• 1:10

  Speaker 4: this chain from someone who claims to be Pete Hegseip,
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: who provides what I would only call it I can
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: only call a warplan. I sort of just sort of
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: wait with my phone to see if this is a
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: real thing. Sure enough, and around one fifty Eastern time,
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: I see that Yemen is under attack.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: The White House confirmed the messages Goldberg reported were authentic.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: Hegseth then went after and dismissed the reporting itself. Nobody
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: just sting war plans.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: And that's all I have to say about that.
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: Jesus Christ, that was ABC News for the report at
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: this point? Who is God letting executive produce America? This
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: dramedy is hilarious?

  Speaker 2: Is it?
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: Lauren Michaels, maybe even Key and Peel, the Wayne's brothers,
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: Dave Chappelle and Neil Brennan. Maybe I don't know. Look,
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: I don't even know how satire is even a thing nowadays,
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: because his life itself is a spoof. Now, remember what
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: I said earlier, Mike Waltz is taking full responsibility. Let's listen.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: It's embarrassing. Yes, we're going to get to the bottom
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: of it. We have. I just talked to Elon on
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: the way here. We've got the best technical minds looking
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: at how this happened. But I can tell you I
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: don't know this guy. I know him by his horrible
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: reputation and he really is the bottom scum of journalists,
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: and I know him in the sense that he hates
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: the president. But I don't text him. He went on
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: my phone. And we're going to figure out how this is.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: So you don't know what staffer is responsible for this
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: right now? Well, look he staffer wasn't responsible. And look,
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: I take full responsibility. I built the I built the
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: group to my job is to make sure everything's coordinated.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: But how that's a cute. I mean, I don't mean
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: to be pedantic here, but how did the number. Have
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: you ever had Have you ever had somebody's contact that
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: shows their name and then you have an and then
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: you have somebody else's. Right, You've got somebody else's number
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: on someone else's contact. So of course I didn't see
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: this loser in the group. It looked like someone else. Now,
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: whether he did it deliberately or it happened in some
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: other technical means something we're trying to figure out.
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: First of all, that's an O mission of guilt. Okay,
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: Mike Wall said, I take full responsibility. I built the group.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: My job is to make sure everything is coordinated. Cool,
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: So now Trump knows who to fire, right. This level
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: of incompetence can't be corrected with it my bad. I
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: mean we're talking classified military plans being discussed over signal. Well,
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: WhatsApp wasn't available sidebar. I've had so many people try
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: to get me on signals since Signal and Signaling, and
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: I never understood why people wanted to get on that app.
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: When people say it's because you can have top secret
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: conversations and nobody can see them mis encrypted, I'm like,
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: y'all really believe that. Okay, that's actually the easiest way
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: to get people's information. If I wanted to get everybody's
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: top secret compos I would create an app that's available
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: for anyone to download, and I would tell them everything
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: on here is secret and nobody will see it. And boom,
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: now I got you in your top secret war plans. Now,
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: Mike Waltz has accepted full responsibility. Okay, this is what
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: he said. But I need y'all to understand that when
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: you accept full responsibility, that means you and you alone
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: are responsible. Mike Wafts didn't do that. In fact, all
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: he did was blame Jeffrey Golbert, who didn't have to
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: be in his group chat to begin with. Let's hear
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: that again.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: I don't know this guy. I know him by his
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: horrible reputation and he really is a bottom scum of journalists.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: And I know him in the sense that he hates
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: the President. But I don't text him. He went on
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: my phone and we're going to figure out how this happens.
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: This is not what full responsibility looks like. Okay, this
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: is not what taking full responsibility looks like.
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: Mike.
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: You already said you are the person who coordinated you
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: and you alone invited Jeffrey Goldberg to this group chat.
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: Imagine being the person who got invited somewhere they didn't
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: want to be in the first place. Okay, the party
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: is trash and the party promoted blames.
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: You for the party being whack.
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: I didn't even have to be here. Okay, if I'm
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: such a loser, why do you have my number to
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: begin with? Why would you have your boss's ops and
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: your phone? You said I'm an antagonist of Trump. No,
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: I'm a person who calls our bs when I see it.
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: And this guy, Jeffrey Goldberg, was exposed to the incompetence
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: of some of our top us officials, and he decided
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: to do the right thing and share that with the public. Okay,
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: Mike Waltz, I would have respected it if you would
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: have said this was stupid. We were incompetent. I was incompetent.
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: It's my fault. Therefore I'm stepping down. But no, that's
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: not what anyone in the Trump administration likes to do.
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: They take all the credit when something is good and
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: deflect and blame others when something goes wrong. Mike Waltz,
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: Mike Waltz, Mike Waltz, Always remember it's easy to blame
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: others when things are broken. The hard part is recognizing
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: the part in it all. Please give Mike Walts, the
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: National Security Advisor, the biggest he hull. All right, square
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: up with you so bad? No, I don't. I just
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: think that it's ridiculous to say you take full responsibility
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: for something, but then as you're taking full responsibility, and
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: I put that in their quotes, you're blaming the other person.
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: And the fact that our top US officials are discussing
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: military plans on signal.
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: Ye, signal men.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: Always been done in the group chat.
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: That's been a thing for centuries.
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: You know what, You're absolutely right, You're absolutely right.
• 6:35
