WEBVTT - Do Not Get Upside Down On Big Macs 0:00:01.840 --> 0:00:06.120 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George 0:00:06.200 --> 0:00:10.240 Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. 0:00:10.160 --> 0:00:17.240 Arm Strong and Getty and he Armstrong and Getty. 0:00:23.480 --> 0:00:27.160 The stunning breach in national security involving the ongoing highly 0:00:27.200 --> 0:00:31.640 classified US attacks targeting Hoothy rebels in Yemen. The details 0:00:31.680 --> 0:00:35.720 reportedly discussed openly over a group chat on the unauthorized 0:00:35.760 --> 0:00:39.280 signal app among members of President Trump's national security team. 0:00:39.520 --> 0:00:42.640 The Atlantic, now revealing its editor in chief, who was 0:00:42.760 --> 0:00:45.839 invited to join the group chat, says he was included 0:00:45.880 --> 0:00:50.160 on all the sensitive information hours before the military strikes began. 0:00:50.640 --> 0:00:53.640 President Trump pressed about the report, saying he didn't know 0:00:53.680 --> 0:00:54.440 anything about it. 0:00:54.560 --> 0:00:56.600 Okay, so we'll play the Trump part here in just 0:00:56.600 --> 0:01:01.240 a second. The timing of all this, nobody knows when 0:01:01.320 --> 0:01:02.560 Trump was alerted to this. 0:01:02.760 --> 0:01:04.959 You'd have to assume somebody told him. 0:01:05.040 --> 0:01:07.199 He acts like he didn't know here when he's asked 0:01:07.200 --> 0:01:10.080 about it by a reporter, But it was fink four 0:01:10.160 --> 0:01:13.160 or five hours later, so he certainly somebody should have 0:01:13.480 --> 0:01:16.280 hipped him to it. Well, let's let a reporter ask 0:01:16.360 --> 0:01:19.240 the question and Trump respond, Mister President. 0:01:19.000 --> 0:01:21.920 You reacted to the story of the Atlantic that said 0:01:21.920 --> 0:01:25.520 that some of your top account officials and aids had 0:01:25.520 --> 0:01:29.080 been discussing very sense of material from Signal and included 0:01:29.120 --> 0:01:30.480 an Atlantic reporter for that. 0:01:30.560 --> 0:01:31.520 What is your response to that? 0:01:31.560 --> 0:01:33.640 In our opinions, I don't know anything about it. 0:01:33.720 --> 0:01:35.160 I'm not a big fan of The Atlantic. 0:01:35.200 --> 0:01:37.600 It's to me it's a magazine that's going out of business. 0:01:37.640 --> 0:01:39.920 I think it's not much of a magazine. But I 0:01:40.000 --> 0:01:42.280 know nothing about it. You're saying that they had what. 0:01:42.760 --> 0:01:46.640 They were using signal to pour date on sets of 0:01:46.680 --> 0:01:47.840 materials and. 0:01:47.600 --> 0:01:50.920 Having to do with what, how did you do with what? 0:01:50.920 --> 0:01:53.920 What were they talking about with the hookies? The who dies? 0:01:53.960 --> 0:01:56.360 You mean the attack or the hood is Well, it 0:01:56.400 --> 0:01:59.400 couldn't have been very effective, because the attack was very effective. 0:01:59.440 --> 0:02:01.560 I can tell you that I don't know anything about it. 0:02:01.640 --> 0:02:04.040 You're telling me about it for the first time. 0:02:06.160 --> 0:02:11.040 I believe him. Okay, I don't, but that's fine. I 0:02:11.040 --> 0:02:13.040 don't think he'd ever heard of Signal before yesterday. I'd 0:02:13.040 --> 0:02:17.560 be surprised we had. And then him saying on signal 0:02:18.000 --> 0:02:20.320 and then saying about the hoofies. I think that was 0:02:20.360 --> 0:02:22.639 a great way to handle it through the day when 0:02:22.639 --> 0:02:25.200 they tried to go with and the attack was successful. 0:02:25.400 --> 0:02:27.840 So what's the problem, which is not a bad spin 0:02:28.360 --> 0:02:29.200 on the whole story. 0:02:29.880 --> 0:02:30.079 Yeah. 0:02:30.080 --> 0:02:34.200 Trump has subsequently done a quick interview with NBC News quote, 0:02:34.280 --> 0:02:38.720 Michael Waltz has learned a lesson and he's a good man. Actually, 0:02:38.720 --> 0:02:40.359 all of a sudden, I got tickled in my throat. Yeah, 0:02:40.400 --> 0:02:45.160 I believe so, because it's believed that Waltz organized the 0:02:45.280 --> 0:02:51.120 signal group that accidentally included Jeffrey Goldberg of the Atlantic, 0:02:52.000 --> 0:02:53.480 which is a hell of a mistake to make. 0:02:53.600 --> 0:02:55.200 I have my final analysis. 0:02:56.160 --> 0:02:58.600 I have been able Supreme Court like to take in 0:02:58.760 --> 0:03:00.880 all of the testimony and have come to a ruling. 0:03:00.919 --> 0:03:02.359 But I'll wait for that. 0:03:02.440 --> 0:03:04.200 Yeah, well, we'll let this unfold a little bit as 0:03:04.200 --> 0:03:07.200 it did yesterday. She had Trump asked about it and 0:03:07.400 --> 0:03:09.600 him saying he didn't know anything about it. And then 0:03:10.080 --> 0:03:16.080 Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseath, who was on the chat 0:03:16.120 --> 0:03:20.280 on Signal, which is a encrypted private messaging app. 0:03:20.320 --> 0:03:21.919 There's a whole bunch of them out there, I guess 0:03:22.000 --> 0:03:24.880 I'm finding out. I know of a couple of them. 0:03:24.960 --> 0:03:28.000 I didn't know of this one, and it's either used 0:03:28.040 --> 0:03:30.160 by everybody in DC all the time, or it's a 0:03:30.200 --> 0:03:31.600 horrifying idea to use it. 0:03:31.680 --> 0:03:32.320 We'll get to that. 0:03:33.560 --> 0:03:36.400 A couple opinions on that coming up also, But here 0:03:36.600 --> 0:03:39.480 getting off playing tarmac sect death, ask about it. 0:03:39.760 --> 0:03:40.880 You're talking about. 0:03:40.640 --> 0:03:47.280 A deceitful and highly discredited so called journalists who's made 0:03:47.320 --> 0:03:50.520 a profession of pedaling hoax his time and time again. 0:03:50.680 --> 0:03:53.520 I'm post details shared on signal and how did you 0:03:53.600 --> 0:03:56.520 learn that a journalist was privy to the targets, the 0:03:56.600 --> 0:03:58.200 types of weapons used. 0:03:58.360 --> 0:04:03.920 I've heard of his character. Nobody was texting war plans. 0:04:03.960 --> 0:04:05.320 And that's all I have to say about. 0:04:05.080 --> 0:04:09.840 That is that a lawyer lead denial. Because if you 0:04:10.520 --> 0:04:15.000 accept texting is messaging, MMS messaging, they weren't. 0:04:15.560 --> 0:04:18.480 They were going through an encrypted message. 0:04:18.760 --> 0:04:25.240 Or define war plans. Maybe it's a lawyer le denial. Okay, 0:04:25.240 --> 0:04:31.000 Because Brit Hume of Fox after so sectef hegzeth there 0:04:31.360 --> 0:04:36.720 said that a couple of hours after the administration said, yeah, 0:04:36.760 --> 0:04:39.000 that happened, the group text happened with the journalist and 0:04:39.040 --> 0:04:42.200 all that sort of stuff actually happened. Britt Huma responded 0:04:42.200 --> 0:04:45.280 to that on Twitter. Oh, for God's sake, the administration 0:04:45.360 --> 0:04:49.680 has already confirmed the authenticity of the message about Pete 0:04:49.680 --> 0:04:53.200 has saying it's a hack journalist, blah blah blah. 0:04:53.279 --> 0:04:54.599 Yeah, that's that's kind of weak. 0:04:54.880 --> 0:04:58.080 I mean, he just reported the truth, so and I 0:04:59.160 --> 0:05:01.560 share his dim view of Jeffrey Goldberg. 0:05:01.720 --> 0:05:05.960 But in this case, well here's Goldberg responding to Hegzet's 0:05:06.000 --> 0:05:09.560 comment on CNN. The Goldsberg's the actual Goldberg is the 0:05:09.600 --> 0:05:12.359 actual journalist who was on the chat by accident. 0:05:13.080 --> 0:05:16.560 Nobody was texting war plans, given you were privated this 0:05:16.600 --> 0:05:17.880 group chat, is that how you saw it? 0:05:18.480 --> 0:05:22.159 No, that's a lie. He was texting war plans. He 0:05:22.279 --> 0:05:27.160 was texting attack plans, when targets were going to be targeted, 0:05:27.680 --> 0:05:29.800 how they were going to be targeted, who was at 0:05:29.839 --> 0:05:33.200 the targets when the next sequence of attacks were happening. 0:05:33.240 --> 0:05:35.760 I didn't publish this, and I continue not to publish 0:05:35.839 --> 0:05:41.080 it because it felt like it was too confidential, too technical, 0:05:42.279 --> 0:05:47.680 and I worry, honestly that sharing that kind of information 0:05:48.000 --> 0:05:51.520 in public could endanger American military personnel. But no, they 0:05:52.080 --> 0:05:53.480 were plans for the attack. 0:05:54.200 --> 0:05:57.960 Toy's credit, he didn't run to Twitter or a microphone 0:05:58.000 --> 0:06:01.120 or whatever to start shouting about this the moment he 0:06:01.200 --> 0:06:03.159 found out about it, or more. 0:06:03.120 --> 0:06:04.839 Likely published them in The Atlantic. 0:06:05.040 --> 0:06:08.520 Yeah, so one other part of it before what you're 0:06:08.520 --> 0:06:12.479 calling it your ultimate point, Joe's ultimate point, Joe, Joe 0:06:12.920 --> 0:06:13.760 nailed something. 0:06:14.240 --> 0:06:15.480 Joe's final ruling. 0:06:16.480 --> 0:06:22.400 So the idea of having the Secretary Defense, the Secretary 0:06:22.400 --> 0:06:26.040 of State, the Vice President of the United States, the 0:06:26.080 --> 0:06:29.240 CIA director, the d N I, I mean, the most 0:06:29.240 --> 0:06:33.040 powerful people in all of our government discussing war plans 0:06:33.800 --> 0:06:40.560 for an attack on this method, using this method of 0:06:40.640 --> 0:06:46.000 communication that is telegrammer what is it? I can't remember 0:06:46.000 --> 0:06:49.600 which one we're talking about. On signal it's either okay 0:06:49.640 --> 0:06:50.120 or horrible. 0:06:50.200 --> 0:06:54.400 So we'll start with Andrew McCabe, former FBI director who 0:06:54.520 --> 0:06:59.800 liked he got preferred to the FISA court and violated 0:06:59.800 --> 0:07:02.080 the Constitution. Yes, he had to step down. He got 0:07:02.080 --> 0:07:04.920 convicted of something. I don't even understand how he's still 0:07:04.960 --> 0:07:07.560 a but anyway, he's on CNN saying this. 0:07:08.440 --> 0:07:11.560 So, convening a small group to discuss a military strike 0:07:11.600 --> 0:07:16.200 on a commercially available messaging app is outrageous. 0:07:16.240 --> 0:07:18.320 It's absolutely unthinkable. 0:07:18.360 --> 0:07:21.120 I can't even imagine a scenario in which that would 0:07:21.120 --> 0:07:25.000 have happened, or that anyone who was asked to engage 0:07:25.000 --> 0:07:28.760 in it would agree without very quickly objecting and saying, hey, 0:07:28.840 --> 0:07:33.120 this is content that we can't possibly expose on a 0:07:33.240 --> 0:07:35.040 non classified system. 0:07:35.080 --> 0:07:38.560 So I would say that as watching Mark Halprin's emergency 0:07:38.680 --> 0:07:42.440 podcast last night, and I trust his opinion on these things. 0:07:42.480 --> 0:07:45.880 He said, talking to people around DC, everybody just is 0:07:46.200 --> 0:07:49.400 jaw dropped. They can't believe that this conversation was happening 0:07:49.880 --> 0:07:52.040 on this app. I mean, they just can't believe it. 0:07:52.040 --> 0:07:54.559 It's just, like he said, outrageous. On the other hand, 0:07:54.840 --> 0:07:58.240 here you've got Lawrence Jones of Fox and Friends, who 0:07:58.320 --> 0:08:01.640 has a lot of sources in the government, saying it 0:08:01.680 --> 0:08:02.520 happens all the time. 0:08:02.760 --> 0:08:06.720 As it relates to government officials using signal, they all 0:08:06.840 --> 0:08:09.520 use it. They're not supposed to, but they use it. 0:08:09.640 --> 0:08:13.960 But if you secret stuff, they use it. CIA every 0:08:14.000 --> 0:08:17.360 single intelligence agency uses signal. I know that for a fact. 0:08:17.720 --> 0:08:20.120 I talk to them on signal. They're sources of mind. 0:08:20.280 --> 0:08:22.240 They all use signal. 0:08:22.600 --> 0:08:22.880 Uh. 0:08:22.920 --> 0:08:26.600 It is the best way and the most secure way 0:08:26.800 --> 0:08:29.120 to get information out. And that's why a lot of 0:08:29.200 --> 0:08:32.720 journals use it as well. They don't want it, they're 0:08:32.760 --> 0:08:34.720 not supposed to do it, but they do it anyway. 0:08:35.400 --> 0:08:39.560 So it's interesting I know, so outside of whatever even 0:08:39.600 --> 0:08:41.840 happens with this little scandal, whether it's a big deal, 0:08:42.040 --> 0:08:45.440 we got to nail down the hole. Are classified documents 0:08:45.520 --> 0:08:46.760 actually classified? 0:08:47.080 --> 0:08:50.520 Can you take them home or not? Or do you 0:08:50.600 --> 0:08:52.840 have to go into the skiff to read them? Or 0:08:52.880 --> 0:08:53.640 can you read them. 0:08:53.559 --> 0:08:56.120 With your buddies, you know, sitting around watching football game, 0:08:56.400 --> 0:08:58.880 or can you have conversations on these private apps or not. 0:08:59.080 --> 0:09:02.080 Let's let's nail this down so well. Don't constantly have 0:09:02.160 --> 0:09:03.080 these conversations. 0:09:03.280 --> 0:09:04.880 And you're leaving out a big one too. 0:09:05.320 --> 0:09:08.760 Are the very people in government who most need to 0:09:08.800 --> 0:09:12.480 preserve records ignoring the preservation of records laws. 0:09:12.600 --> 0:09:14.040 I'm glad you brought that up because that was one 0:09:14.040 --> 0:09:17.079 of Mark Alpern's big point. He said, I doubt anybody 0:09:17.160 --> 0:09:20.040 was transcribing this as it happened. And this one of 0:09:20.080 --> 0:09:22.520 the reasons you're supposed to use the official government channels 0:09:22.760 --> 0:09:24.640 is this is all supposed to be documented. 0:09:24.640 --> 0:09:28.000 These are for the archives, for historians, for you know, 0:09:28.240 --> 0:09:30.640 for US citizens to see how their government works. 0:09:30.640 --> 0:09:32.280 And enforcement of law. Yeah. 0:09:32.320 --> 0:09:36.680 Absolutely, so you don't have rogue operators going outside the constitution. Yeah, 0:09:36.679 --> 0:09:40.120 the whole thing's pretty troubling, just one quick note, because 0:09:40.160 --> 0:09:44.079 I can't resist. Matt Tayebe has come as close as 0:09:44.080 --> 0:09:47.760 any human being has ever done to actually having his 0:09:47.840 --> 0:09:53.320 head explode over an issue. And that is because he is. 0:09:53.960 --> 0:09:58.040 If you read Matt, you know this insane with wonder 0:09:58.080 --> 0:10:03.720 and anger that the demamocratic side of America has embraced 0:10:03.720 --> 0:10:08.400 and lionized all of the worst lying spooks in our 0:10:08.440 --> 0:10:13.199 recent history. You're Andrew mccabes, you're John Brennan's. Who is 0:10:13.240 --> 0:10:15.200 the other guy who's always on that list? I can 0:10:15.240 --> 0:10:16.959 picture them, but I can't think of his name. All 0:10:17.000 --> 0:10:21.120 of the CIA and NSA guys and crooked FBI agents 0:10:21.200 --> 0:10:25.679 are now on CNN and MSNBC because they're anti Trump. 0:10:25.840 --> 0:10:28.000 But they're the very sort of thing the Democratic Party 0:10:28.040 --> 0:10:33.160 for everybody's whole lives has despised and called out. They're 0:10:33.280 --> 0:10:38.400 the unholy Satanic love children of Jay Edgar Hoover and 0:10:38.520 --> 0:10:42.840 Richard Nixon, these guys, and the left has embraced them. Anyway, 0:10:42.920 --> 0:10:46.960 That's just the quickest side. My final judgment is this, 0:10:48.840 --> 0:10:50.720 there are a lot of interesting questions to be asked 0:10:50.720 --> 0:10:54.000 about who is using, for instance, signal and in what way, 0:10:54.240 --> 0:10:57.679 and how right and how wrong it was. This has 0:10:57.760 --> 0:11:03.920 shown some real sloppiness. How does Jeffrey Goldberg get in 0:11:04.080 --> 0:11:07.800 on the group? Because I guess on signal you use 0:11:07.960 --> 0:11:13.080 like aliases and initials, and Waltz's screen name was Waltz, 0:11:14.120 --> 0:11:19.280 Rubio's was mar short for Marco, and so somebody just 0:11:19.320 --> 0:11:21.080 scanned it real quick and saw I don't know what 0:11:21.120 --> 0:11:23.840 Goldberg's handle was, but just didn't notice it, And so 0:11:23.880 --> 0:11:25.120 I went ahead and was texting. 0:11:26.320 --> 0:11:27.439 And that's the problem. 0:11:28.760 --> 0:11:33.360 Those not given access to the classified stuff can accidentally 0:11:33.440 --> 0:11:38.079 or nefariously be on these these strings. It's sloppy, it's dumb. 0:11:39.160 --> 0:11:42.040 Is it like fatal? These people should lose their jobs. 0:11:43.440 --> 0:11:44.360 It's close. 0:11:46.200 --> 0:11:49.760 Maybe I'm just naive about how things work, but I'm 0:11:49.800 --> 0:11:53.560 surprised they don't all get together in a room with 0:11:53.800 --> 0:11:58.319 very few exceptions, when you're two hours from launching an 0:11:58.360 --> 0:12:01.480 attack on somebody, I would that rises to the level 0:12:01.480 --> 0:12:04.560 of he let's take our Saturday or Sunday or whatever 0:12:04.640 --> 0:12:06.360 day it was, and go ahead to go into the 0:12:06.400 --> 0:12:08.560 office and sit there and discuss whether we're going to 0:12:08.640 --> 0:12:11.559 launch the biggest military attack of the Trump administration. 0:12:12.120 --> 0:12:15.680 Yeah, let's go ahead and drive in from Arlington and Fairfax. 0:12:15.360 --> 0:12:17.200 And if there's some that's and if there's somebody on 0:12:17.200 --> 0:12:18.520 the other side of the world, you get one of 0:12:18.520 --> 0:12:22.000 those super secret, top level, you know, video connections, and 0:12:22.040 --> 0:12:23.679 they talk to them there in the war room as 0:12:23.679 --> 0:12:26.560 they discuss it. The fact that they're all just going 0:12:26.600 --> 0:12:29.000 about their day, like I don't know what they were doing. 0:12:29.080 --> 0:12:30.720 I'm at the grocery store and I'm at my kid's 0:12:30.720 --> 0:12:33.319 soccer match or whatever, and we jump on this thing 0:12:33.360 --> 0:12:37.360 and have a conversation. It seemed a little loosey goosey 0:12:37.400 --> 0:12:39.520 to me, But maybe I'm naive. Maybe this happens all 0:12:39.520 --> 0:12:39.920 the time. 0:12:40.480 --> 0:12:43.600 Yeah, yeah, Well, one thing we haven't gotten to is 0:12:44.080 --> 0:12:49.720 what the conversations have revealed about the balance of power 0:12:49.760 --> 0:12:52.960 and philosophies foreign policy wise within the administration, which I 0:12:53.000 --> 0:12:57.280 found really really interesting. I got the trans and encouraging. Honestly, 0:12:57.360 --> 0:12:59.839 I think it's all, you know, good news. Some of 0:12:59.640 --> 0:13:02.720 the folks opinions are you know, a little troubling to me, 0:13:02.760 --> 0:13:07.360 but seems like a very healthy team of rivals type discussion. 0:13:07.400 --> 0:13:10.120 Well, we only have this transcript because they accidentally invited 0:13:10.120 --> 0:13:12.280 a journalist. Otherwise it would have been lost to history. 0:13:13.040 --> 0:13:16.880 They wouldn't have would have never existed, and that interesting. 0:13:17.080 --> 0:13:19.200 I don't know what's your opinion on this text line 0:13:19.240 --> 0:13:21.920 four one five two nine f KFTC. 0:13:24.880 --> 0:13:27.720 Shortan ASH will send allow customers to pay for food 0:13:27.800 --> 0:13:30.040 deliveries in several installments. 0:13:30.679 --> 0:13:33.800 Great news if you've ever dreamed of one day owning 0:13:33.840 --> 0:13:34.400 a Big Mac. 0:13:37.840 --> 0:13:40.000 Wait a minute, I have had that happen yet before. 0:13:40.440 --> 0:13:43.400 Break up the payments on a meal. Yeah, I've had 0:13:43.440 --> 0:13:44.199 that happen before. 0:13:44.240 --> 0:13:46.800 So like, I get some stuff for the kids, you know, 0:13:46.840 --> 0:13:49.240 we order from Panda Express regularly, and then it says 0:13:49.280 --> 0:13:49.679 would you. 0:13:49.679 --> 0:13:51.439 Like to break up into payments? And I always think 0:13:51.480 --> 0:13:54.360 that's hilarious. You know it's forty two dollars? Yeah? 0:13:54.720 --> 0:13:56.839 Can I get it over sixty months? What's the interest rate? 0:13:58.400 --> 0:14:00.720 It's not the worst idea I've ever but it's in 0:14:00.760 --> 0:14:04.240 the top three. Oh boy, do not get upside down 0:14:04.280 --> 0:14:07.040 on Big Max. Oh you'd be upside down immediately because 0:14:07.040 --> 0:14:09.800 you're gonna beat the well. Yeah, and if you don't, 0:14:09.840 --> 0:14:12.960 the resale is well, it's not good. 0:14:13.280 --> 0:14:15.200 I got a used big Back barely. 0:14:16.920 --> 0:14:18.400 You know how when you drive a car off a 0:14:18.400 --> 0:14:20.480 lot you lose one third of its value. 0:14:20.760 --> 0:14:24.200 It's much worse for Hamburgers. Trust me. Okay. 0:14:24.200 --> 0:14:27.280 So we were talking last hour about they're having trouble 0:14:27.280 --> 0:14:30.640 with AI write and resumes, and so it's not like 0:14:30.680 --> 0:14:32.200 the old days where you could say, oh my god, 0:14:32.240 --> 0:14:34.480 look at the spelling on this resume or whatever. This 0:14:34.560 --> 0:14:37.840 person can't work here, AI's writing for you grammar and 0:14:37.840 --> 0:14:38.480 blah blah blah. 0:14:38.640 --> 0:14:40.080 Had this actually happened yesterday. 0:14:40.080 --> 0:14:42.520 I'm trying to I won't get distracted with what I 0:14:42.560 --> 0:14:44.520 was trying to get this person to do. But I 0:14:44.560 --> 0:14:47.560 was trying to basically hire someone to do something, and 0:14:47.720 --> 0:14:50.200 was communicating with them through. 0:14:52.040 --> 0:14:55.960 A chat place where they post accidentally included Jeffrey Goldberg 0:14:56.000 --> 0:14:58.040 of The Atlantic. Yes. 0:15:00.240 --> 0:15:03.320 Uh so it was like a bolton board thing, and 0:15:03.360 --> 0:15:06.480 his bulletin board post was really well written and it 0:15:06.520 --> 0:15:08.760 sounded great. So I reached out to him and then 0:15:08.840 --> 0:15:11.040 like the first thing was really good and I thought, Okay, 0:15:11.040 --> 0:15:12.000 this person's going to be good. 0:15:12.000 --> 0:15:13.280 I think this is somebody I can trust. 0:15:13.680 --> 0:15:16.640 But then when I got into questions like how about this, 0:15:16.760 --> 0:15:20.880 or like individual questions, his answers like the grammar fell apart. 0:15:20.600 --> 0:15:23.680 Completely, Like I mean it was like, are you I 0:15:23.680 --> 0:15:25.720 thought you can't be a native English speaker. I mean 0:15:25.720 --> 0:15:28.680 it was just it was almost nonsensical, and it happened 0:15:28.760 --> 0:15:31.960 so fast after the initial posting, and then like the 0:15:31.960 --> 0:15:34.840 initial thing they said, which was kind of generic, it 0:15:34.920 --> 0:15:38.240 all completely fell apart, and I was wondering. I thought, 0:15:38.360 --> 0:15:41.440 what the heck went on there? I couldn't figure it 0:15:41.440 --> 0:15:45.040 out till today when you mentioned the AI resumes that's 0:15:45.040 --> 0:15:47.720 almost guaranteed what it is. He's got the initial post, 0:15:47.720 --> 0:15:50.080 he runs through that. Or I suppose he could have 0:15:50.120 --> 0:15:51.720 his girlfriend write a for him or something like that. 0:15:51.800 --> 0:15:54.760 But anyway, somebody else wrote it, and then the first 0:15:54.920 --> 0:15:57.000 generic response and then when he got into the question 0:15:57.080 --> 0:15:59.800 and answer, it made no sense whatsoever. 0:16:00.400 --> 0:16:02.440 What's your gut feeling. Is it just somebody covering up 0:16:02.480 --> 0:16:06.200 their inadequacies or a foreign scammer or what are you saying? 0:16:06.280 --> 0:16:07.560 I don't think it was a foreign scammer. 0:16:07.640 --> 0:16:10.280 I think I think it was a non native English 0:16:10.320 --> 0:16:13.800 speaker trying to hide that that not that that automatically 0:16:13.880 --> 0:16:16.280 makes you unhiable or something like that. But I couldn't 0:16:16.280 --> 0:16:20.920 communicate with them and it was sketchy, so I moved on. 0:16:21.280 --> 0:16:24.760 But yeah, but that's going to be hard to suss 0:16:24.760 --> 0:16:28.280 out in the future. Oh yeah, and I'm surprised he 0:16:28.360 --> 0:16:31.560 didn't like keep up the ruse by running that stuff 0:16:31.720 --> 0:16:32.360 through AI. 0:16:32.520 --> 0:16:33.240 I don't know how it all. 0:16:33.320 --> 0:16:34.920 It would have been pretty hard because it was weird 0:16:34.960 --> 0:16:37.480 down to the just back and forth communication texting at 0:16:37.480 --> 0:16:41.000 that point. Yeah, but yeah, I'm sure if you're really 0:16:41.680 --> 0:16:43.800 good with the technology, you could have AI doing that 0:16:43.800 --> 0:16:46.480 in real time and then you'll you know, you'll meet 0:16:46.520 --> 0:16:48.560 the person mowing your lawn or fixing your roof or 0:16:48.600 --> 0:16:51.840 whatever the heck you're doing, you know, fishing guide whatever 0:16:51.880 --> 0:16:55.200 you do with completely illiterate right. 0:16:55.360 --> 0:16:58.960 Yeah, So the big story today is the Trump national 0:16:58.960 --> 0:17:02.720 security team accidentally including a journalist on their super private 0:17:02.800 --> 0:17:05.240 string of how we're going to attack the hu Thies 0:17:05.280 --> 0:17:09.040 and when and whether the actual conversation in the differing 0:17:09.119 --> 0:17:12.640 opinions and philosophies within the Trump team super interesting. 0:17:12.680 --> 0:17:14.320 We'll take a look at that in the moment. 0:17:15.240 --> 0:17:16.399 Armstrong and Getty. 0:17:18.080 --> 0:17:22.879 So there just coincidentally with this mini scandal or Maxi scandal, 0:17:22.920 --> 0:17:26.240 depending on how it turns out. Going on around intelligence, 0:17:26.920 --> 0:17:32.359 the big Senate hearing today where all the intelligence heads 0:17:32.440 --> 0:17:34.920 come in and talk about the biggest threats around the world. 0:17:35.320 --> 0:17:36.919 I love this every year and we always end up 0:17:36.920 --> 0:17:38.880 talking about it because lots of interesting stuff comes out 0:17:38.880 --> 0:17:41.480 of but because he had this kind of scandal thing happen, 0:17:41.720 --> 0:17:43.480 which is about if you don't know what we're talking about, 0:17:43.480 --> 0:17:45.840 it's about to be laid up by Mark Warner, Democrat, 0:17:45.920 --> 0:17:48.960 co chair of this committee. Democrats have something to talk 0:17:49.000 --> 0:17:52.880 about for the first time practically in the second Trump administration, 0:17:52.960 --> 0:17:54.640 and they're so excited about it. 0:17:54.680 --> 0:17:55.400 But here it goes. 0:17:55.680 --> 0:18:01.280 And according to reports, two of our witnesses here today were. 0:18:01.160 --> 0:18:02.720 Members of a group chat. 0:18:04.320 --> 0:18:10.760 To discussed highly sensitive and likely classified information that supposedly 0:18:10.800 --> 0:18:16.480 even included weapons packages, targets, and timing, and included the 0:18:16.560 --> 0:18:21.520 name of an active CIA agent. There's plenty of declassified 0:18:21.520 --> 0:18:27.080 information the shows that our adversaries China and Russia are 0:18:27.119 --> 0:18:30.280 trying to break in two encrypted systems like signal. 0:18:32.040 --> 0:18:33.480 I can just say this, if this. 0:18:35.160 --> 0:18:41.440 Was the case of a military officer, oh boy, or 0:18:41.480 --> 0:18:44.720 an intelligence officer and they had this kind of behavior, they. 0:18:44.640 --> 0:18:46.400 Would be spared. Perfect. 0:18:46.760 --> 0:18:48.880 That is perfect for what I'm about to talk about here. 0:18:48.960 --> 0:18:52.280 Mark Warner walked into that. Here he downed two double 0:18:52.440 --> 0:18:55.440 espressos and took a viagra. He was so excited about 0:18:55.440 --> 0:18:58.400 getting in there and laying it to the Trump administration. 0:18:58.520 --> 0:19:01.480 But somebody pointed this out on and it's absolutely true. 0:19:02.320 --> 0:19:05.080 You just gotta love the rich. Only in Washington, irony 0:19:05.200 --> 0:19:08.680 of one Republicans who tormented Hillary Clinton for her private 0:19:08.680 --> 0:19:11.120 e mail service scandal, now trying to downplay what could 0:19:11.119 --> 0:19:13.160 be some sort of breach a sense of info, while 0:19:13.160 --> 0:19:16.880 at the same time Democrats pouncing on this controversy after 0:19:16.960 --> 0:19:21.080 defending Clinton's email bruhaha for years. The Ours will argue 0:19:21.080 --> 0:19:23.520 these episodes are not equal. The Dems will argue these 0:19:23.560 --> 0:19:26.320 are not equal, and that's where we are. But him 0:19:26.320 --> 0:19:29.640 bringing up any regulars, I have heard this before. Any 0:19:29.760 --> 0:19:32.080 regular man in uniform would have been court martialed for 0:19:32.119 --> 0:19:33.400 this exactly. 0:19:32.960 --> 0:19:36.280 The same thing we said on the other side, right right, exactly. 0:19:36.400 --> 0:19:41.080 I had just seen that Hillary herself was commenting, Hillary, 0:19:41.200 --> 0:19:43.600 do you even know what irony is? 0:19:44.040 --> 0:19:47.400 Can you please set this one out, just this one, 0:19:47.520 --> 0:19:48.840 wipe it like with a cloth. 0:19:49.600 --> 0:19:56.200 Oh my, it's all too much, it is so Look, 0:19:56.440 --> 0:19:58.119 this is not a good deal. 0:19:58.280 --> 0:19:59.439 It's not a good look. 0:20:00.359 --> 0:20:04.240 It's certainly not a security protocol to include Jeffrey freaking 0:20:04.320 --> 0:20:08.480 Goldberg in this stuff. I suspect the course will be 0:20:08.520 --> 0:20:11.920 corrected and this will not happen again. But we've talked 0:20:11.960 --> 0:20:14.760 about that a fair amount, and there's more to develop, 0:20:14.800 --> 0:20:17.240 I suppose in the days to come, and we will 0:20:17.280 --> 0:20:21.400 cover it for you. But I found this just irresistibly interesting, 0:20:21.800 --> 0:20:27.879 the actual conversations and the polls of power and philosophy, 0:20:27.920 --> 0:20:30.960 if you will, within the Trump national security team, and 0:20:31.040 --> 0:20:34.359 it strikes me as a very team of rivals thing. 0:20:34.480 --> 0:20:37.760 And I'll describe some of the specifics before I babble 0:20:37.800 --> 0:20:39.359 on more about what I think about it. 0:20:39.400 --> 0:20:41.359 But I, by the way, I've had a complete change 0:20:41.359 --> 0:20:43.040 of heart on this whole topic. 0:20:43.640 --> 0:20:46.600 Really, Yes, you're holding out on us or are you 0:20:46.600 --> 0:20:47.440 gonna hit us with that. 0:20:47.920 --> 0:20:49.680 I've brushed up against in the last couple of weeks, 0:20:49.680 --> 0:20:52.040 but I'm now It's one of the few major issues 0:20:52.040 --> 0:20:54.320 I've changed my mind on in adulthood, but this is 0:20:54.359 --> 0:20:54.840 one of them. 0:20:55.240 --> 0:21:03.080 Okay, fine, So anyway, the news, according to the comment 0:21:03.160 --> 0:21:05.639 here in the Wall Street Journal editorial board, was that 0:21:05.680 --> 0:21:08.600 the characters played to their public type, their public image, 0:21:08.640 --> 0:21:12.760 and I would agree. National Security Advisor Mike Walls came 0:21:12.800 --> 0:21:17.479 out for US leadership said, no, we've this is our 0:21:17.560 --> 0:21:19.679 role in the world. It's important that we do it, 0:21:19.680 --> 0:21:22.879
