the government in.

Still waiting for the transcript, but here is the relevant part.

"If I were in the job now, I would've simply told the FBI to call Fort Meade--the headquarters of the National Security Agency--and they would have solved this problem."

"They are not interested in solving the problem as they are in getting a legal precedent."
