The stunning breach in national security involving the ongoing highly classified US attacks targeting Hoothy rebels in Yemen. The details reportedly discussed openly over a group chat on the unauthorized signal app among members of President Trump's national security team. The Atlantic, now revealing its editor in chief, who was invited to join the group chat, says he was included on all the sensitive information hours before the military strikes began. President Trump pressed about the report, saying he didn't know anything about it.

He acts like he didn't know here when he's asked about it by a reporter, But it was fink four or five hours later, so he certainly somebody should have hipped him to it. Well, let's let a reporter ask the question and Trump respond, Mister President.

You mean the attack or the hood is Well, it couldn't have been very effective, because the attack was very effective. I can tell you that I don't know anything about it. You're telling me about it for the first time.

I believe him. Okay, I don't, but that's fine. I don't think he'd ever heard of Signal before yesterday. I'd be surprised we had. And then him saying on signal and then saying about the hoofies. I think that was a great way to handle it through the day when they tried to go with and the attack was successful. So what's the problem, which is not a bad spin on the whole story.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Trump has subsequently done a quick interview with NBC News quote, Michael Waltz has learned a lesson and he's a good man. Actually, all of a sudden, I got tickled in my throat. Yeah, I believe so, because it's believed that Waltz organized the signal group that accidentally included Jeffrey Goldberg of the Atlantic, which is a hell of a mistake to make.

I have my final analysis.

I have been able Supreme Court like to take in all of the testimony and have come to a ruling.

But I'll wait for that.

But I'll wait for that.

Yeah, well, we'll let this unfold a little bit as it did yesterday. She had Trump asked about it and him saying he didn't know anything about it. And then Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseath, who was on the chat on Signal, which is a encrypted private messaging app.

Yeah, well, we'll let this unfold a little bit as it did yesterday. She had Trump asked about it and him saying he didn't know anything about it. And then Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseath, who was on the chat on Signal, which is a encrypted private messaging app.

There's a whole bunch of them out there, I guess I'm finding out. I know of a couple of them.

I didn't know of this one, and it's either used by everybody in DC all the time, or it's a horrifying idea to use it.

A couple opinions on that coming up also, But here getting off playing tarmac sect death, ask about it.

You're talking about.

You're talking about.

A deceitful and highly discredited so called journalists who's made a profession of pedaling hoax his time and time again. I'm post details shared on signal and how did you learn that a journalist was privy to the targets, the types of weapons used.

I've heard of his character. Nobody was texting war plans. And that's all I have to say about.

That is that a lawyer lead denial. Because if you accept texting is messaging, MMS messaging, they weren't.

They were going through an encrypted message.

They were going through an encrypted message.

Or define war plans. Maybe it's a lawyer le denial. Okay, Because Brit Hume of Fox after so sectef hegzeth there said that a couple of hours after the administration said, yeah, that happened, the group text happened with the journalist and all that sort of stuff actually happened. Britt Huma responded to that on Twitter. Oh, for God's sake, the administration has already confirmed the authenticity of the message about Pete has saying it's a hack journalist, blah blah blah.

Yeah, that's that's kind of weak.

I mean, he just reported the truth, so and I share his dim view of Jeffrey Goldberg.

I mean, he just reported the truth, so and I share his dim view of Jeffrey Goldberg.

But in this case, well here's Goldberg responding to Hegzet's comment on CNN. The Goldsberg's the actual Goldberg is the actual journalist who was on the chat by accident.

Nobody was texting war plans, given you were privated this group chat, is that how you saw it?

Nobody was texting war plans, given you were privated this group chat, is that how you saw it?

No, that's a lie. He was texting war plans. He was texting attack plans, when targets were going to be targeted, how they were going to be targeted, who was at the targets when the next sequence of attacks were happening. I didn't publish this, and I continue not to publish it because it felt like it was too confidential, too technical, and I worry, honestly that sharing that kind of information in public could endanger American military personnel. But no, they were plans for the attack.

Toy's credit, he didn't run to Twitter or a microphone or whatever to start shouting about this the moment he found out about it, or more.

Likely published them in The Atlantic.

Yeah, so one other part of it before what you're calling it your ultimate point, Joe's ultimate point, Joe, Joe nailed something.

Joe's final ruling.

Joe's final ruling.

So the idea of having the Secretary Defense, the Secretary of State, the Vice President of the United States, the CIA director, the d N I, I mean, the most powerful people in all of our government discussing war plans for an attack on this method, using this method of communication that is telegrammer what is it? I can't remember which one we're talking about. On signal it's either okay or horrible.

So we'll start with Andrew McCabe, former FBI director who liked he got preferred to the FISA court and violated the Constitution. Yes, he had to step down. He got convicted of something. I don't even understand how he's still a but anyway, he's on CNN saying this.

So, convening a small group to discuss a military strike on a commercially available messaging app is outrageous.

So, convening a small group to discuss a military strike on a commercially available messaging app is outrageous.

It's absolutely unthinkable.

It's absolutely unthinkable.

I can't even imagine a scenario in which that would have happened, or that anyone who was asked to engage in it would agree without very quickly objecting and saying, hey, this is content that we can't possibly expose on a non classified system.

I can't even imagine a scenario in which that would have happened, or that anyone who was asked to engage in it would agree without very quickly objecting and saying, hey, this is content that we can't possibly expose on a non classified system.

So I would say that as watching Mark Halprin's emergency podcast last night, and I trust his opinion on these things. He said, talking to people around DC, everybody just is jaw dropped. They can't believe that this conversation was happening on this app. I mean, they just can't believe it. It's just, like he said, outrageous. On the other hand, here you've got Lawrence Jones of Fox and Friends, who has a lot of sources in the government, saying it happens all the time.

As it relates to government officials using signal, they all use it. They're not supposed to, but they use it. But if you secret stuff, they use it. CIA every single intelligence agency uses signal. I know that for a fact. I talk to them on signal. They're sources of mind. They all use signal.

Uh.

Uh.

It is the best way and the most secure way to get information out. And that's why a lot of journals use it as well. They don't want it, they're not supposed to do it, but they do it anyway.

So it's interesting I know, so outside of whatever even happens with this little scandal, whether it's a big deal, we got to nail down the hole. Are classified documents actually classified?

So it's interesting I know, so outside of whatever even happens with this little scandal, whether it's a big deal, we got to nail down the hole. Are classified documents actually classified?

I'm glad you brought that up because that was one of Mark Alpern's big point. He said, I doubt anybody was transcribing this as it happened. And this one of the reasons you're supposed to use the official government channels is this is all supposed to be documented.

And enforcement of law. Yeah.

And enforcement of law. Yeah.

Absolutely, so you don't have rogue operators going outside the constitution. Yeah, the whole thing's pretty troubling, just one quick note, because I can't resist. Matt Tayebe has come as close as any human being has ever done to actually having his head explode over an issue. And that is because he is. If you read Matt, you know this insane with wonder and anger that the demamocratic side of America has embraced and lionized all of the worst lying spooks in our recent history. You're Andrew mccabes, you're John Brennan's. Who is the other guy who's always on that list? I can picture them, but I can't think of his name. All of the CIA and NSA guys and crooked FBI agents are now on CNN and MSNBC because they're anti Trump. But they're the very sort of thing the Democratic Party for everybody's whole lives has despised and called out. They're the unholy Satanic love children of Jay Edgar Hoover and Richard Nixon, these guys, and the left has embraced them. Anyway, That's just the quickest side. My final judgment is this, there are a lot of interesting questions to be asked about who is using, for instance, signal and in what way, and how right and how wrong it was. This has shown some real sloppiness. How does Jeffrey Goldberg get in on the group? Because I guess on signal you use like aliases and initials, and Waltz's screen name was Waltz, Rubio's was mar short for Marco, and so somebody just scanned it real quick and saw I don't know what Goldberg's handle was, but just didn't notice it, And so I went ahead and was texting.

Those not given access to the classified stuff can accidentally or nefariously be on these these strings. It's sloppy, it's dumb. Is it like fatal? These people should lose their jobs. It's close.

Maybe I'm just naive about how things work, but I'm surprised they don't all get together in a room with very few exceptions, when you're two hours from launching an attack on somebody, I would that rises to the level of he let's take our Saturday or Sunday or whatever day it was, and go ahead to go into the office and sit there and discuss whether we're going to launch the biggest military attack of the Trump administration.

And if there's some that's and if there's somebody on the other side of the world, you get one of those super secret, top level, you know, video connections, and they talk to them there in the war room as they discuss it. The fact that they're all just going about their day, like I don't know what they were doing. I'm at the grocery store and I'm at my kid's soccer match or whatever, and we jump on this thing and have a conversation. It seemed a little loosey goosey to me, But maybe I'm naive. Maybe this happens all the time.

Yeah, yeah, Well, one thing we haven't gotten to is what the conversations have revealed about the balance of power and philosophies foreign policy wise within the administration, which I found really really interesting. I got the trans and encouraging. Honestly, I think it's all, you know, good news. Some of the folks opinions are you know, a little troubling to me, but seems like a very healthy team of rivals type discussion.

Uh so it was like a bolton board thing, and his bulletin board post was really well written and it sounded great. So I reached out to him and then like the first thing was really good and I thought, Okay, this person's going to be good.

But then when I got into questions like how about this, or like individual questions, his answers like the grammar fell apart.

But then when I got into questions like how about this, or like individual questions, his answers like the grammar fell apart.

Completely, Like I mean it was like, are you I thought you can't be a native English speaker. I mean it was just it was almost nonsensical, and it happened so fast after the initial posting, and then like the initial thing they said, which was kind of generic, it all completely fell apart, and I was wondering. I thought, what the heck went on there? I couldn't figure it out till today when you mentioned the AI resumes that's almost guaranteed what it is. He's got the initial post, he runs through that. Or I suppose he could have his girlfriend write a for him or something like that.

What's your gut feeling. Is it just somebody covering up their inadequacies or a foreign scammer or what are you saying?

I don't think it was a foreign scammer.

I don't think it was a foreign scammer.

I think I think it was a non native English speaker trying to hide that that not that that automatically makes you unhiable or something like that. But I couldn't communicate with them and it was sketchy, so I moved on. But yeah, but that's going to be hard to suss out in the future. Oh yeah, and I'm surprised he didn't like keep up the ruse by running that stuff through AI.

I don't know how it all.

I don't know how it all.

It would have been pretty hard because it was weird down to the just back and forth communication texting at that point. Yeah, but yeah, I'm sure if you're really good with the technology, you could have AI doing that in real time and then you'll you know, you'll meet the person mowing your lawn or fixing your roof or whatever the heck you're doing, you know, fishing guide whatever you do with completely illiterate right.

Yeah, So the big story today is the Trump national security team accidentally including a journalist on their super private string of how we're going to attack the hu Thies and when and whether the actual conversation in the differing opinions and philosophies within the Trump team super interesting.

So there just coincidentally with this mini scandal or Maxi scandal, depending on how it turns out. Going on around intelligence, the big Senate hearing today where all the intelligence heads come in and talk about the biggest threats around the world. I love this every year and we always end up talking about it because lots of interesting stuff comes out of but because he had this kind of scandal thing happen, which is about if you don't know what we're talking about, it's about to be laid up by Mark Warner, Democrat, co chair of this committee. Democrats have something to talk about for the first time practically in the second Trump administration, and they're so excited about it.

I love this every year and we always end up talking about it because lots of interesting stuff comes out of but because he had this kind of scandal thing happen, which is about if you don't know what we're talking about, it's about to be laid up by Mark Warner, Democrat, co chair of this committee. Democrats have something to talk about for the first time practically in the second Trump administration, and they're so excited about it.

But here it goes.

And according to reports, two of our witnesses here today were.

To discussed highly sensitive and likely classified information that supposedly even included weapons packages, targets, and timing, and included the name of an active CIA agent. There's plenty of declassified information the shows that our adversaries China and Russia are trying to break in two encrypted systems like signal.

That is perfect for what I'm about to talk about here. Mark Warner walked into that. Here he downed two double espressos and took a viagra. He was so excited about getting in there and laying it to the Trump administration.

But somebody pointed this out on and it's absolutely true. You just gotta love the rich. Only in Washington, irony of one Republicans who tormented Hillary Clinton for her private e mail service scandal, now trying to downplay what could be some sort of breach a sense of info, while at the same time Democrats pouncing on this controversy after defending Clinton's email bruhaha for years. The Ours will argue these episodes are not equal. The Dems will argue these are not equal, and that's where we are. But him bringing up any regulars, I have heard this before. Any regular man in uniform would have been court martialed for this exactly.

It's certainly not a security protocol to include Jeffrey freaking Goldberg in this stuff. I suspect the course will be corrected and this will not happen again. But we've talked about that a fair amount, and there's more to develop, I suppose in the days to come, and we will cover it for you. But I found this just irresistibly interesting, the actual conversations and the polls of power and philosophy, if you will, within the Trump national security team, and it strikes me as a very team of rivals thing. And I'll describe some of the specifics before I babble on more about what I think about it.

Okay, fine, So anyway, the news, according to the comment here in the Wall Street Journal editorial board, was that the characters played to their public type, their public image, and I would agree. National Security Advisor Mike Walls came out for US leadership said, no, we've this is our role in the world. It's important that we do it, that we keep shipping free, for instance. And he was also very forceful in saying, look, this is the president's policy, that's his policy.

Vance was a voice for US retreat and or extreme caution. And we'll get more to why he thought that in a second, it's not crazy. Even though Trump had said no, we want to hit him. Vance was like, Hey, I think we're making a mistake here. Stephen Miller, who's a screen name, was sm said, as I heard it, the president was clear green light, paraphrasing, now, why should Tehran's proxy get away with shooting at navy ships, US Navy ships and aircraft and blocking critical waterways for everybody but around Russia and China the way they did under Joe Biden.

Michael Waltz in the Key exchange on March fourteen, which was the day before the strikes on Yemen, wrote quote, team, you should have a statement of conclusions with taskings per the president's guidance, but not all preferred to take to guidance, said jd Well, a user who went by the screen name jd Vance, who that is historians will have to parse out anyway, This mysterious JD. Van's character says, I think we're making a mistake. Three percent of US trade runs through the Suez, while forty percent of European trade does. I am not sure the President is aware how inconsistent this is with his message on Europe. Right now, there's a further risk that we see a moderate to severe spike in oil prices. There is a strong argument for delaying this a month, doing the messaging work on why this matters and seeing where the economy is, et cetera.

And that's just an interesting insight into his philosophy. And I mean that's gonna matter when he runs for president. I don't like his point of view. I think he's wrong, but he's he's pretty hard core that direction, it would seem, and he will be heard from again in a moment.

Ah, let's see this council of delay waiting for economic news that may never come. Was echoed by Joe Kent, whose name you might not know, but he's a noted isolationist to pull backerr, whatever you want to call it, whom Director of National Intelligence Tulsey Gabbard has named in the chat as her point of contact. So he's her point man, and he's a bit of an isolationist. In reply, Pete Hegzeth pointed out the risks of waiting and stressed Iran's role, and then made the case for the operation quote I see it as two things. One restoring freedom of navigation, which is a core national interest, in two re established to terrence which Biden cratered. Trump later made similar points in public, reflecting their being on the same page. I think, well, I'll say my analysis for a second. This reflects well on mister heg Seth, writes the editorial board of the journal, though it's notable that he named Don Caldwell as his point of contact, and Caldwell comes from the isolationist Coke network, as in the Koch Brothers, which Trump has been highly critical of, which is again team of rivalsy Waltz explained the damage to global trade in the limits of Europe's navies quote, whether it's now or several weeks from now, it will have to be the United States that reopens these shipping lanes.

He wrote, Yeah, I thought an interesting point. You might think Europe should do it. They can't. They don't have the ability.

And then vance showing his reasonableness in the face of disagreement to me, and I disagree strongly with JD on several things, but he said he finally conceded to reality. Quote, I just hate bailing Europe again. Hexeth agreed. I fully share your loathing of European free loading. It's pathetic. That's probably not the sort of thing you want to leak. But but Mike, meaning Mike Waltz, is correct about how we have to do that. Mister Trump now now knows which of his deputies tried to block it and which tried to carry it out.

And I you know, I see it as as as poles as like magnetic poles in the group. You know, not to flog the team of rivals thing too much. But I mean, if you're in an organization, maybe you're doing software or something like that, and you have a brain trust of people, and one of your people is always harping about innovation. How if we stay still, we're going to get left behind. The business we're in is innovating.

What's next?

We've got to improve this. And then you have people saying, look, this is the most popular ex software in the world. We can't mess with it until we're one hundred percent. We're ready, our customers are satisfied. You're right, but caution. You don't want to cut out innovation guy just because for now you're leaving Salesforce or Microsoft Order or whatever the hell as it is.

You don't want to silence Jdvance saying look, we've got to keep putting the screws to the Euros or they will stay lazy and we will pay for and earlier said that at the least we ought to get some money out of them for doing this, reopening their freaking shipping lanes. I love jd Vance's voice in that discussion, and I think they did the right thing in spite of it.

So I'm this is an innocent question, not trying to push anything any direction. How does the chain of come in work on this whole thing. So it sounded like Trump had already signed off on the idea of we need to attack the hoothies then, so like could have it got stemied in this conversation and like was so, then did somebody report back to him We're not doing.

It or how does that even work? Yeah?

Absolutely, I think uh probably hexeth end or Waltz would have gone back to the President and said, uh, hey, we've got some serious concerns about A and B. And then of course the commander in chief would say, Yeah, that's that's nice, that's that's sweet.

I had my permanent parachute pants before I graduated for the baldness. Yes, constantly hearing from college professors about how much greater it was in Europe, how many weeks of vacation they get and they only have to work this many hours a week, and how wonderful it is without pointing out to me a stupid college kid who didn't know any better. That's because we provide their national defense.

In France, for instance, or Greece, we provide the national offense, so of course they don't have to be as productive. They can, you know, take nine months of vacation or retire at fifty or whatever the hell they do in all these guds. None of the college professors pointed that out of course. Well, and it's as if Europe itself is a retiree. They have more time to do fun stuff. They spend more time on the golf course than I do because I'm still working. But they are heading toward you know, decline and perhaps the tomb because we spend they're no longer young and dynamic and growing and achieving, and right they're just in that phase of their life.

We spend eight hundred million dollars a year on defense, I think it's roughly that number, and that's so we can, you know, do what we want to do around the world, and that protects Europe. And then then they don't have to hardly spend any money all until recently.

You know, France, Germany, England, all these countries, they basically line up with us, and they'll continue to line up with us when we're not providing. That is probably not going to be the case when they actually are independent enough to provide their own security or work together in security. Next time we need to do anything or want things to be a certain way, they're gonna say, yeah, good for you, do it yourself or whatever. But for the past many decades we really need to do anything, they're on board because they kind of have to be, because we provide all the security. And I think we're gonna miss those days when a nine to eleven comes along and immediately all those countries are on board.

Wait a minute, Oh so, speaking of science, here is the headline. How do I put this? The headline most likely to make you cringe today? Would you let a robot draw your blood? Oh? Northwestern among health systems trying new device. No way that, no possible way a robot can ever do that? Well, not possible. My response is six simple words, get that thing away from me. Can you imagine.
