Speaker 1 (00:00):
Michael Michael Waltz yesterday made the statement it's his.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Fault, but he doesn't know how he.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
Got a hold of it, doesn't have his contact in
his phone, and doesn't know how it happened, So maybe
we need to look at it that way.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Well, and apparently some of this I'm gonna let it
play out because he's admitted to it. But at the
same time he says that I don't know how it happened.
I maybe I'd have to go back and reread the
statement again, but I thought he said he didn't know
(00:45):
how it happened, and I interpreted that to me he
didn't know whether he accidentally, you know, fat thumbed it
or what he did. But we'll let it play out
and see. But I will, I will, and I and
I kind of smile when I think about that. Even
though this could have been a really serious problem in
(01:06):
the sense that the Hoothies could have been alerted to
what was going on and we could have missed the
opportunity to take out the leader of the Hoothies. That's
a serious breach of operational security. But it didn't happen. Fortunately,
it did not happen, and it was caught and Goldberg
(01:26):
and stop and think of this. Why is nobody asking?
And I guess I should not. Well, some of these
people do follow me on X. Why hasn't someone asked
Jeffrey Goldberg the who?
Speaker 1 (01:44):
What?
Speaker 2 (01:44):
We're whenning? Why you know? When did you first receive
a text? And when did you first notify somebody that
you had inadvertently been placed on a text that you
didn't think you should be on or were you just
waiting to see what was said? What's the you know
(02:08):
shows the time stamps of when? Well, actually we have
the time stamps, so I guess if somebody really wanted
to do a little amateur forensic analysis, you could look
at the time stamps on the screenshots and compare that
to the time of Goldberg's first statements publicly about it
(02:30):
to determine how long did you wait? How long did
you wait as that conversation was occurring among eighteen legitimate
people as far as I know, eighteen, you were the
nineteenth one. How long did that take? And why didn't
you call immediately? Why didn't you act like dragon? And
(02:52):
the minute you saw it you were going to do something,
But before you saw it, somebody else already caught it,
and I still wonder too. I still can't get beyond
do you ever get? I get group texts, which I
always delete myself out. I hate group texts. If there's
(03:13):
more than three people myself included, so two others in
a group text, I pull myself out. I just I
don't want to deal with it. My family gets mad
at me because there's a group text that I delete
all the time where it's just benign bull crap, and
(03:36):
I just deleep myself out of it. Never respond to anybody.
I usually look at them to see what insanity my
family is doing. And I'm not talking about my immediate family.
I'm not talking about my son and daughter and me
and Tamra. I'm talking about my brother and my sister
and a couple of their siblings. It's like, oh, good grief.
I don't care. I don't care. Oh you had an
(04:00):
MRI done and that's why you down on your knee.
I don't care. That awful is that off of me? Dragon?
I don't, I don't. I just don't know. For those
of you that only tune in at nine o'clock, I'm
gonna go back and revisit Jasmine for a minute. I
(04:20):
love Jasmine. Jesus the gift that keeps on giving. So
I think we can hold these truths to be self evident.
Number one. Jasmine Crockett, a member of the United States
Congress from Texas, a Democrat, is a huge dumbass. Number two,
it's racist to say that. Yeah, now she's made, she's been,
(04:43):
she's one of the and I think she's deliberately doing this.
She's made a name for herself in recent months. She
is trying to emulate Chuck Schumer by stepping in front
of every available camera. She sees the red dot I'm
on on a camera, she sees a reporter standing around somewhere,
(05:04):
and bam, she runs to it like a bud bug
to a bug light, so that she can say a
bunch of foolish things. They're gonna draw attention to her.
These people are so pathetic, The Democrats are so dispirited,
they're so unpopular, they're so powerless that they now look
to this yammering ditch as a beacon of the hashtag resistance.
(05:28):
She now personifies the resistance. So when she says something
this moronic, this strenuously witless, you'll just shut up about
it and you'll like it.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
And because we in these hot ass Texas streets, honey, Ragen, do.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
We have this up on the website by chance? I do,
take a look at it, Michael says, go here dot com.
Because she's at the Human Rights Campaign and she did
you notice how she flips her hair back when she
says it, as if look how beautiful and cool she's
showing off. She's that's the perfect language for it. She's
(06:08):
showing off.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Baby, because we in these hot ass Texas streets.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Honey, honey, honey, somebody call you honey? Does missus Redbeard
call you honey? Go hell? No, yeah, money either, honey, honey.
There's somebody in this building that uses the word honey
a lot drives me batty.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
Y'all know we got Governor hot Wheels.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
Down there, come on now, and the only.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
Thing hot about him is that he is a hot
ass mess honey. So so yes, yes, yes.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Yes, you just don't as I'm watching that, because she's
standing in front of you know, everybody has to put
their their name behind the the podium now so that
you can see that this is the Human Rights Campaign
with a little equal sign, you know, the yellow gold
equal sign in the box. I think human rights mean
(07:10):
something different now, honey, yeah, I think it means something different.
She said what she said, it's dumber than dog poop.
And she said it while looking like she just stumbled
off the set of RuPaul's Drag Race. She kind of
looks like she might be in drag which is which
is fine if that's her, if that's her gig, fine,
But that's what it looks like to me, which is
(07:32):
absolutely her right to do. And if you got a
problem with that, maybe you should step back and think
about the fourth centuries of racism on this continent. Basic
human decency is a product of white supremacy. Now you
know that, Go ask the Human Rights Campaign. Basic human
(07:53):
decency is a product of white supremacy. And whatever you do,
never ever, ever point out Crockett used to sound like
this because during the break I found when this is
when her job depended on people taking her seriously. Now,
let me just let me replay the twenty seconds of
(08:13):
Jasmine Crockett today and then let me go back. Let
me check the date on this again. Let me go
back to watch this is uh six years ago. See
if you can spot the difference this week.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
And because we in these hot ass Texas streets. Honey,
y'all know we got governor hot wheels down there. Come
on now, and the only thing hot about him is
that he is a hot ass mesk honey, So so yes, yes, yes, yes.
(08:51):
The biggest problem with his legal team, and I do
defense work, I mean, I get it. The biggest problem
is not acknowledging Roy Oliver is the reality is that
this isn't an officer who had his first run in
and it was a bad run in. That's not what
it was. Oliver never should have been on the streets.
(09:11):
Jordan should be here. We shouldn't be having this conversation.
But we had too many people dropping the ball and
not stepping up to the plate because the reality is
that when he was off duty two weeks prior, he
decided to pull a gun in the middle of a
traffic accident. That's a problem. If something had been done then,
then maybe he wouldn't have been around two weeks later
(09:32):
to shoot Jordan. It's been if there had been something
done more than just a simple suspension. When he decided
he was going to curse at a jury and walk
out in the middle of his duties as an officer,
as he's supposed to be testifying, then maybe he never
would have pulled that gun on those two ladies. Maybe
he never would have pulled the gun on Jordan. So
(09:53):
the problem is that everybody wants to pass the book. Now.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
The problem is that for those tuning in this Judgmine
Crockett when she was defense, she was a defense lawyer.
This is six years ago. I thought I thought your
voice changed when you went through puberty. I didn't think
it changed when you went to Congress.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
The jury gave down this sentence, So we don't know
what's gonna happen to policing. How about accepting some responsibility
for what your client did and what was we knew.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Was leading up to.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
This and the people that did not take responsibilities, such
as box Springs, they didn't take responsibility. And you can't
now say you know what, he didn't lied. Let's not
forget he lied. He lied initially to try to save
his heini and therefore, but for the body cameras, he
still would have been on the forest or because we
(10:47):
in these hot ass Texas streets. Honey, y'all know we
got governor high wheels down there. Come on now, and
the only thing HI about him is that he is
a hot ass mess honey. So so yes, yes, yes, yes.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
So your tone, your intonation, your language honey versus ass
changes from when you're a defense lawyer and you need
to be taken seriously to when you're a United States
congressman speaking before the Human Rights Campaign, and then it
becomes honey, you got some hot ass there, honey, Yeah,
(11:28):
you sure do.
Speaker 4 (11:29):
It sounds a little like when when people go home
and then they they they slip back into their native accent,
or you have a couple of drinks and you just
can't help but it just slurs.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Right.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
So, the the the lawyer one sounds like she had
lost the accent because it was still there. There was
still some words that we were like, oh that, yep,
that's got some draw to it. Then the most recent
one it's like, no, no, she's thrown a couple backs.
She's gone back to you know, the the native the
native roots right there.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Wait a minute, you think the one that the Human
Rights Campaign is the native roots? Correct? See, I think
the defense lawyer is. I think that's the native roots.
I think that's how she's.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
The draw is still there certain words, you're like, oh, yep,
draw is still there.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
But I just think that the whole intonation, the whole
level everything changes when she becomes a congressman, and particularly
when there's a leadership void and she's out trying to
get attention. It's not I will say this, I don't
think it's anybody business but her own. That she's become
(12:36):
a silly clown with a fake ass weave and no
and and putting on a modern day minstrel show for
Democrats that are frustrated by their powerlessness. She's getting her
bag and you can just deal with it. You're you're
just a bunch of crackers, and you got to realize
that she's doing this and all right. Now, I did
(12:58):
find the apology. I did not make this up. This
is what she actually tweeted.
Speaker 5 (13:05):
Now.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
I could not find it on her timeline. I found
it during the break, trying to because I knew I
read this yesterday. I wasn't thinking about the governor's condition.
I was thinking about the planes, trains, and automobiles he
used to transfer migrants into communities led by black mayors,
(13:28):
deliberately stoking tension and fear among the most vulnerable. Literally.
The next line I said was that he was a
hot and interesting that she doesn't spell out the word ass.
She says he was a hot, a asterisk asterisk mess
referencing his terrible policies. At no point did I mention
(13:52):
or allude to his condition. So I'm even more appalled
that the very people who unequivocally support Trump, a man
known for racially insensitive nicknames and mocking those with disabilities,
are now outraged. That was posted yesterday at three point
forty three pm. Maybe it's still there and I just
(14:14):
missed it, but I couldn't find it today. You see, Governor,
hot wheels means I don't know planes trained for automobiles.
She definitely wasn't talking about the wheelchair. And why are
you bigots trying to go out and point out the difference.
(14:36):
I'm just trying to point out how you guys are
bigoted for thinking that. You know, she's got some fake
accent and she's making fun of a guy in a wheelchair.
And also, you know, it's bad to send people who
are seeking sanctuary. That's really bad to send someone seeking
sanctuary or a sanctuary city, because some of those cities
might actually have a black mayor Chicago. I'm looking at you. Now.
(14:58):
She doesn't specify who's scare or why they're scared, but still,
I mean, come on. And of course when she said
that Governor Abbott was a hot ass mess, she was
referring to his policies, to his policies plus or obviously Trump.
We had to throw Trump in there too, because if
(15:20):
you have a problem with her, then you obviously loved Trump. Right,
I mean, that's the way this whole logic goes right.
I'm sorry, right, don't you got it? This out goes right.
I'd have more respect for this airhead if she just
admitted she obviously meant what she said, and that is
justified because she hates this Jasmine Crockett won't a detention
(15:44):
And now she's really getting it and for the first time,
she doesn't seem to be enjoying the spotlight. And as
long as we're talking about Texas, I sent dragging this link.
Have you seen the link yet? Dragon?
Speaker 4 (15:57):
I have.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
He tried so hard. I don't know which Tesla engineer
decided to add external cameras that turn on when somebody
approaches a Tesla give that person a raise. In fact,
My next point was going to be that person deserves
a raise. Them liberals just keep owning themselves by messing
(16:22):
with other people's property. And the footages all over the internet,
this cyber truck surveillance video that Dragon's putting up on
the websites going to be tough to be. There's nothing
for you to really see. It's ten seconds. But would
it be appropriate? Would it be inappropriate for me Dragon
to use the word lard ass? That's an app description,
(16:49):
that wasn't my question? Is it inappropriate for me to
use the term lard ass, which you think is an
appropriate description?
Speaker 4 (16:59):
If he was in a mobility scooter then most definitely.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
Because that's not a mobility scooter, is it? It's not?
Or is it a hyped up, hopped up disability scooter.
It could be, it could be. I mean, it's it's
got like the big ass tires on it. It's got
mud tires on it.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
He made it for off roading.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
His name is the Marquian Cox in Texas, Kanada, Texas.
He was arrested for ramming several Teslas, which what they
describe as his mini four wheeler. So he's mad about
Elon or it's uh hinal mating season. Maybe that's what
it is. He also gave it a fake name, aa Albert.
(17:54):
I'd say more, but i'd be acute to be Anyways.
Speaker 6 (17:59):
I agree with Redbeard. Her native roots are what she's
doing now. She was covering up for her native roots
because she wanted to get into Congress. No one in
their right mind would have voted for this hood rat.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
You know, between this whole conversation and the conversation about
chambering around goes to prove that there is a spectrum
of opinions that goes from way over here to way
over here, and everybody on both ends of that spectrum
and everything in between believes that they are right. Have
(18:42):
you looked at the text line, You're right. So everybody
hears what they want to hear, and everybody hears what
they hear based on their own experiences, based on their
own biases, their own environment, everything, and it is what
(19:02):
it is.
Speaker 4 (19:02):
It's like the green needle brainstorm sound wave or the
golden white dress.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
Oh yeah, the whole dress thing. What was it gold
or blue or something? Yeah, everybody's got everybody's got their
own take, and that's fine. I'm so timpted. To go
down that path, but I'm not gonna do it. Uh.
We've got some good news in the economy, which it's
(19:27):
about time. Uh. There's new data that shows that durable
goods orders have risen for a second straight month month,
not quarter or anything else, but for the second straight month,
drastically beating the expectations of all the so called economists.
The increase in demand, combined with what appears to be
(19:47):
a pretty resilient job market and rising wages except for
mine and Dragons, suggests that the corporate media and narrative
that keeps playing up fears of recession is likely inflow
and seeing every time you hear about negative consumer surveys
and all the negative consumer polling more than what's the
economic reality. So one of the numbers, durable goods orders
(20:12):
were up zero point nine percent in February, beating expectation
of a one percent decline. The increase was predominantly fueled
by surgeon demand for industrial equipment. Now, I want to
pause for a moment. That's a really good sign because
that means that industries, businesses that do manufacturing are expecting, Oh,
(20:37):
we see increased demand in the future. So we're going
to start buying more stuff to make that stuff, and
a demand for an increase in demand for consumer goods
like computers, appliances, and autos. Now, if you exclude transportation equipment,
durable goods orders were up zero point seven percent. That
(20:58):
suggests there's a broad East industrial strength strengthening that is continuing.
So notably, computer and appliance demand was up one point
one percent and two percent, respectively, So more people buying computers,
more people buying appliances, those are all good signs. Machinery
demand was up zero point two percent. Automobile demand, this
(21:20):
is pretty sunning, in my opinion, was up four percent.
You take January's data revised to a three point three
percent increase, that would suggest that overall, the US manufacturing
rebound is stronger than indicated by all the consumer confidence
surveys and business expectation surveys that you keep hearing about.
(21:45):
I think that lack of consumer confidence those surveys. People
are worried, they don't people don't understand tariffs, they're worried
about taxes. They're not sure what's going to happen. The
world's on fire in different places. And think, of course,
the consumer answering that, particularly if you've been laid off
recently or you're worried about job security. Yes, but I
(22:06):
think this new data i'll actually, you know, kind of
allay all these growing concerns over a potential recession, because
generally speaking, an economic downturn does not occur when demand
is surging and the job market remains robust or stable
or whatever adjective you'd like to it attached to it.
(22:29):
But I think more interestingly, the durable goods data indicates
that the Trump White House's tariffs are not depressing consumer
demand overall. So while the reciprocal tariffs are going to
take effect just next week, markets have i think probably
priced in the increased costs, which appear to have a
(22:52):
somewhat negligible effect, which reminds me that let me pull
it up. Uh. Bob lighthauser who's the mastermind behind Trump's
trade in tariffs, was on with Tucker Carlson and he
stunned Carlson seems to at least in my opinion, with
(23:14):
an insane statistic.
Speaker 7 (23:16):
Take a listen, we have this giant transfer of wealth
from the United States overseas, and that he is in
the form of trade deficits and the way the system
is supposed to work, no one should have large trade
deficits for long periods of time.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
Things can happen, You can do it.
Speaker 7 (23:35):
You could have trade deficits for one country surplus with another.
But the notion of a country having hundreds of billions
of dollars of trade deficits every year is not how
it's supposed to work. We now are to the point
where our trade deficits they calculate him at about seven
or eight one hundred billion dollars. If you did it
the way you or I would do in a sensible way,
(23:57):
you'd probably be at a million or a trillion and
a quarter dollars.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
So a trillion to one point two to five trillion
dollar trade deficit sucked out of our economy.
Speaker 7 (24:11):
That's a transfer of wealth from Americans overseas and return
for current consumption. And it has another thing to do
with economics, since entirely the result of industrial policy of
other people and are being defenseless. So you ask yourself,
what does that mean over a period of time? Why
should I worry about that? There's a data point called
(24:33):
the international investment position of a country, and that is
how much for us all Americans own throughout the entire
world versus how which everyone else owns here. That number
is a negative twenty three and a half trillion dollars.
And if you said, what was it twenty years ago,
(24:53):
it was probably a negative three trillion dollars. So we
have transferred about twenty brillion dollars worth of our national
wealth and I would say the future income of that
wealth overseas in return for current.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
Continue, can you explain that measurement one more time? It's
what we own here versus what others own here.
Speaker 7 (25:16):
No, so it's how much Americans owe overseas, okay, all
over the world versus how much everybody else in the
world owns here. And it's a real calculation. It's not
something I did, right, So it's a real statistic. It's
been around forever. And what that includes. So they own
here so well, I mean, so they own twenty three
(25:41):
and a half trillion dollars worth of stuff. But if
you said, what is it mostly, it's probably mostly.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
Debt.
Speaker 7 (25:48):
A lot of it's debt, A lot of it is
equity in our company's real estate. Those are the principal
things that they own. Those are the big the big assets.
That is a big one, but also ownership and equity.
A lot of it portfolio. Now, some of it is
foreign direct investment where country action company actually comes in
(26:10):
and buys piece of land and creates jobs. Most of
it isn't that. Most of it is just they own
US equities. If you think about the United States, for
most of our history, particularly since the Second World War,
we Americans were thought rich because we own more overseas.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
Than people owned in America. That's what makes you rich.
Speaker 7 (26:32):
Now we are poor to the extent of twenty three
and a half trillion dollars.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
Twenty three and a half trillion dollars. That really is
an amazing statistic. And so when you think about tariffs,
I think, to talk about the trade tariffs are really
not depressing consumer demand. But I think the Trump administration
needs to do something. I think, and it needs to
be someone besides Trump, because Trump talks about tariffs. I mean,
(27:00):
whether it's oh, I can't think it was name. The
Secretary of Commerce's name flies out my head. Whether it's
him or maybe it's somebody on behalf of the administration
really needs to talk simple, simple language about tariffs and
(27:21):
talk about our trade deficit and talk about this ownership
stat and how we're twenty three and a half trillion
dollars in the hole whereas before it was negative, we
actually own more. Now they own more. We've transferred that
out of the country twenty three and a half trillion dollars.
(27:43):
So when these reciprocal tariffs take effect next week, I
think that's already built into the stock market. I think
the semi correction that we saw last week or whenever
it was, I think that's kind of over. But then
you look at gold has broken through three thousand dollars
an ounce. Silver I think is about to break through
(28:04):
based on a law of the economists that I read.
So people are I think, nervous because it's some uncertainty.
But when you look at it in terms of what
Scheinberg was just explaining, do you realize, oh, this is
an attempt to get some of that back here. So
(28:26):
some companies, and not forget was it Toyota or one
of the manual one of the auto manufacturers, in order
to avoid the tariffs, is building like billions of dollars
worth of new manufacturing in this country in order to
avoid the tariffs. Now obviously not everybody's going to do that,
(28:48):
but to the extent that anybody starts doing it, you
start to rebalance the sheet, and our sheet really does
need to be rebalanced significantly.
Speaker 6 (28:58):
Michael, I guarantee jazz and keeps one in the chamber.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
Oh Man, So, based on some text messages during the break,
I looked up to find out exactly what Mike Waltz
had said about knowing Jeffrey Goldberg. Walt conceded that the
episode was embarrassing and said the White House has engaged
(29:26):
Elon Musk to investigate how Goldberg's number was included in
the group text. On the Laura Ingram Show last night,
Walt said, quote, I can tell you for one hundred percent,
I don't know this guy, Jeffrey Goldberg. I know him
by his horrible reputation and he really is the bottom
schem of journalists. I don't text him, he wasn't on
(29:49):
my phone. And we're going to figure out how this happened.
So Ingram asked, so you don't know what Stafford was
responsible for this? Now, this is an interesting answer to
that question. The question was, so you don't know what
Stafford was responsible for this? And Walt says that he
built the group, and he takes full responsibility. Quote, my
(30:12):
job is to make sure everything is coordinated. Have you
ever had somebody's cunt? Have you ever had somebody's contact
that shows their name and then you have somebody else's number. There,
You've got somebody else's number on someone else's contact. So
of course I didn't see this loser in the group.
It looked like someone else. Now, whether he did it
deliberately or it happened in some of their technical means
(30:35):
is something we're trying to figure out. And Ingram presses him,
but how did it end up in your phone? That's
a pretty big problem, she says, and he replies, that's
what we're trying to figure out. Take a listen.
Speaker 8 (30:49):
The President expressed complete confidence in you today and his
entire cabinet. But how did a Trump hating editor of
The Atlantic end up on your signal?
Speaker 5 (30:57):
Chet You know, Laura, I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but
of all the people out there, somehow this guy who
has lied about the President, who has lied to go
Star families, lied to their attorneys, and gone to Russia hoax,
gone to just all kinds of links to lie and
(31:19):
smear the president of the United States, and he's the
one that somehow gets on somebody's contact and then gets
sucked into this group.
Speaker 8 (31:27):
Is someone in your intel Is someone in your intel
team trying to cause trouble here, because that's the scuttle
about out there that.
Speaker 5 (31:34):
We have people, we have people. No, Look, this was
this is a great group. The president has a great team.
This is not first your team. I'm not talking about
the other president. No, no, no, These were principals and a
couple and a couple of staff that we're coordinating as
you saw, having a policy discussions as we went forward,
and then just in the days before what was an
(31:55):
incredible strike. Not only did we take out people that
the Biden team never could that we took out headquarters,
missile cachets and actually one of the leaders of the
HOUTHU organization. We've since taken out several cents. And you
know that's what they don't want to talk about. They
don't want to talk about the success here. They don't
want to talk about the hostages getting released. They don't
(32:16):
want to talk about the Black Sea case fire that
we just put in place today as the president ends
the largest land war in Europe or the border, or
the fact that Panama just kicked China out of the
canal and success after success, at their success, So they
want to focus on this. It's embarrassing. Yes, we're going
to get to the bottom of it. We've have I
(32:36):
just talked to Elon on the way here. We've got
the best technical minds looking at how this happened. But
I can tell you, I can tell you for one
hundred percent. I don't know this guy. I know him
by his horrible reputation and he really is a bottom
scum of journalists. And I know him in the sense
that he hates the president.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
But I don't text him.
Speaker 5 (32:56):
He went on my phone, and we're going to figure
out how this opens.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
The person that I thought was on there was never
on there. But I don't have this sound I can't
find this SoundBite. Apparently Laura Ingram then questions him about, well, then,
who put this person on here? Who else was on there?
The person that I thought was on there was never
(33:22):
on there? Well, who is that? He declined to name
that person. So the news on Question one was that
Walt said there was some sort of mix up in
which he hears staff he had a contact with a
mismatch name and number. He would not name any staff
person who might have played a role in that particular
circumstance or situation. He did not name the intended group
(33:44):
participant who never participated. And finally, the investigation now includes
Musk and his technical staff playing a key role. I
think they ought to just stopped talking about it. If
indeed they think there was some nefarious act activity, which
my gosh, I wish they could prove. That would be
(34:05):
an indictment of our calm system and our security apparatus.
But nonetheless, if that's the case and Jeffrey Goldberg is
somehow implicated in that happening, well that'll kill off the
Atlantic for sure, and probably kill off Jeffrey Goldberg's career.
Don't wish that on anybody. But if that's what was occurring,
(34:29):
then they out of prove it. Otherwise, stop talking about this.
I'm tired of talking about it. Everyone's done their manaculpis
Trump's not going to fire anybody. I think they've learned
their lesson. They've been chewed out. I don't think it's
going to happen again, so it's time to let it go.
