17

Speaker 3: Security Advisor Mike Waltz. They added Jeffrey Goldberg to a

18
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 3: signal platform messaging group where classified military plans were being discussed.

19
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 3: I can't make this kind of stuff up. Let's go

20
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 3: to the news repot please.

21
00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 1: It's one of the most bizarre and potentially consequential national

22
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:04,959
Speaker 1: security lapses to reach the public forum. Top Trump administration officials,

23
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:09,839
Speaker 1: including national security Advisor Mike Waltz, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth,

24
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 1: Vice President JD. Vance, and Director of National Intelligence Toolsey

25
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:17,280

26
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 1: Huthis and Yemen before putting it into action. The chat

27
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 1: over the unauthorized encrypted messaging app Signal accidentally invited in

28
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:30,400
Speaker 1: on the conversation. Editor in chief of The Atlantic, Jeffrey Goldberg.

29
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,959
Speaker 4: At eleven forty four am. I receive a text in

30
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:36,399
Speaker 4: this chain from someone who claims to be Pete Hegseip,

31
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:39,759
Speaker 4: who provides what I would only call it I can

32
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 4: only call a warplan. I sort of just sort of

33
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 4: wait with my phone to see if this is a

34
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 4: real thing. Sure enough, and around one fifty Eastern time,

35
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 4: I see that Yemen is under attack.

36
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 1: The White House confirmed the messages Goldberg reported were authentic.

37
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 1: Hegseth then went after and dismissed the reporting itself. Nobody

38
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 1: just sting war plans.

39
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 2: And that's all I have to say about that.

40
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 3: Jesus Christ, that was ABC News for the report at

41
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 3: this point? Who is God letting executive produce America? This

42
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 3: dramedy is hilarious?

43
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 2: Is it?

44
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:14,080
Speaker 3: Lauren Michaels, maybe even Key and Peel, the Wayne's brothers,

45
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:16,640
Speaker 3: Dave Chappelle and Neil Brennan. Maybe I don't know. Look,

46
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 3: I don't even know how satire is even a thing nowadays,

47
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 3: because his life itself is a spoof. Now, remember what

48
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 3: I said earlier, Mike Waltz is taking full responsibility. Let's listen.

49
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,640
Speaker 2: It's embarrassing. Yes, we're going to get to the bottom

50
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 2: of it. We have. I just talked to Elon on

51
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:37,800
Speaker 2: the way here. We've got the best technical minds looking

52
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 2: at how this happened. But I can tell you I

53
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 2: don't know this guy. I know him by his horrible

54
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,519
Speaker 2: reputation and he really is the bottom scum of journalists,

55
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 2: and I know him in the sense that he hates

56
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 2: the president. But I don't text him. He went on

57
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 2: my phone. And we're going to figure out how this is.

58
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 2: So you don't know what staffer is responsible for this

59
00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 2: right now? Well, look he staffer wasn't responsible. And look,

60
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 2: I take full responsibility. I built the I built the

61
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:06,239
Speaker 2: group to my job is to make sure everything's coordinated.

62
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 2: But how that's a cute. I mean, I don't mean

63
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 2: to be pedantic here, but how did the number. Have

64
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 2: you ever had Have you ever had somebody's contact that

65
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 2: shows their name and then you have an and then

66
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 2: you have somebody else's. Right, You've got somebody else's number

67
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 2: on someone else's contact. So of course I didn't see

68
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 2: this loser in the group. It looked like someone else. Now,

69
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 2: whether he did it deliberately or it happened in some

70
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 2: other technical means something we're trying to figure out.

71
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:32,360
Speaker 3: First of all, that's an O mission of guilt. Okay,

72
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 3: Mike Wall said, I take full responsibility. I built the group.

73
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 3: My job is to make sure everything is coordinated. Cool,

74
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 3: So now Trump knows who to fire, right. This level

75
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 3: of incompetence can't be corrected with it my bad. I

76
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 3: mean we're talking classified military plans being discussed over signal. Well,

77
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 3: WhatsApp wasn't available sidebar. I've had so many people try

78
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 3: to get me on signals since Signal and Signaling, and

79
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 3: I never understood why people wanted to get on that app.

80
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 3: When people say it's because you can have top secret

81
00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 3: conversations and nobody can see them mis encrypted, I'm like,

82
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 3: y'all really believe that. Okay, that's actually the easiest way

83
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 3: to get people's information. If I wanted to get everybody's

84
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 3: top secret compos I would create an app that's available

85
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 3: for anyone to download, and I would tell them everything

86
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 3: on here is secret and nobody will see it. And boom,

87
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,719
Speaker 3: now I got you in your top secret war plans. Now,

88
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:23,279
Speaker 3: Mike Waltz has accepted full responsibility. Okay, this is what

89
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 3: he said. But I need y'all to understand that when

90
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 3: you accept full responsibility, that means you and you alone

91
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 3: are responsible. Mike Wafts didn't do that. In fact, all

92
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 3: he did was blame Jeffrey Golbert, who didn't have to

93
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 3: be in his group chat to begin with. Let's hear

94
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 3: that again.

95
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 2: I don't know this guy. I know him by his

96
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:43,920
Speaker 2: horrible reputation and he really is a bottom scum of journalists.

97
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:46,920
Speaker 2: And I know him in the sense that he hates

98
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 2: the President. But I don't text him. He went on

99
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 2: my phone and we're going to figure out how this happens.

100
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 3: This is not what full responsibility looks like. Okay, this

101
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:57,479
Speaker 3: is not what taking full responsibility looks like.

102
00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 4: Mike.

103
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 3: You already said you are the person who coordinated you

104
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 3: and you alone invited Jeffrey Goldberg to this group chat.

105
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:05,679
Speaker 3: Imagine being the person who got invited somewhere they didn't

106
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 3: want to be in the first place. Okay, the party

107
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,160
Speaker 3: is trash and the party promoted blames.

108
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:12,600
Speaker 4: You for the party being whack.

109
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 3: I didn't even have to be here. Okay, if I'm

110
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 3: such a loser, why do you have my number to

111
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 3: begin with? Why would you have your boss's ops and

112
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,720
Speaker 3: your phone? You said I'm an antagonist of Trump. No,

113
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:23,839
Speaker 3: I'm a person who calls our bs when I see it.

114
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:27,280
Speaker 3: And this guy, Jeffrey Goldberg, was exposed to the incompetence

115
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,599
Speaker 3: of some of our top us officials, and he decided

116
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 3: to do the right thing and share that with the public. Okay,

117
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 3: Mike Waltz, I would have respected it if you would

118
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:39,479
Speaker 3: have said this was stupid. We were incompetent. I was incompetent.

119
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 3: It's my fault. Therefore I'm stepping down. But no, that's

120
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 3: not what anyone in the Trump administration likes to do.

121
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 3: They take all the credit when something is good and

122
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:52,239
Speaker 3: deflect and blame others when something goes wrong. Mike Waltz,

123
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,799
Speaker 3: Mike Waltz, Mike Waltz, Always remember it's easy to blame

124
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 3: others when things are broken. The hard part is recognizing

125
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 3: the part in it all. Please give Mike Walts, the

126
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 3: National Security Advisor, the biggest he hull. All right, square

127
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 3: up with you so bad? No, I don't. I just

128
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 3: think that it's ridiculous to say you take full responsibility

129
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 3: for something, but then as you're taking full responsibility, and

130
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 3: I put that in their quotes, you're blaming the other person.

131
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:26,040
Speaker 3: And the fact that our top US officials are discussing

132
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 3: military plans on signal.

133
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:29,480

Speaker 3: You know what, You're absolutely right, You're absolutely right.

137
