Speaker 1 (00:00):
Signal Gate explodes.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
Democrats say it's war against the Republicans, all to deflect
from President Trump accomplishing what he promised you would do.
The game is afoot here and are did they really
just say that? Clips from this week.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
I'm Nancy Shack, I'm Ben Parker.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
This is news by.
Speaker 4 (00:28):
Do your knowledge?
Speaker 5 (00:29):
You know whether Pete Hexa had been drinking before he
lead classified information.
Speaker 6 (00:34):
I'm going to answer that. I think that's an offensive
line of question. The answer is no. I find it
interesting that you want to know. I'm going to answer
you answer me a question you want to answer no, Listen,
I don't want to focus on the good work that
the CIA is doing, that the intelligence community directors.
Speaker 7 (00:53):
I mean like this dude has the knots over the head,
like hard right, like there is no.
Speaker 8 (00:59):
Nice of these.
Speaker 9 (01:00):
Is there anything that you think Trump is done?
Speaker 10 (01:01):
Right?
Speaker 11 (01:02):
Yeah?
Speaker 12 (01:02):
I made.
Speaker 11 (01:03):
I think cracking down on fetanl, making sure our borders
are strong. Nobody thinks illegal immigration is appropriate.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
That was Senator Bernie Sanders, Progressive.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
I come from Vermont.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Praising yes, you heard it correctly, praising President Trump on
the border.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
By the way, he did say, you know, nobody thinks
that illegal immigration, you know, like he's he's basically saying
everybody's against illegal immigrants being here, but also.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
Said Trump did a good job.
Speaker 10 (01:34):
Right.
Speaker 4 (01:34):
No, No, he did praise him. He Trump. I just
at the end I found that saying what he said,
there's plenty of people who are like over the borders,
let them all in.
Speaker 10 (01:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
So yeah, President Biden was one of them, which is
something that Bernie Sanders actually referenced in the full cut
cut number twelve.
Speaker 9 (01:49):
Please is there anything that you think Trump is done?
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Right?
Speaker 11 (01:52):
Yeah, I made I think cracking down on fetanl, making
sure our borders are stronger. Nobody thinks illegal immigration is appropriate. Now,
I have to think we need comprehensive immigration reform. But
I don't think it it's appropriate for people to be
coming across the border illegally. So we've got to work
now on comprehensive immigration reform. The idea that Trump has,
I don't know what his latest lumpsize. He wants to
(02:14):
deport twenty million people who are in this country who
are undocumented. Well, you do that, you destroy the entire country.
Because I got news for you, Trump's billionaire friends. I'm
not going to pick the crops in California that feed us.
They're not going to work in meat packing houses. That's
what undocumented people are doing. So we need a variety
of programs, guest worker programs, but mostly comprehensive immigration reform.
Speaker 9 (02:37):
But you know, illegal immigration, it exploded under Biden, and
it had been high for times under Trump as well,
but it exploded under Biden. Nothing was really done until
his last year in office when he was yep.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
Should have done much better. No argument, I hate to well,
I don't hate you. I agree with Bernie Standers on
most of what he said. I agree, I think, and
we've said this before this show. We will agree with
people when they're right. We don't just necessarily disagree with
people for the sake of disagreeing with him. Bernie Sanders
is right. Bernie Sanders is right. By the way, if
he's wrong, he's wrong, and more times than not he's wrong.
(03:10):
But whatever. The one thing that he said, which is
kind of the talking point amongst those who like illegal
immigrants here is they switch the gear, right, Well, we
don't want illegal immigrants here, but undocumented ones are okay.
In a second, I mean they're the same thing. It's interchangeable.
They're synonyms. It's just a kinder, gentler way to say
(03:33):
someone's here illegally. Well, they don't have any documents, so
I don't like that. And then look, he's right about
we need some some kind of comprehensive something or other
going on, but you can't have a stop illegals. But
be okay with undocumenteds. They're the same thing. Now, if
you want to say the people who are picking fruit,
(03:55):
it can stay here. Okay, put that in your your
comprehensive plan. But it's just it's it's offensive to people
with a half a brain. Are you here illegally or
are you here undocumented? Doesn't matter, same thing.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Yeah, I don't disagree with you. But I think the
most astonishing thing from that cut is the fact that
you know, Senator Bernie Sanders said that Trump did something right,
and he's not the only one.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
This is.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
I want you to hear John Sandberg say, sorry, Sandwag.
He's the former Obama ice director and he was on
News Nation and he said, listen, Trump did something we
couldn't do. Cut number ten.
Speaker 13 (04:29):
I think what we're going to find here is that
the outcomes maybe this year are not so dramatically different. Certainly,
let's say, compared to the Obama years. I don't think
it's fair to compare to the Biden years because for
the for until the last six months of the Biden administration,
we had a completely different border. We had hundreds of
thousands of people across and taking making asylum claims that
bogs down Ice in their internal operation. Do you think
(04:50):
Trump and Obama are kind of comparable in some weird
ways on immigration in some ways? No, No, because Obama
we had a very targeted approach focused on criminals, and
we were lasered in on that and the border. This
he's got a dead border and he's really focused on
I think the big difference, Connell is he's trying to
do really not just a mass deportation, but a self deportation.
I think you've seen that in the rhetoric they've really shifted.
(05:12):
They're overtly discussing that. And then what they're trying to
do is by taking all of the guard reels off,
is create a climate of fear where more people are
going to self deport.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
More people are going to self deport. It's working.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
What he's doing is working. And the interesting thing is
you know, the more. And it's other things besides immigration.
Businesses are pouring in because of the tariffs. You've got
huge car companies coming and starting to build factories here
so they don't have to pay lob the tariffs onto
cars that they want to sell here.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
There's a lot of things that are going right.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
And the more that President Trump is successful, the more
the Democrats become panicky. They are overwhelmed. I think they
were overwhelmed when they lost the election. They couldn't understand why.
They still don't understand why they are completely out of
touch with the American people. And so what's happened is
they've become enraged and and they come out with these
(06:07):
bizarre statements, just absolutely bizarre statements that are meant to
turn you against President Trump. But instead what they're tending
to do is they they make you look at the
person who utters the stamic going what is wrong with you?
Speaker 1 (06:20):
I'll give you an example.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
This is of somebody who can't understand why why Trump
supporters are going maya Kulpa cut fifteen.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
This is Anna Navarro on the view.
Speaker 14 (06:32):
Police departments in South Florida are signing cooperation agreements to
be deputized as Ice when we you know, I keep
I keep thinking, Okay, this is.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Going to change the way, folks.
Speaker 14 (06:45):
They're gleeful. Everybody I know who voted for Trump is
gleeful and supportive of everything he's doing.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Yeah, because it's working. But it's working.
Speaker 4 (06:54):
By the way, everybody who voted wildmore say everybody, because
never say everybody, But most of the people voted for
Joe Biden were gleeful with all the stuff he did
because they liked it.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
They bought into it.
Speaker 4 (07:08):
Reagan, same for Bush shaving. Of course they vote for someone,
you're happy when they do stuff.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
But yeah, but she's she's she's thinking like, well, you know,
how how can they like his success? Well, because that's
why they voted for him, that he would He promised
to do things. He's actually doing them, and that's why
people are happy.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
And there is a difference. By the way, I need
to point to this side. Well I probably don't need
to to most people listening, but I'm going to anyway.
It Look, there's a huge difference between being against illegal
immigration and being against immigration. I'm very much for immigration.
Let's have more immigrants, but cut the crap with the
just walking across the border and saying, oh, I'm here.
Speaker 15 (07:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
I don't want to give too bog down an immigration
because to me, the point of these cuts is the
fact that they don't understand why people support Donald Trump.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
So I think most people say, and I'm going to
give you another example. It doesn't have men to do
with immigration.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
But most people, yes, of course if they agree with
if they voted for Donald Trump and he does what
he said he would do, well, of course they're going
to be happening.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Of course, absolutely.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
So this is joy read on Don Lemon. And this
is an example of what I was talking about. When
people make these bizarre statements thinking that they can turn
you against Donald Trump by ascribing weird crap to him.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
This is cutt number sixteen.
Speaker 8 (08:21):
You can't make Canada the fifty first state without going
to war with them. And let me explain how that happened,
how that worked out. The last time we tried to
go to war with Canada, they burned the White House
to the ground in eighteen fourteen.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
And won the war.
Speaker 16 (08:36):
Canada beat us in the War of eighteen twelve. They
probably like their chances against us. We're not gonna beat
them in a war because we have never been able
to do that. You'd have to occupy a country that
is equivalent of the size of the United States, in
which the top two thirds of it is uninhabited, frozen
(08:57):
forest land that touches the Arctic.
Speaker 8 (09:00):
You know how that worked out when the Nazis tried
that with Russia, which is the equivalent of Canada.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
On that part of the world.
Speaker 14 (09:10):
We don't lose.
Speaker 8 (09:11):
We don't have enough troops to occupy. They are a
country of thirty nine million people who have about as
many guns per capita.
Speaker 4 (09:20):
As we do.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
There's so many things kickering that you heard was Don Lemon.
He was snickering in the background.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
That was bizarre. But here's the thing.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
We didn't beat can They can even beat us in
the War of eighteen twelve. That was the British British
that was not Canada, first of all. Secondly, so you're
gonna compare a ballad eighteen twelve to twenty twenty five
to one and two and who the hell says we
want to invade Canada? Are you nut?
Speaker 4 (09:44):
That's only by the way, what you just said is
only like the top three things she said wrong. Yeah,
I could go on for a month.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
But she wants you to believe that that is Donald
Trump's plan, because if you believe that, then of course
she'll go, you're not gonna you're gonna think, oh my god,
did I vote for them?
Speaker 6 (09:57):
Man?
Speaker 1 (09:57):
I can't support him anymore.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
She's a freaking a tick and she thinks you are
stupid and you're going.
Speaker 4 (10:03):
To be stupid, but not for that. Yeah, I mean,
I'll admit I'm stupid, but not that, not that stupid.
I don't get Well, look, she's preaching to the ever
ever smaller choir when when they say stuffing like that, point, Yeah,
it's like you can barely hear it singing. Hello, anybody
singing in the choir.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Well, and she's not the only one. This is Maxine Waters,
Congresswoman Maxine Water. She's at an anti Trump rally in LA.
She's suggesting that, given Donald trumpston on immigration, that we
should look into deporting Milania Trump. The first lady cut
thirty one.
Speaker 17 (10:37):
If he was this god looking so closely to find
those who were born here and their parents were undocumented,
maybe out of person.
Speaker 18 (10:46):
Getting Milannia out.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
We all know whether or not her parents were document
and maybe we'd better just take a look.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Well, okay, first of all, Milan Trump was not born
in the United States. She was in fact, neither were
her parents, and they all immigrated here, all of them.
Malania came then her parents came legally with green cards.
So there's the Maxine has no freaking idea which he's
talking about. And can I just point out that this
(11:20):
is an example of how much Donald Trump loves immigrants.
He doesn't hate immigrants. He hates illegal immigrants, especially if
they are in fact criminal and members of gangs. He
loves immigrants. He's married to an immigrant, not the first
one either, his first wife was also an immigrant.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
So I mean, this is just bizarre, bizarre, And they think.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
That this is going to resonate with the American people.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
This is what they believe is going to make you
support them instead of supporting, you know, one of them.
Speaker 4 (11:53):
It resonates with the couple one hundred or a couple
of dozen people who show up for some of these rallies.
And I know, look, there's a lot of issues. And
you say, you know, we don't want to spend a
lot of time on immigration. Okay, fine, because but there's
so many issues, Like there are people who agree wholeheartedly
with getting rid of illegal criminal immigrants, but at the
same time they disagree with Donald Trump on some of
(12:14):
his stands on LGBTQ, or on economics or different things.
So you don't have to agree with Donald Trump on everything,
but God almighty, some of these people don't want to
give him credit for anything. Not a save save Bernie Sanders,
who actually did.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
Yeah, and an Obamas guy who's like, he's getting people
to depoor it. But you know, but this is how
hysterical they are. They make these bizarre statements, and not
only are they doing that, then they're calling for violence.
You have elected members of the US Congress calling for
violence and a governor calling for violence against against people
(12:48):
who they don't agree with. I'm going to give you
here's an example. This is Illinois Governor J. B.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
Pritzker.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
He's speaking at a human rights campaign convention and says
he doesn't think that we should contain you with conventional
political fights. We need to be street fighters. Cut thirty five.
Speaker 18 (13:05):
Despite my own experience with this president back in twenty
nineteen and twenty twenty, and my own warnings to the
public on the campaign trail last year, I hope that
some part of Donald Trump's cruel nature would bow to
two and a half centuries of tradition. For ten years,
ever since Donald Trump descended that ridiculous gold escalator to
(13:30):
announce his entrance into the political world, I hoped that
the Republican Party would seek out and find its better angels.
Hope is a delicate and wonderful thing, a seed that
we should never stop planting. But I won't let hope
be a blindfold, and I won't continue to advocate that
we wage a conventional political fight when what we really
(13:54):
need is to become street fighters.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
That's violent. That's a dog was for violence. I mean,
oh my god.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Talk about a smarmy, patronizing jackass. And then on top
of that, this is Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett. She you heard
this in the openings. This was on NBC five in Dallas.
She was calling for Ted Cruz to be knocked over
the head hard cut eighteen A.
Speaker 8 (14:17):
I think that you punch.
Speaker 19 (14:19):
I think you punch. I think you're okay with you
you okay with punching, you know, I think, and I
love Colin, and I think towards the end he started
to punch a little harder, but.
Speaker 4 (14:29):
Like it's Ted Cruz.
Speaker 7 (14:31):
I mean, like this dude has to be knocks over
the head like hard right, Like there is no niceties
with him, like at all, Like.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
You you go clean off on him right now.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
This is the same woman. Don't forget that last week
called for Elon muffs.
Speaker 10 (14:46):
She wanted.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
All she wanted for her birthday was for Elon musks
to be taken down. That's all she wanted.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Then here she is.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
She actually assaults a reporter who tries to ask her
a question in the hallway.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
Cut thirty four.
Speaker 17 (15:00):
You recently on a Tesla take down, who do you
like to clarify your comments as you can do violence at.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
What you're hearing is Crockett assaulting him, actually grabbing him
to shut him up. That's what she was doing. And
if that isn't bad enough, you want to know what
kind of human being she is? You know she's from Texas,
right and the governor of Texas, Greg Abbott, is in
a wheelchair. You know, he's he's paralyzed, and so she
thinks that's really funny. Cut number thirty three.
Speaker 19 (15:36):
We in these hot ass tixas streets, Honey, y'all know
we got governor hot wheels down there, come on now,
and and the only thing hot about him is that
he is a hot ass mess honey.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
I mean, it's just like, oh my god, she is
just a work. This is the current progressive leader of
the Democratic Party. This is the woman who is now
taken over for AOC as in the primary leader, calling
for violence and making fun of the handicapped.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
This is what she's been doing.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
And this is the darling of the Democratic Party. This
is what has happened to them because they cannot deal
with President Trump's success So this is the climate they
were in, right, their eyes are spinning around counterclockwise, you know,
trying to deflect from Trump's successes. Then comes are you
ready Signal Gates? And in Signal Gate, what we had
(16:38):
happened was a on signal as an app, a communications
app that the government under the Biden administration actually put
on everybody's phone and all the computers in the various
administrations so that there could be internal group chats. And
it was they're the ones who put it there. And
there you go, all right, So incomes Trump administration. Signal
(17:02):
is everywhere, they're told by the outgoing parties that be.
That signal is perfectly safe and they can use that
for internal communications. All right, there you have the base
what happened. So there is Over the weekend there was
a signal group chat including the Secretary of Defense, Pete Hagseeth,
along with Mike Waltz who's the NSA, along with the
(17:26):
Marco Rubio, Secretary of State, a few others. Secretary of
Treasury was on there and they were talking about the
Within a couple of hours, the US was about to
strike on the hoodies who have been terrorizing the golf
in the Middle East and ships, and so that's what
(17:48):
it was about. Unfortunately, included in that group chat was
a reporter, and not just a reporter, but a reporter
for The Atlantic Monthly who hates Donald Trump. He's the
guy that spread the misinformation, who lied about Donald Trump,
hating service people, who lied about a number of He's
just he's put out a lot of really lying stories
(18:12):
and he's obviously a Trump Peter and will do anything
to take down Donald Trump. So he gets he's up
for some reason, his name was included in the chat chain,
and he was included in it.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
And when he got it.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
Did he go, oh, I shouldn't be on this and
respond in kind.
Speaker 11 (18:29):
No.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
He took snapshots of the chat and then told the world, Hey,
excuse me, there's a problem here. I'm getting classified information
from Pete Heg Sath and Mike Wallace and there's a
huge security league. So that's the climate that we have.
So Pete Haig Sath, Secretary of Defense, lands on the
(18:49):
Toomak and Hawaii and the first thing he hears is
from reporter saying, excuse me, cut number two.
Speaker 15 (18:55):
Please can you share how your information about war plan
against the Houthis and Yemen was shared with a journalist
in the Atlantic and where those details classified?
Speaker 5 (19:07):
So you're talking about a deceitful and highly discredited so
called journalists who's made a profession of pedaling hoaxes time
and time again, to include the I don't know the
hopxes of Russia Russia Russia or the fine people on
both sides hopes or suckers and losers hopes.
Speaker 4 (19:29):
So this is the guy that pedals in garbage.
Speaker 5 (19:31):
This is what he does.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
So okay, So first he goes after reporters and you
can't trust him. Then he explains a little bit more
about why the why the particular details were shared on signal.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
Cut three.
Speaker 15 (19:44):
Why are those details shared on signal? And how did
you learn that a journalists was privy to the targets,
the types of weapons used.
Speaker 5 (19:52):
I've I've heard it was characterized nobody was texting war plans.
Speaker 4 (19:58):
And that's all I have to say about that.
Speaker 15 (19:59):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
So nobody was TechEd that. That's nobody was texting war plans. Okay,
So outcomes Jeffrey Goldberg. He's the Atlantic Monthly Reporter editor.
He's on MSNBC with Jensaki, and he gives his version
of what happened. Cut number four.
Speaker 12 (20:14):
I'm going to be responsible here and not disclose the
things that I read and saw. I will describe them
to you. The specific time of a future attack, specific targets,
including human targets meant to be killed in that attack,
(20:37):
weapons systems, even even weather reports or you know that
the government is is. I don't know why hexcept was
sharing it with everybody, but he.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
Was, but because he thought it was a safe thing
to use. The bigger question is who put an Atlantic
Monthly reporter on the chain? Who put him in there?
Because it doesn't happen by mistake, somebody did now the
administration says this was a mistake, but it's not as
big as it's being made out to be. President Trump
responded with Waltz was standing in the office and answered
(21:10):
the question cut one sea.
Speaker 12 (21:11):
They used a.
Speaker 15 (21:13):
A app, if you want to call it an app,
that a lot of people use, a lot of people
in government, use a lot of people in the media.
Speaker 4 (21:20):
We just want to use the best technology. This was
the best technology for the moment.
Speaker 15 (21:25):
But again, it wasn't classified, so they probably viewed it
as being something that wasn't that important that.
Speaker 8 (21:32):
Was not classified.
Speaker 19 (21:36):
Another question, Actually.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
So that's he's saying, it's not classified. They say it's
not classified. So then against what he said he would do,
Goldberg said, I can't publish this stuff because I'm a patriot.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
He been published.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
Everything was out there, and it turns out it wasn't classified.
Maybe it was sensitive, There wasn't exactly what he purported
it to be. So is this a witch hunt? Becomes
the question are they making a bigger deal out of
it that it's supposed to be. We have the Democrats
trying to ramp it up. This is Susan Rice, former
White House advisor on MSMB saying, oh my god, it's.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
The worst security debacle ever.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
Cut thirty two, Ambassador Rice putting your national security advisor
hat back on your reaction to this report.
Speaker 16 (22:19):
It's stunning.
Speaker 5 (22:21):
It's likely the biggest national security debacle that any profession
can remember.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
Yeah, except this is the woman, don't forget who brought
you Benghazi and lied about it and said it was
all about a movie when actually it was a massive
intelligence failure on behalf of Secretary of State Clinton and herself.
So you know, she's got all the credibility of a
bow eevil. But the Democrat, the Democrats are really trying
to ramp it up. Immediately they have a hearing. This
(22:49):
is Cash Patel who's being questioned by Democrat Congressman Chrissy
Hulihan out of House hearing. Jule asked about we need
an FBI investigation. Cut fourteen A.
Speaker 10 (23:01):
Another day has passed.
Speaker 4 (23:02):
You actually was the night before the hearing.
Speaker 10 (23:04):
Now that another day has passed, you believe that it's
now time potentially for the FBI to open an investigation
into this.
Speaker 4 (23:09):
I'm not going to comment on that because you're.
Speaker 10 (23:12):
The director of the FBI. You don't believe it's appropriate
to comment on.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
That because there's a process in place, there's an ongoing litigation,
and the National Security Council is reviewing this matter, and
I'm not.
Speaker 10 (23:21):
Going to discuss any open or clothing ongoing investigation. Literally,
the lawsuit happened today or yesterday afternoon, and the idea
that you don't have an opinion on this at this
point is frustrating to me.
Speaker 4 (23:32):
No, it's not. I'm not going to prejudge any matter.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
The women of the FBI will claim the balls and.
Speaker 13 (23:39):
You, sir mister, I'd like that gentleman's recognized.
Speaker 11 (23:43):
You have four seconds remaining.
Speaker 10 (23:44):
No, I have more than that.
Speaker 13 (23:45):
Two seconds remain.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
Gentleman's time has expired. Oh that tells you what they
think of Chrissy. Then you have a congressman, Jimmy Gomez deciding,
you know what, this is.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
A good time.
Speaker 4 (23:56):
Why don't we do this.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
Let's really try to turn this into a smear fast.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Let's say, hey, was Pete Hegseth actually drunk texting during
this cut sixteen B to.
Speaker 5 (24:05):
Your knowledge, do you know whether Pete hegsett had been
drinking before he lead classified information?
Speaker 10 (24:13):
I don't have any knowledge of Secretary Hegsath's personal habits.
Speaker 12 (24:18):
Director Radcliffe, same question, yes or no?
Speaker 6 (24:24):
You know no, I'm going to answer that. I think
that's an offensive line of question. The answer is no.
I find it interesting that you want to feel I'm
going to answer you answer my question. You want to
answer no.
Speaker 4 (24:36):
Listen, I don't want to.
Speaker 6 (24:37):
Focus on the good work that the CIA is doing,
that the Intelligence Community.
Speaker 4 (24:41):
Director, I want to reclaim my time. Director, I reclaimed
my time.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
They're doing their damnedest. But it's just like the administration said, Okay,
we screwed up. The reporters shouldn't have been on the chain,
but it wasn't classified information. Nobody died nothing, not only that,
the military mission was highly successful.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
So we made a mistake. We're not doing it.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
We're not using the app anymore, and we'll find out
who put the Atlantic Reporter on the email chain.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
Okay, Given what their response was when.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
Hillary Clinton was using a a server for years with
classified information which we now know was definitely hacked, where
is the outrage coming from. The only place I can
see it coming from, Ben is is we have to
deflect from the fact that Donald Trump has been successful
in the first few months.
Speaker 9 (25:30):
I just have.
Speaker 4 (25:30):
I just have one question about what you just brought up.
Was Hillary Clinton drinking when she was using it on?
I mean, is that going to that was not going
to be the line of questioning for everything from now on,
Like if somebody screws something up, or or even just
makes uh, you know, a little full paw, or or
even just because you want to say it, were they drinking?
Speaker 1 (25:48):
I mean, you've got to do something to smear people.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
This is all about smear tactics because we don't have
anything really to hang our hat on. So we try
to blow this up as big as it possibly can
be and smear as many people as we can in
the process, because we cannot deflect otherwise from the economy
coming back on, from legal immigration being under control, all
(26:11):
these different things are standing in the world going back up,
peace deal is being negotiated with Russia. There are a
lot of positive things and we can't really attack those directly.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
So this is the way we do it.
Speaker 4 (26:24):
By the way, when there's a hearing on anything, I
mean this or anything else, I'll get it right. Congress,
people ask questions, They ask things that will get to
the bottom of something. I just was drinking. Let me see,
I got a whole bunch of questions here. Let me
go to the first one. Was he drinking? I mean again, that's.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
A litigate that's actually an old litigation tactic. As a
former litigator, I can tell you now that one of
the first things you learn when you're learning to be
a trial lawyer is they tell you you put it
out there, you know it's going to be shut down,
but the jury has heard heard it. You can't as
a turnout, you can't un a ring a bell. So
(27:03):
you have a witness out of the blue, you go,
when did you stop beating your wife, mister Jones.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
Mister Jones has never touched his wife.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
However, you've now planted, and of course objections sustained council
stop at fine, but the jury has heard it, and
the doubt is out there, and that's what this is.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
That's what they're doing. This is this is litigation one
O one.
Speaker 4 (27:22):
Somebody should have asked that entire committee, are you are
you people drinking? Have you been drinking? Probably hearing would
actually no, I didn't drink before the hearing. I'm drinking
right now and they're shrinking.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
It's like, okay, you're using up your time if you
don't shut up, gone going going on. I like that
first one with it with the congressman. Sorry, times up, let's.
Speaker 4 (27:41):
Go four seconds, two seconds.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
I wish somebody would give him a fight bell. I
would have you know, I would have loved that.
Speaker 4 (27:49):
We don't want people buzzer. We don't want to don't
use the word fight.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
Because we don't want a buzzer.
Speaker 4 (27:54):
Maybe brashing people in the head. That apparently is one
of the.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
Strategy to the to the republicanly use this, would you
please next time? So we end every week with the truth.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
Or troll, and I've got one for you on this one.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
It's a President Trump was at taking questions from reporters
in the Oval office, and then he got really distracted
by one of the reporters and he's it. He switches
immediately to kind of asking her about it with this
big smile on her face. See if you can see
what I'm talking about. Cut number one hundred, an.
Speaker 8 (28:30):
Education patrol to the state.
Speaker 10 (28:32):
How would you handle it at a state like California
were place education?
Speaker 4 (28:36):
You know, I haven't seen a mask in so long.
You're wearing a mask, so nice of you. I haven't
seen anybody wearing a mask at a long time.
Speaker 9 (28:43):
It's good.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
You feel more comfortable, right, good, that's good, So go ahead.
She had to reask her question, your question, So here's
my question for you, and the truth are to all.
Was he being serious when he said good glad?
Speaker 1 (28:58):
Or was he like, what the sleep is wrong with you?
Speaker 18 (29:01):
If?
Speaker 1 (29:02):
Was he busting or nuts? Was he was he trolling her?
Or was he telling the truth? He was really happy
she was wearing a mask.
Speaker 4 (29:06):
He was making fun.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
Yeah, you should see the smile. I think so too.
And you should see the smile on his face. He's
just like it's kind of like.
Speaker 3 (29:12):
A cat with a mouse.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
He was just like that, back and forth.
Speaker 4 (29:17):
No, I see a lot of I see a lot
of people lots, probably a stretch, but I see people
wearing masks around, sometimes in their car still, which is
bizarre to me. But uh, I'll see people wearing one whatever.
If they want to wear one, that's fine. However, However,
if it's someone that I know, someone at work, and
they're the only one wearing a mask, I will usually inquire,
either either seriously or sarcastically, a nice mask. So, yeah,
(29:41):
I think he was you know, I think he was
kind of I have a cup.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
I absolutely agree with you.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
I have a couple of people who work here who
will do masks, who have kids at home, their kids
are sick, they'll wear a mask when they come in
so that the rest of us don't get sick.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
And I'm down with that.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
But there are a couple of people who just wear masks.
I don't know what the hell that's about.
Speaker 4 (29:58):
I still see, by the way, drives me nuts. If
you're one of the people does this cut it out.
They're wearing a mask down below their nose like they're
wearing a mask, but they're not really so helpful to everybody. Yeah,
what do you I mean I'm wearing I'm wearing a
mask to look like I'm wearing a mask, but I'm
not going to wear it over my face and not
be able to breathe don't wear a mask. Ayet dummy,
(30:19):
no cadding Never mind? Are you Are you drinking?
Speaker 2 (30:22):
Well, that's a question I would like to ask anybody
who's listening to our podcast.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
Are you drinking?
Speaker 2 (30:27):
If you haven't, are you gonna at the show for
damn sure? If you want to get in touch with

Speaker 4 (30:48):
I'm Nancy Shack, I'm drunk, I'm Ben Parker.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
This is news Bite
Signal Gate explodes.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
Democrats say it's war against the Republicans, all to deflect
from President Trump accomplishing what he promised you would do.
The game is afoot here and are did they really
just say that? Clips from this week.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
I'm Nancy Shack, I'm Ben Parker.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
This is news by.
Speaker 4 (00:28):
Do your knowledge?
Speaker 5 (00:29):
You know whether Pete Hexa had been drinking before he
lead classified information.
Speaker 6 (00:34):
I'm going to answer that. I think that's an offensive
line of question. The answer is no. I find it
interesting that you want to know. I'm going to answer
you answer me a question you want to answer no, Listen,
I don't want to focus on the good work that
the CIA is doing, that the intelligence community directors.
Speaker 7 (00:53):
I mean like this dude has the knots over the head,
like hard right, like there is no.
Speaker 8 (00:59):
Nice of these.
Speaker 9 (01:00):
Is there anything that you think Trump is done?
Speaker 10 (01:01):
Right?
Speaker 11 (01:02):
Yeah?
Speaker 12 (01:02):
I made.
Speaker 11 (01:03):
I think cracking down on fetanl, making sure our borders
are strong. Nobody thinks illegal immigration is appropriate.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
That was Senator Bernie Sanders, Progressive.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
I come from Vermont.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Praising yes, you heard it correctly, praising President Trump on
the border.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
By the way, he did say, you know, nobody thinks
that illegal immigration, you know, like he's he's basically saying
everybody's against illegal immigrants being here, but also.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
Said Trump did a good job.
Speaker 10 (01:34):
Right.
Speaker 4 (01:34):
No, No, he did praise him. He Trump. I just
at the end I found that saying what he said,
there's plenty of people who are like over the borders,
let them all in.
Speaker 10 (01:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
So yeah, President Biden was one of them, which is
something that Bernie Sanders actually referenced in the full cut
cut number twelve.
Speaker 9 (01:49):
Please is there anything that you think Trump is done?
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Right?
Speaker 11 (01:52):
Yeah, I made I think cracking down on fetanl, making
sure our borders are stronger. Nobody thinks illegal immigration is appropriate. Now,
I have to think we need comprehensive immigration reform. But
I don't think it it's appropriate for people to be
coming across the border illegally. So we've got to work
now on comprehensive immigration reform. The idea that Trump has,
I don't know what his latest lumpsize. He wants to
(02:14):
deport twenty million people who are in this country who
are undocumented. Well, you do that, you destroy the entire country.
Because I got news for you, Trump's billionaire friends. I'm
not going to pick the crops in California that feed us.
They're not going to work in meat packing houses. That's
what undocumented people are doing. So we need a variety
of programs, guest worker programs, but mostly comprehensive immigration reform.
Speaker 9 (02:37):
But you know, illegal immigration, it exploded under Biden, and
it had been high for times under Trump as well,
but it exploded under Biden. Nothing was really done until
his last year in office when he was yep.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
Should have done much better. No argument, I hate to well,
I don't hate you. I agree with Bernie Standers on
most of what he said. I agree, I think, and
we've said this before this show. We will agree with
people when they're right. We don't just necessarily disagree with
people for the sake of disagreeing with him. Bernie Sanders
is right. Bernie Sanders is right. By the way, if
he's wrong, he's wrong, and more times than not he's wrong.
(03:10):
But whatever. The one thing that he said, which is
kind of the talking point amongst those who like illegal
immigrants here is they switch the gear, right, Well, we
don't want illegal immigrants here, but undocumented ones are okay.
In a second, I mean they're the same thing. It's interchangeable.
They're synonyms. It's just a kinder, gentler way to say
(03:33):
someone's here illegally. Well, they don't have any documents, so
I don't like that. And then look, he's right about
we need some some kind of comprehensive something or other
going on, but you can't have a stop illegals. But
be okay with undocumenteds. They're the same thing. Now, if
you want to say the people who are picking fruit,
(03:55):
it can stay here. Okay, put that in your your
comprehensive plan. But it's just it's it's offensive to people
with a half a brain. Are you here illegally or
are you here undocumented? Doesn't matter, same thing.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Yeah, I don't disagree with you. But I think the
most astonishing thing from that cut is the fact that
you know, Senator Bernie Sanders said that Trump did something right,
and he's not the only one.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
This is.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
I want you to hear John Sandberg say, sorry, Sandwag.
He's the former Obama ice director and he was on
News Nation and he said, listen, Trump did something we
couldn't do. Cut number ten.
Speaker 13 (04:29):
I think what we're going to find here is that
the outcomes maybe this year are not so dramatically different. Certainly,
let's say, compared to the Obama years. I don't think
it's fair to compare to the Biden years because for
the for until the last six months of the Biden administration,
we had a completely different border. We had hundreds of
thousands of people across and taking making asylum claims that
bogs down Ice in their internal operation. Do you think
(04:50):
Trump and Obama are kind of comparable in some weird
ways on immigration in some ways? No, No, because Obama
we had a very targeted approach focused on criminals, and
we were lasered in on that and the border. This
he's got a dead border and he's really focused on
I think the big difference, Connell is he's trying to
do really not just a mass deportation, but a self deportation.
I think you've seen that in the rhetoric they've really shifted.
(05:12):
They're overtly discussing that. And then what they're trying to
do is by taking all of the guard reels off,
is create a climate of fear where more people are
going to self deport.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
More people are going to self deport. It's working.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
What he's doing is working. And the interesting thing is
you know, the more. And it's other things besides immigration.
Businesses are pouring in because of the tariffs. You've got
huge car companies coming and starting to build factories here
so they don't have to pay lob the tariffs onto
cars that they want to sell here.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
There's a lot of things that are going right.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
And the more that President Trump is successful, the more
the Democrats become panicky. They are overwhelmed. I think they
were overwhelmed when they lost the election. They couldn't understand why.
They still don't understand why they are completely out of
touch with the American people. And so what's happened is
they've become enraged and and they come out with these
(06:07):
bizarre statements, just absolutely bizarre statements that are meant to
turn you against President Trump. But instead what they're tending
to do is they they make you look at the
person who utters the stamic going what is wrong with you?
Speaker 1 (06:20):
I'll give you an example.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
This is of somebody who can't understand why why Trump
supporters are going maya Kulpa cut fifteen.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
This is Anna Navarro on the view.
Speaker 14 (06:32):
Police departments in South Florida are signing cooperation agreements to
be deputized as Ice when we you know, I keep
I keep thinking, Okay, this is.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Going to change the way, folks.
Speaker 14 (06:45):
They're gleeful. Everybody I know who voted for Trump is
gleeful and supportive of everything he's doing.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Yeah, because it's working. But it's working.
Speaker 4 (06:54):
By the way, everybody who voted wildmore say everybody, because
never say everybody, But most of the people voted for
Joe Biden were gleeful with all the stuff he did
because they liked it.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
They bought into it.
Speaker 4 (07:08):
Reagan, same for Bush shaving. Of course they vote for someone,
you're happy when they do stuff.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
But yeah, but she's she's she's thinking like, well, you know,
how how can they like his success? Well, because that's
why they voted for him, that he would He promised
to do things. He's actually doing them, and that's why
people are happy.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
And there is a difference. By the way, I need
to point to this side. Well I probably don't need
to to most people listening, but I'm going to anyway.
It Look, there's a huge difference between being against illegal
immigration and being against immigration. I'm very much for immigration.
Let's have more immigrants, but cut the crap with the
just walking across the border and saying, oh, I'm here.
Speaker 15 (07:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
I don't want to give too bog down an immigration
because to me, the point of these cuts is the
fact that they don't understand why people support Donald Trump.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
So I think most people say, and I'm going to
give you another example. It doesn't have men to do
with immigration.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
But most people, yes, of course if they agree with
if they voted for Donald Trump and he does what
he said he would do, well, of course they're going
to be happening.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Of course, absolutely.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
So this is joy read on Don Lemon. And this
is an example of what I was talking about. When
people make these bizarre statements thinking that they can turn
you against Donald Trump by ascribing weird crap to him.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
This is cutt number sixteen.
Speaker 8 (08:21):
You can't make Canada the fifty first state without going
to war with them. And let me explain how that happened,
how that worked out. The last time we tried to
go to war with Canada, they burned the White House
to the ground in eighteen fourteen.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
And won the war.
Speaker 16 (08:36):
Canada beat us in the War of eighteen twelve. They
probably like their chances against us. We're not gonna beat
them in a war because we have never been able
to do that. You'd have to occupy a country that
is equivalent of the size of the United States, in
which the top two thirds of it is uninhabited, frozen
(08:57):
forest land that touches the Arctic.
Speaker 8 (09:00):
You know how that worked out when the Nazis tried
that with Russia, which is the equivalent of Canada.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
On that part of the world.
Speaker 14 (09:10):
We don't lose.
Speaker 8 (09:11):
We don't have enough troops to occupy. They are a
country of thirty nine million people who have about as
many guns per capita.
Speaker 4 (09:20):
As we do.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
There's so many things kickering that you heard was Don Lemon.
He was snickering in the background.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
That was bizarre. But here's the thing.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
We didn't beat can They can even beat us in
the War of eighteen twelve. That was the British British
that was not Canada, first of all. Secondly, so you're
gonna compare a ballad eighteen twelve to twenty twenty five
to one and two and who the hell says we
want to invade Canada? Are you nut?
Speaker 4 (09:44):
That's only by the way, what you just said is
only like the top three things she said wrong. Yeah,
I could go on for a month.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
But she wants you to believe that that is Donald
Trump's plan, because if you believe that, then of course
she'll go, you're not gonna you're gonna think, oh my god,
did I vote for them?
Speaker 6 (09:57):
Man?
Speaker 1 (09:57):
I can't support him anymore.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
She's a freaking a tick and she thinks you are
stupid and you're going.
Speaker 4 (10:03):
To be stupid, but not for that. Yeah, I mean,
I'll admit I'm stupid, but not that, not that stupid.
I don't get Well, look, she's preaching to the ever
ever smaller choir when when they say stuffing like that, point, Yeah,
it's like you can barely hear it singing. Hello, anybody
singing in the choir.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Well, and she's not the only one. This is Maxine Waters,
Congresswoman Maxine Water. She's at an anti Trump rally in LA.
She's suggesting that, given Donald trumpston on immigration, that we
should look into deporting Milania Trump. The first lady cut
thirty one.
Speaker 17 (10:37):
If he was this god looking so closely to find
those who were born here and their parents were undocumented,
maybe out of person.
Speaker 18 (10:46):
Getting Milannia out.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
We all know whether or not her parents were document
and maybe we'd better just take a look.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Well, okay, first of all, Milan Trump was not born
in the United States. She was in fact, neither were
her parents, and they all immigrated here, all of them.
Malania came then her parents came legally with green cards.
So there's the Maxine has no freaking idea which he's
talking about. And can I just point out that this
(11:20):
is an example of how much Donald Trump loves immigrants.
He doesn't hate immigrants. He hates illegal immigrants, especially if
they are in fact criminal and members of gangs. He
loves immigrants. He's married to an immigrant, not the first
one either, his first wife was also an immigrant.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
So I mean, this is just bizarre, bizarre, And they think.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
That this is going to resonate with the American people.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
This is what they believe is going to make you
support them instead of supporting, you know, one of them.
Speaker 4 (11:53):
It resonates with the couple one hundred or a couple
of dozen people who show up for some of these rallies.
And I know, look, there's a lot of issues. And
you say, you know, we don't want to spend a
lot of time on immigration. Okay, fine, because but there's
so many issues, Like there are people who agree wholeheartedly
with getting rid of illegal criminal immigrants, but at the
same time they disagree with Donald Trump on some of
(12:14):
his stands on LGBTQ, or on economics or different things.
So you don't have to agree with Donald Trump on everything,
but God almighty, some of these people don't want to
give him credit for anything. Not a save save Bernie Sanders,
who actually did.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
Yeah, and an Obamas guy who's like, he's getting people
to depoor it. But you know, but this is how
hysterical they are. They make these bizarre statements, and not
only are they doing that, then they're calling for violence.
You have elected members of the US Congress calling for
violence and a governor calling for violence against against people
(12:48):
who they don't agree with. I'm going to give you
here's an example. This is Illinois Governor J. B.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
Pritzker.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
He's speaking at a human rights campaign convention and says
he doesn't think that we should contain you with conventional
political fights. We need to be street fighters. Cut thirty five.
Speaker 18 (13:05):
Despite my own experience with this president back in twenty
nineteen and twenty twenty, and my own warnings to the
public on the campaign trail last year, I hope that
some part of Donald Trump's cruel nature would bow to
two and a half centuries of tradition. For ten years,
ever since Donald Trump descended that ridiculous gold escalator to
(13:30):
announce his entrance into the political world, I hoped that
the Republican Party would seek out and find its better angels.
Hope is a delicate and wonderful thing, a seed that
we should never stop planting. But I won't let hope
be a blindfold, and I won't continue to advocate that
we wage a conventional political fight when what we really
(13:54):
need is to become street fighters.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
That's violent. That's a dog was for violence. I mean,
oh my god.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Talk about a smarmy, patronizing jackass. And then on top
of that, this is Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett. She you heard
this in the openings. This was on NBC five in Dallas.
She was calling for Ted Cruz to be knocked over
the head hard cut eighteen A.
Speaker 8 (14:17):
I think that you punch.
Speaker 19 (14:19):
I think you punch. I think you're okay with you
you okay with punching, you know, I think, and I
love Colin, and I think towards the end he started
to punch a little harder, but.
Speaker 4 (14:29):
Like it's Ted Cruz.
Speaker 7 (14:31):
I mean, like this dude has to be knocks over
the head like hard right, Like there is no niceties
with him, like at all, Like.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
You you go clean off on him right now.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
This is the same woman. Don't forget that last week
called for Elon muffs.
Speaker 10 (14:46):
She wanted.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
All she wanted for her birthday was for Elon musks
to be taken down. That's all she wanted.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Then here she is.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
She actually assaults a reporter who tries to ask her
a question in the hallway.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
Cut thirty four.
Speaker 17 (15:00):
You recently on a Tesla take down, who do you
like to clarify your comments as you can do violence at.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
What you're hearing is Crockett assaulting him, actually grabbing him
to shut him up. That's what she was doing. And
if that isn't bad enough, you want to know what
kind of human being she is? You know she's from Texas,
right and the governor of Texas, Greg Abbott, is in
a wheelchair. You know, he's he's paralyzed, and so she
thinks that's really funny. Cut number thirty three.
Speaker 19 (15:36):
We in these hot ass tixas streets, Honey, y'all know
we got governor hot wheels down there, come on now,
and and the only thing hot about him is that
he is a hot ass mess honey.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
I mean, it's just like, oh my god, she is
just a work. This is the current progressive leader of
the Democratic Party. This is the woman who is now
taken over for AOC as in the primary leader, calling
for violence and making fun of the handicapped.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
This is what she's been doing.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
And this is the darling of the Democratic Party. This
is what has happened to them because they cannot deal
with President Trump's success So this is the climate they
were in, right, their eyes are spinning around counterclockwise, you know,
trying to deflect from Trump's successes. Then comes are you
ready Signal Gates? And in Signal Gate, what we had
(16:38):
happened was a on signal as an app, a communications
app that the government under the Biden administration actually put
on everybody's phone and all the computers in the various
administrations so that there could be internal group chats. And
it was they're the ones who put it there. And
there you go, all right, So incomes Trump administration. Signal
(17:02):
is everywhere, they're told by the outgoing parties that be.
That signal is perfectly safe and they can use that
for internal communications. All right, there you have the base
what happened. So there is Over the weekend there was
a signal group chat including the Secretary of Defense, Pete Hagseeth,
along with Mike Waltz who's the NSA, along with the
(17:26):
Marco Rubio, Secretary of State, a few others. Secretary of
Treasury was on there and they were talking about the
Within a couple of hours, the US was about to
strike on the hoodies who have been terrorizing the golf
in the Middle East and ships, and so that's what
(17:48):
it was about. Unfortunately, included in that group chat was
a reporter, and not just a reporter, but a reporter
for The Atlantic Monthly who hates Donald Trump. He's the
guy that spread the misinformation, who lied about Donald Trump,
hating service people, who lied about a number of He's
just he's put out a lot of really lying stories
(18:12):
and he's obviously a Trump Peter and will do anything
to take down Donald Trump. So he gets he's up
for some reason, his name was included in the chat chain,
and he was included in it.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
And when he got it.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
Did he go, oh, I shouldn't be on this and
respond in kind.
Speaker 11 (18:29):
No.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
He took snapshots of the chat and then told the world, Hey,
excuse me, there's a problem here. I'm getting classified information
from Pete Heg Sath and Mike Wallace and there's a
huge security league. So that's the climate that we have.
So Pete Haig Sath, Secretary of Defense, lands on the
(18:49):
Toomak and Hawaii and the first thing he hears is
from reporter saying, excuse me, cut number two.
Speaker 15 (18:55):
Please can you share how your information about war plan
against the Houthis and Yemen was shared with a journalist
in the Atlantic and where those details classified?
Speaker 5 (19:07):
So you're talking about a deceitful and highly discredited so
called journalists who's made a profession of pedaling hoaxes time
and time again, to include the I don't know the
hopxes of Russia Russia Russia or the fine people on
both sides hopes or suckers and losers hopes.
Speaker 4 (19:29):
So this is the guy that pedals in garbage.
Speaker 5 (19:31):
This is what he does.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
So okay, So first he goes after reporters and you
can't trust him. Then he explains a little bit more
about why the why the particular details were shared on signal.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
Cut three.
Speaker 15 (19:44):
Why are those details shared on signal? And how did
you learn that a journalists was privy to the targets,
the types of weapons used.
Speaker 5 (19:52):
I've I've heard it was characterized nobody was texting war plans.
Speaker 4 (19:58):
And that's all I have to say about that.
Speaker 15 (19:59):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
So nobody was TechEd that. That's nobody was texting war plans. Okay,
So outcomes Jeffrey Goldberg. He's the Atlantic Monthly Reporter editor.
He's on MSNBC with Jensaki, and he gives his version
of what happened. Cut number four.
Speaker 12 (20:14):
I'm going to be responsible here and not disclose the
things that I read and saw. I will describe them
to you. The specific time of a future attack, specific targets,
including human targets meant to be killed in that attack,
(20:37):
weapons systems, even even weather reports or you know that
the government is is. I don't know why hexcept was
sharing it with everybody, but he.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
Was, but because he thought it was a safe thing
to use. The bigger question is who put an Atlantic
Monthly reporter on the chain? Who put him in there?
Because it doesn't happen by mistake, somebody did now the
administration says this was a mistake, but it's not as
big as it's being made out to be. President Trump
responded with Waltz was standing in the office and answered
(21:10):
the question cut one sea.
Speaker 12 (21:11):
They used a.
Speaker 15 (21:13):
A app, if you want to call it an app,
that a lot of people use, a lot of people
in government, use a lot of people in the media.
Speaker 4 (21:20):
We just want to use the best technology. This was
the best technology for the moment.
Speaker 15 (21:25):
But again, it wasn't classified, so they probably viewed it
as being something that wasn't that important that.
Speaker 8 (21:32):
Was not classified.
Speaker 19 (21:36):
Another question, Actually.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
So that's he's saying, it's not classified. They say it's
not classified. So then against what he said he would do,
Goldberg said, I can't publish this stuff because I'm a patriot.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
He been published.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
Everything was out there, and it turns out it wasn't classified.
Maybe it was sensitive, There wasn't exactly what he purported
it to be. So is this a witch hunt? Becomes
the question are they making a bigger deal out of
it that it's supposed to be. We have the Democrats
trying to ramp it up. This is Susan Rice, former
White House advisor on MSMB saying, oh my god, it's.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
The worst security debacle ever.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
Cut thirty two, Ambassador Rice putting your national security advisor
hat back on your reaction to this report.
Speaker 16 (22:19):
It's stunning.
Speaker 5 (22:21):
It's likely the biggest national security debacle that any profession
can remember.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
Yeah, except this is the woman, don't forget who brought
you Benghazi and lied about it and said it was
all about a movie when actually it was a massive
intelligence failure on behalf of Secretary of State Clinton and herself.
So you know, she's got all the credibility of a
bow eevil. But the Democrat, the Democrats are really trying
to ramp it up. Immediately they have a hearing. This
(22:49):
is Cash Patel who's being questioned by Democrat Congressman Chrissy
Hulihan out of House hearing. Jule asked about we need
an FBI investigation. Cut fourteen A.
Speaker 10 (23:01):
Another day has passed.
Speaker 4 (23:02):
You actually was the night before the hearing.
Speaker 10 (23:04):
Now that another day has passed, you believe that it's
now time potentially for the FBI to open an investigation
into this.
Speaker 4 (23:09):
I'm not going to comment on that because you're.
Speaker 10 (23:12):
The director of the FBI. You don't believe it's appropriate
to comment on.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
That because there's a process in place, there's an ongoing litigation,
and the National Security Council is reviewing this matter, and
I'm not.
Speaker 10 (23:21):
Going to discuss any open or clothing ongoing investigation. Literally,
the lawsuit happened today or yesterday afternoon, and the idea
that you don't have an opinion on this at this
point is frustrating to me.
Speaker 4 (23:32):
No, it's not. I'm not going to prejudge any matter.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
The women of the FBI will claim the balls and.
Speaker 13 (23:39):
You, sir mister, I'd like that gentleman's recognized.
Speaker 11 (23:43):
You have four seconds remaining.
Speaker 10 (23:44):
No, I have more than that.
Speaker 13 (23:45):
Two seconds remain.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
Gentleman's time has expired. Oh that tells you what they
think of Chrissy. Then you have a congressman, Jimmy Gomez deciding,
you know what, this is.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
A good time.
Speaker 4 (23:56):
Why don't we do this.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
Let's really try to turn this into a smear fast.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Let's say, hey, was Pete Hegseth actually drunk texting during
this cut sixteen B to.
Speaker 5 (24:05):
Your knowledge, do you know whether Pete hegsett had been
drinking before he lead classified information?
Speaker 10 (24:13):
I don't have any knowledge of Secretary Hegsath's personal habits.
Speaker 12 (24:18):
Director Radcliffe, same question, yes or no?
Speaker 6 (24:24):
You know no, I'm going to answer that. I think
that's an offensive line of question. The answer is no.
I find it interesting that you want to feel I'm
going to answer you answer my question. You want to
answer no.
Speaker 4 (24:36):
Listen, I don't want to.
Speaker 6 (24:37):
Focus on the good work that the CIA is doing,
that the Intelligence Community.
Speaker 4 (24:41):
Director, I want to reclaim my time. Director, I reclaimed
my time.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
They're doing their damnedest. But it's just like the administration said, Okay,
we screwed up. The reporters shouldn't have been on the chain,
but it wasn't classified information. Nobody died nothing, not only that,
the military mission was highly successful.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
So we made a mistake. We're not doing it.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
We're not using the app anymore, and we'll find out
who put the Atlantic Reporter on the email chain.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
Okay, Given what their response was when.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
Hillary Clinton was using a a server for years with
classified information which we now know was definitely hacked, where
is the outrage coming from. The only place I can
see it coming from, Ben is is we have to
deflect from the fact that Donald Trump has been successful
in the first few months.
Speaker 9 (25:30):
I just have.
Speaker 4 (25:30):
I just have one question about what you just brought up.
Was Hillary Clinton drinking when she was using it on?
I mean, is that going to that was not going
to be the line of questioning for everything from now on,
Like if somebody screws something up, or or even just
makes uh, you know, a little full paw, or or
even just because you want to say it, were they drinking?
Speaker 1 (25:48):
I mean, you've got to do something to smear people.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
This is all about smear tactics because we don't have
anything really to hang our hat on. So we try
to blow this up as big as it possibly can
be and smear as many people as we can in
the process, because we cannot deflect otherwise from the economy
coming back on, from legal immigration being under control, all
(26:11):
these different things are standing in the world going back up,
peace deal is being negotiated with Russia. There are a
lot of positive things and we can't really attack those directly.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
So this is the way we do it.
Speaker 4 (26:24):
By the way, when there's a hearing on anything, I
mean this or anything else, I'll get it right. Congress,
people ask questions, They ask things that will get to
the bottom of something. I just was drinking. Let me see,
I got a whole bunch of questions here. Let me
go to the first one. Was he drinking? I mean again, that's.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
A litigate that's actually an old litigation tactic. As a
former litigator, I can tell you now that one of
the first things you learn when you're learning to be
a trial lawyer is they tell you you put it
out there, you know it's going to be shut down,
but the jury has heard heard it. You can't as
a turnout, you can't un a ring a bell. So
(27:03):
you have a witness out of the blue, you go,
when did you stop beating your wife, mister Jones.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
Mister Jones has never touched his wife.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
However, you've now planted, and of course objections sustained council
stop at fine, but the jury has heard it, and
the doubt is out there, and that's what this is.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
That's what they're doing. This is this is litigation one
O one.
Speaker 4 (27:22):
Somebody should have asked that entire committee, are you are
you people drinking? Have you been drinking? Probably hearing would
actually no, I didn't drink before the hearing. I'm drinking
right now and they're shrinking.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
It's like, okay, you're using up your time if you
don't shut up, gone going going on. I like that
first one with it with the congressman. Sorry, times up, let's.
Speaker 4 (27:41):
Go four seconds, two seconds.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
I wish somebody would give him a fight bell. I
would have you know, I would have loved that.
Speaker 4 (27:49):
We don't want people buzzer. We don't want to don't
use the word fight.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
Because we don't want a buzzer.
Speaker 4 (27:54):
Maybe brashing people in the head. That apparently is one
of the.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
Strategy to the to the republicanly use this, would you
please next time? So we end every week with the truth.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
Or troll, and I've got one for you on this one.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
It's a President Trump was at taking questions from reporters
in the Oval office, and then he got really distracted
by one of the reporters and he's it. He switches
immediately to kind of asking her about it with this
big smile on her face. See if you can see
what I'm talking about. Cut number one hundred, an.
Speaker 8 (28:30):
Education patrol to the state.
Speaker 10 (28:32):
How would you handle it at a state like California
were place education?
Speaker 4 (28:36):
You know, I haven't seen a mask in so long.
You're wearing a mask, so nice of you. I haven't
seen anybody wearing a mask at a long time.
Speaker 9 (28:43):
It's good.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
You feel more comfortable, right, good, that's good, So go ahead.
She had to reask her question, your question, So here's
my question for you, and the truth are to all.
Was he being serious when he said good glad?
Speaker 1 (28:58):
Or was he like, what the sleep is wrong with you?
Speaker 18 (29:01):
If?
Speaker 1 (29:02):
Was he busting or nuts? Was he was he trolling her?
Or was he telling the truth? He was really happy
she was wearing a mask.
Speaker 4 (29:06):
He was making fun.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
Yeah, you should see the smile. I think so too.
And you should see the smile on his face. He's
just like it's kind of like.
Speaker 3 (29:12):
A cat with a mouse.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
He was just like that, back and forth.
Speaker 4 (29:17):
No, I see a lot of I see a lot
of people lots, probably a stretch, but I see people
wearing masks around, sometimes in their car still, which is
bizarre to me. But uh, I'll see people wearing one whatever.
If they want to wear one, that's fine. However, However,
if it's someone that I know, someone at work, and
they're the only one wearing a mask, I will usually inquire,
either either seriously or sarcastically, a nice mask. So, yeah,
(29:41):
I think he was you know, I think he was
kind of I have a cup.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
I absolutely agree with you.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
I have a couple of people who work here who
will do masks, who have kids at home, their kids
are sick, they'll wear a mask when they come in
so that the rest of us don't get sick.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
And I'm down with that.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
But there are a couple of people who just wear masks.
I don't know what the hell that's about.
Speaker 4 (29:58):
I still see, by the way, drives me nuts. If
you're one of the people does this cut it out.
They're wearing a mask down below their nose like they're
wearing a mask, but they're not really so helpful to everybody. Yeah,
what do you I mean I'm wearing I'm wearing a
mask to look like I'm wearing a mask, but I'm
not going to wear it over my face and not
be able to breathe don't wear a mask. Ayet dummy,
(30:19):
no cadding Never mind? Are you Are you drinking?
