44
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,959

45
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 5: Republicans have unfettered control of Washington just about and all

46
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 5: of the Congressional committees that would lead potential investigations into

47
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 5: something of this nature are run by Republicans. At the

00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 5: same time Democrats are braying for consequences, they see an

49
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 5: opportunity to move on to the front foot politically after

50
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,080
Speaker 5: being really on the back foot for the entirety of

51

Speaker 4: In other words, they've charged us so much that I'm

64
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 4: embarrassed to charge them what they've charged us.

65
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 5: But it'll be substantial and you'll be hearing about that.

Speaker 3: year rather than cho with tariff's impeding progress on disinflation.

87
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 8: So I was a too. I moved to one mainly

88
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 8: because I think we're going to see inflation be very

89
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 8: bumpy and not moved dramatically and in a clear way

90
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:48,239
Speaker 8: to the two percent target, because that's being pushed back.

91
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,480
Speaker 8: I think the appropriate path for policy is also going

92
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 8: to have to be pushed back and getting us to

93
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:53,960

206
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,560
Speaker 2: Good morning. I'm Nathan Hager, and the White House appears

207
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 2: to be in damage control after Atlantic Magazine Editor in

208
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:02,839
Speaker 2: chief jeff Free Goldberg posted a lengthy story saying he

209
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:06,440
Speaker 2: was included in a high level text chain about plans

210
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 2: to attack the Houthis in Yemen. While the Whitehouse says

211
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:13,079
Speaker 2: the messages in Goldberg's story of pure authentic, Defense Secretary

212
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:16,840
Speaker 2: Pete Hegseth says, quote, nobody was texting war plans.

213
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:20,840
Speaker 13: This is the guy the pedals in garbage. What he does.

214
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 2: I would love to comment on the hoothy campaign, and

215
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:27,720
Speaker 2: that was Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth commenting in Hawaii after

216
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 2: this story broke in Washington, and we're joined now by

217
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:34,199
Speaker 2: Bloomberg New Senior editor Bill Ferries. Bill from what Jeffrey

218
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 2: Goldberg is reporting in this lengthy story on the Atlantic

219
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 2: website it is difficult to say if we have seen

220
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 2: a breach like this before.

221
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 13: Good morning, Hey, good morning, Nathan.

222
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 10: Yeah.

223
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 13: Really just jaw dropping story there from Jeffrey Goldberg, just

224
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 13: you know, giving insights into how this signal group was

225
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 13: created and what they were discussing, not realizing that there

226
00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 13: was a journalist invited into the group with them, and

227
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 13: Goldberg talks about how he wasn't sure if this was

228
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 13: you know, a hoax and attempt at fishing temp against

229
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:12,560
Speaker 13: him or something else until he's sitting in the parking

230
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 13: lot after hearing that strikes are about to be unleashed

231
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 13: on Yemen and he's waiting and waiting, and then goes

232
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 13: on to Twitter to see the first reports confirming that

233
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 13: basically everything he'd been seeing unspool on his signal app

234
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:32,680
Speaker 13: was true. So really shocking breach of security norms and

235
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 13: also a huge embarrassment for an administration that has really

236
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 13: kind of campaigned and tried to well. I was taken

237
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 13: pride in what it says is it's you know, strong,

238
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 13: strong position against security breaches.

239
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 2: I mean yeah, I mean it goes into the idea

240
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 2: that the Pentagon has said it was going to go

241
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:55,199
Speaker 2: after leakers the last time there was I mean, there

242
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 2: wasn't an incident like this. But when details about Elon

243
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 2: Musk going to the Pentagon a meeting came out, Defense

244
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 2: Secretary heg Seth came out and said that they were

245
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 2: going to really go after the leakers. I mean, what

246
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:08,559
Speaker 2: could that mean for this message?

247
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:11,680
Speaker 13: Well, it's gonna you know, I think we're still going

248
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 13: to see the repercussions playing out, you know again, Yeah,

249
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:18,439
Speaker 13: this administration. You know, this is a president who faced

250
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 13: charges of mishandling classified material at mar A Lago, who

251
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:27,320
Speaker 13: ran against Hillary Clinton years ago partly on criticism of

252
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 13: her decision to use a private server. So it's been

253
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 13: a part of their DNA to say that they're strong

254
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:39,840
Speaker 13: on classification and protecting national security. And to see this

255
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 13: happen with not just senior aids but really the most

256
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 13: senior aides and Marco Rubio is on their Defense Secretary

257
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 13: Pete heg Seth, Toulci Gabbard, the d and I it's

258
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 13: just really stunning, and I think it raises a lot

259
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 13: of big questions about has this happened before with other

260
00:13:57,120 --> 00:14:00,839
Speaker 13: people who were inadvertently invited into chat group? Why are

261
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 13: they discussing such sensitive information in a chat app like Signal.

262
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 13: I don't think it's any secret that Washington officials like

263
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 13: to use messaging apps, but you typically do it for

264
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:18,120
Speaker 13: scheduling meetings and other kind of not top secret issues.

265
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 13: To go into battle plans is something really we haven't

266
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 13: seen before.

267
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 2: In the early moments here, Bill, we've seen sort of

268
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:30,880
Speaker 2: circling the wagons around National Security Advisor Mike Waltz, who

269
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 2: Goldberg says invited him into this chat. But can we

270
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 2: see heads roll over this, or at least can we

271
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 2: see hearings over this?

272
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 13: I think for sure we're going to see hearings. I mean,

273
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 13: just by a remarkable stroke of timing. You know, you

274
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 13: have the heads of the intelligence agencies, including D and

275
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 13: I Gabbert expected up on the Hill twice this week

276
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 13: to talk about worldwide threats. But you're right, I think

277
00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 13: there's gonna be a lot of questions about Mike Waltz.

278
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 13: I think the indications we're getting from the White House

279
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 13: is that they're going to see how this plays out.

280
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 13: He's already lasted longer than Donald Trump's first national security

281
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 13: advisor in his first term, Michael Flynn lasted but This

282
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 13: is a huge breach by the person who's seen as

283
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 13: supposed to be really the arbiter of the national security

284
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 13: agencies for the White House.

285
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 2: Just thirty seconds left. Bill, What could this mean for

286
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 2: information sharing among allies?

287
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:28,680
Speaker 13: Yeah, I think it's going to raise a lot of

288
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 13: questions among other countries about what they can share and

289
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 13: with the US whether they can trust it. But the

290
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 13: reality is other countries, even a European allies, they rely

291
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 13: a lot more on US intelligence than the US relies

292
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 13: on them. So it will probably still be in their

293
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 13: benefit to share info, but I think it's going to

294
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 13: raise some questions about how much they share.
