Good evening, it's Wednesday, March 26th.
0:18
Welcome to a new episode of
0:21
System Update, our live nightly show
0:23
that airs every single Monday through
0:25
Friday at 7 p.m. Eastern, exclusively
0:27
here on rumble, the free
0:29
speech alternative to YouTube. Tonight,
0:31
the controversy, one might say scandal
0:33
arising out of the signal war
0:35
planning chat, could and should have
0:38
been a one-day story at most.
0:40
Had Mike Walsh, the National
0:42
Security Advisor just admitted what
0:44
is plainly true? that he accidentally added the
0:46
Atlantic editor and chief Jeffrey Goldberg to
0:49
their war planning chat, said he made
0:51
a mistake and pointed out that no
0:53
harm was done, nobody would be talking about
0:55
this anymore. Hopefully we'd be focusing on
0:57
the far more important question of whether
1:00
Trump should have restarted Biden's war and
1:02
bombing campaign in Yemen and what the
1:04
outcome is likely to be, but that's
1:06
not what Walter other Trump officials did.
1:09
They did the opposite. Walt has
1:11
been issuing a series of increasingly
1:13
embarrassing and highly impossible claims
1:15
to justify what he did,
1:17
largely because he seems petrified
1:20
of admitting that he actually
1:22
did have Jeffrey Goldberg's contacts
1:24
saved in his phone, because
1:26
Goldberg is one of
1:28
the most unscrupulous operatives in
1:31
DC media, and Trump harbor's
1:33
particular contempt for him. As
1:35
a result of this refusal to simply
1:37
admit error and move on by Mike
1:39
Walsh, we have been drowned in a
1:41
series of utterly ridiculous claims from the
1:44
administration, as well as from Goldberg and
1:46
other Trump enemies that deserve scrutiny simply
1:48
because it's a job, one of the
1:50
most important jobs of a journalist, to
1:52
sort through claims coming from government and corporate
1:55
media to discern what is true and
1:57
what is not. So that is what
1:59
we will be doing. evaluating new evidence
2:01
about the bombing campaign and the evidence
2:03
itself and how it's being carried out.
2:05
Then ever since Donald Trump made clear
2:08
his intentions to end the war in
2:10
Ukraine and in general withdraw from the
2:12
responsibility of financing Europe's defense, EU leaders
2:14
have seemed to delight in embracing all
2:17
sorts of tough guy war-mongering rhetoric about
2:19
how they intend to become a major
2:21
military power without the US, how they
2:23
will rearm, spend everything necessary to do
2:26
so, and how they will even fight
2:28
Russia. Unsurprisingly, given that this is Europe,
2:30
these vows are proving to be completely
2:32
empty, as very few European countries actually
2:35
have the ability or the political will
2:37
to back up any of this tough
2:39
talk with action. We'll show you the
2:41
sad and darkly hilarious reality of Europe
2:44
and the grand canyon-wide gap between their
2:46
swaggering rhetoric and their impotent reality. And
2:48
then finally, we reported on Monday night,
2:50
Monday night, about the hearing that was
2:53
held at the DC Court of Appeals,
2:55
where Trump Justice Department lawyers tried to
2:57
convince the appellate court to cancel or
2:59
abandon the lower court judges' stay on
3:02
deporting illegal immigrants to prison in El
3:04
Salvador without providing due process. At the
3:06
time, we explained that the judges on
3:08
the appellate court in oral arguments seemed
3:11
aggressively hostile to the Trump Justice Department's
3:13
theories as to why they were permitted
3:15
to do this. Today... That three judge
3:17
appellate court issued its ruling and by
3:20
a two one-to-one decision, ordered that the
3:22
injunction on these deportations to El Salvador
3:24
remain in place. and pointed out what
3:26
they see as the severe constitutional infirmities
3:29
in these deportations, and even the dissenting
3:31
judge acknowledged that before you can deport
3:33
even an illegal alien to El Salvador,
3:35
they are required to have due process.
3:38
We'll tell you all about it. Before
3:40
we get to all of that, we
3:42
have a few programming notes. We are
3:44
encouraging our viewers to download the rumble
3:46
app. If you do so, it works
3:49
on your Smart TV, on your telephone.
3:51
on your Xbox, a whole bunch of
3:53
other devices, and then you can follow
3:55
the programs you most love to watch
3:58
here on the platform. Once you do
4:00
that, if you activate notifications, as we
4:02
hope you will, it means the minute
4:04
any of those shows, those beloved shows
4:07
that you watch, begin broadcasting live on
4:09
the platform, you'll be immediately notified by
4:11
text or by email, however you want,
4:13
you pick the form of notification, it's
4:16
amazing, and then you just click on
4:18
the link. As soon as the show
4:20
begins broadcasting live it really helps the
4:22
live viewing numbers of rumble programs and
4:25
therefore the free speech cause of rumble
4:27
itself. Add another reminder, system update is

4:40
you rate, review and follow our show
4:43
it really helps spread the visibility of
4:45
the program. Finally, every independent media outlet
4:47
and... independent journalists requires and depends on
4:49
the support of their readers and their
4:52
viewers and their members and we are
4:54
no different the way in which we
4:56
encourage our viewers to support the show
4:58

5:14
we don't have time to include in
5:16
a rumble show We publish every day
5:19
written professionalized transcripts of the show we
5:21
broadcast the night before Every Friday night
5:23
we do a Q&A session where we
5:25
take questions solely from our local members.
5:28
We put a lot of this show
5:30
when it goes too long on that
5:32
platform as well solely for our members,
5:34
but most of all it is the

5:45
the rumble page and it will take
5:48
you directly to that community. For now,
5:50
welcome to a new episode of System
5:52
Update starting right after this message from
5:54
our sponsor. Here
6:02
is a new story Mexico externates 29
6:04
drug traffickers to the US to avoid
6:06
trade tariffs We all know how deceptive
6:09
mainstream media can be they push agenda
6:11
sense of voices and make sure that
6:13
you only see one side of the
6:15
story That's exactly why I started this
6:17
show here in Rumbold, because I believe
6:19
in free speech and real conversations and
6:21
reporting that entails all sides and ultimately
6:23
the best pursuit of the truth possible.
6:25
And it's why I partnered with an
6:28
app and website that believes in all
6:30
of those values too. Ground News prioritizes
6:32
free speech, over controlling the narrative. For
6:34
every new story, you can find all
6:36
the articles reporting on it worldwide with
6:38
contacts, such as if a new source
6:40
has any political bias, how credible they
6:42
are, and if any major corporation is
6:45
influenced influenced. their reporting all I have
6:47
to do is swipe through coverage with
6:49
tags indicating if it's coming from a
6:51
liberal or conservative source or from corporate
6:53
or independent voices and from there I
6:55
can decide for myself if Mexico's unprecedented
6:57
extradition of 29 cartel members to the
7:00
US is proof that Trump's tariff tactics
7:02
are really working like some conservative sources
7:04
report or if it's just a routine
7:06
legal process and one of the cartel
7:08
members pled not guilty anyway like the
7:10
center and the left are saying different
7:12
sources say different things if I had
7:14
just read one of those sources I'd
7:16
have a completely skewed view of reality
7:18
but with ground news I could put
7:21
them side by side and decide for
7:23
myself who's actually telling the truth ground
7:25
news even created a dedicated feed called
7:27
blind spot that exposes stories that
7:29
neither side of the political spectrum is
7:31
reporting on making it impossible or rather
7:33
making it possible to spot stories that
7:36
people in charge don't want you to
7:38
see. Ground News is bringing back transparency
7:40
in the news and civil discourse right
7:42
from your phone or computer. Best of
7:44
all, they're independent and subscriber supported and

8:03
I am quite confident you will
8:05
love that platform. If
8:08
I'm being completely honest, and
8:10
like why wouldn't I be?
8:12
I wish I didn't have to
8:15
talk about this whole
8:17
signal Atlantic Yemen war
8:20
chat scandal because I
8:22
actually don't think it's
8:24
particularly significant in and
8:27
of itself. I think what
8:29
happened here is very obvious.
8:31
The Trump administration, particularly
8:33
Mike Waltz and Pete
8:36
Hexeth, particularly Mike
8:38
Waltz, were negligent, careless,
8:40
reckless, I think all those terms
8:42
apply, when using a unreliable
8:45
app to talk about extremely
8:47
sensitive war plans, a bombing
8:49
campaign that they were about
8:51
to initiate prior to its
8:53
initiation. And Mike Waltz accidentally
8:56
went to include somebody who
8:58
worked for the government in
9:00
that group and by accident chose
9:02
a reporter, a highly unscrupulous
9:04
and aggressively anti- Trump
9:06
reporter named Jeffrey Goldberg,
9:09
the editor-in-chief of the Atlantic,
9:11
accidentally chose his number
9:13
and his contact saved in his phone
9:15
and put him into the group. And
9:17
had Mike Waltz just admitted that, had
9:19
he just said look? I have a lot
9:22
of reporters named saved in my phone.
9:24
I've been in Congress for a long
9:26
time. We talked to reporters. I have a
9:28
lot of lobbyists, a lot of, just like
9:30
every other member of Congress. And I don't
9:32
talk to Jeffrey Goldberg much, or maybe
9:34
I've never even talked to him, but
9:36
I had his number saved for some
9:38
reason. I don't even remember, whatever. And
9:41
when I created this group, I thought I
9:43
was choosing somebody in the Trump administration and
9:45
instead I accidentally put Jeffrey Goldberg in the
9:47
group, it was definitely a mistake, it was
9:50
a bad mistake, I'm sorry I committed it,
9:52
I'll be more careful in the future, no
9:54
harm was done, the operation was a success.
9:56
How did he just said that? The obvious truth,
9:58
then there'd be nothing... else to talk
10:01
about with this story. Everybody would
10:03
have moved on. Democrats would have
10:05
talked about it. MS NBC would
10:07
have talked about it, but it
10:09
really would have been nothing. But
10:11
unfortunately, that's not what Mike
10:13
Waltz did, and therefore, the Trump
10:16
administration in defending him had
10:18
to issue a series of
10:20
statements that are blatantly,
10:22
untrue on their face, and a lot
10:24
of... The journalists, including Jeffrey Goldberg, have
10:26
been making false claims as well, and
10:28
the whole thing is this tsunami of
10:30
false claims that we do feel
10:32
now compelled to sort through because
10:34
when the government issues statements that
10:36
are highly implausible or questionable, it's the
10:39
job of a journalist to question those, to
10:41
scrutinize those, to point out what we know
10:43
and what is true. But there's also in
10:45
the chats that have now been released,
10:47
including new chats that were released by
10:49
the Atlantic today. insights into
10:51
what exactly this bombing campaign in
10:53
Yemen is entailing the strategies being
10:56
used to bomb, who to kill,
10:58
how many civilians can be killed, and
11:00
that is at least worth examining
11:02
probably more so. So just to
11:04
remind anybody who has not heard
11:07
of this story who's fortunate enough
11:09
not to have heard of it,
11:11
it all started yesterday when Jeffrey
11:13
Goldberg, the editor-in-chief of
11:15
the Atlantic... Again, I think one
11:18
of the most unscrupulous operatives in
11:20
all of D.C. media published this
11:22
article after the Trump bombing campaign
11:24
and Yemen resumed, the
11:26
Biden administration had been bombing
11:29
Yemen throughout 2024, despite during the
11:31
campaign, Trump saying he opposed the
11:33
bombing, thought it was unnecessary. He
11:35
decided to resume it and even
11:37
escalate it. Jeffrey Goldper published
11:40
this article. The Trump
11:42
administration accidentally texted me
11:44
its war plans. U.S. national security
11:46
leaders included me in a group
11:48
chat about upcoming military strikes in
11:50
Yemen. I didn't think it could
11:52
be real. Then the bomb started
11:54
following. So he essentially revealed and
11:57
showed screenshots of the chat that
11:59
he had been included by Mike
12:01
Waltz into what is obviously an
12:03
extremely sensitive conversation that for some
12:06
reason took place over the commercial
12:08
app signal that everybody uses for
12:10
free even though the government spends
12:13
billions of dollars developing highly secure
12:15
encrypted communication for national security discussions
12:17
they decided to use signal and
12:19
they absolutely put Jeffrey Goldberg into
12:22
their planning about how they were
12:24
going to bomb Yemen. which is
12:26
obviously a secret, what aircraft they
12:29
were going to use to bomb
12:31
Yemen, what time the bombing was
12:33
going to start, and that's what
12:36
Jeffrey Goldberg revealed. And obviously what
12:38
had happened was Mike Walsh had
12:40
accidentally added him to the group,
12:43
but and of course that's not
12:45
the sort of information to which
12:47
a journalist, especially a hostile journalist,
12:49
but really no journalist. This is
12:52
clearly classified information. highly sensitive secret
12:54
information for government planning a bombing
12:56
campaign It's actually illegal to provide
12:59
that information to someone who's not
13:01
authorized to receive classified information Which
13:03
is Jeffrey Goldberg and yet they
13:06
did they did it by accident
13:08
presumably And they should have just
13:10
said that so instead of that
13:12
The Trump administration once waltz came
13:15
out denied that he ever talked
13:17
to Jeffrey Goldberg didn't even think
13:19
he had his Contact in his
13:22
phone didn't understand how it happened
13:24
that investigation is needed to see
13:26
what occurred here The Trump administration
13:29
went on the offense, even though
13:31
they were the ones who clearly
13:33
made a mistake, and began denying
13:36
that there was anything sensitive about
13:38
this information. That there was nothing
13:40
sensitive about planning, debating, and then
13:42
planning when to start a bombing
13:45
campaign in Yemen, how to start
13:47
the bombing campaign in Yemen, how
13:49
to start the bombing campaign in
13:52
Yemen. I just
13:54
want you to think for a
13:56
second about what would have happened
13:58
had Jeffrey Goldberg published the entire...
14:00
chat with all of these details
14:02
we're going to show you where
14:04
in the chat operational details prior
14:06
to the U.S. going and bombing
14:08
Yemen. Do you really believe that
14:10
a single person in the Trump
14:12
administration would have said, oh, that's
14:14
no big deal that Jeffrey Goldberg
14:16
published these detailed war plans about
14:18
when we were going to send
14:20
our service members in harm's way,
14:22
what aircraft they would use, what
14:24
time they would start bombing? They
14:27
would probably charge Jeffrey Goldberg under
14:30
the Espionage Act and arrest him
14:32
immediately at the very least they
14:34
would have described this as a
14:36
Incredibly reckless and disloyal and unpatriotic
14:39
treasonous thing to do by a
14:41
reporter because of course this information
14:43
is sensitive It was only once
14:45
they realized that Jeffrey Goldberg had
14:48
it because they gave him access
14:50
to it Did they start trying
14:52
to insult your intelligence by trying
14:54
to tell you there's nothing? and
14:57
all sensitive or classified about any
14:59
of this information. Here's Pete Heggsath
15:01
speaking on Fox News about all
15:03
this. Hold work day here as
15:06
well and looking forward to it.
15:08
One question. Can you share how
15:10
your information about war plans against
15:12
the Houthis and Yemen was shared
15:14
with a journalist and the Atlantic?
15:17
And were those details classified? So
15:19
you're talking about a deceitful and
15:21
highly discredited... so-called journalists who's made
15:23
a profession of peddling hopes time
15:26
and time again to include the,
15:28
I don't know, the hopes is
15:30
of Russia, Russia, Russia, or the
15:32
fine people on both sides hopes,
15:35
or it's suckers and losers hopes.
15:37
So this is the guy that
15:39
pedals in garbage. This is what
15:41
he does. I would love to
15:44
comment on the Huthi campaign. because
15:46
of the skill and courage of
15:48
our troops. I've monitored it very
15:50
closely from the beginning. And you
15:53
see, we've been managing four years
15:55
of deferred maintenance under the Trump
15:57
administration. Our troops are sealers. getting
15:59
shot at as targets. Our ships
16:02
couldn't sail through. And when they
16:04
did shoot back, it was purely
16:06
defensively or at Shacks in Yemen.
16:08
President Trump said, no more. We
16:11
will reestablish deterrence. We will open
16:13
freedom of navigation and we will
16:15
ultimately decimate. The Huthis, which is
16:17
exactly what we're doing as we
16:20
speak from the beginning, overwhelmingly. Why
16:22
do those details shared on signal
16:24
and how did you learn that
16:26
a journalist was privy to the
16:28
targets, the types of weapons used?
16:31
I've heard I've heard I've heard
16:33
I was characterized. Nobody was texting
16:35
war plans. And that's all I
16:37
have to say about that. Thank
16:40
you. That's it. N.C. said it
16:42
was authentic. Nobody was texting more
16:44
plans. He said. And
16:46
this has been the line from the
16:49
Trump administration. No, there was nothing in
16:51
there that's sensitive, no big deal that
16:53
we shared it with the journalists. And
16:56
in fact, I agree with everything Pete
16:58
Hex has said about Jeffrey Goldberg. I
17:00
think he's one of the most fraudulent,
17:02
if not the worst, most fraudulent operatives
17:05
in media. In addition to all the
17:07
sins, Pete Hexeth mentioned, as we've shown
17:09
you before, it was Jeffrey Goldberg single-handedly
17:11
who invented the lie. and Al-Qaeda in
17:14
order to convince Americans of what they
17:16
needed to be convinced of to support
17:18
the war in Iraq, which was that
17:20
Saddam Hussein was somehow involved in the
17:23
planning of the 9-11 attack, and that's
17:25
why we had to go in and
17:27
take him out. Without that lie, that
17:29
Jeffrey Goldberg spread all over the New
17:32
Yorker and NPR and all the shows
17:34
that he was asked to come on.
17:36
He was showered with journalism awards. Without
17:38
that lie, it would have much more
17:41
difficult to convince Americans to support the
17:43
war in Iraq. affected Jeffrey Goldberg standing
17:45
in corporate media because as I've said
17:48
before, it's not just tolerated, it's required
17:50
if you want to advance in corporate
17:52
media that you lie on behalf of
17:54
the US security state. Nobody does that
17:57
as easily or as casually as Jeffrey
17:59
Goldberg. But given that I agree with
18:01
everything Pete... said about him, that provokes
18:03
the question, why is it that Jeffrey
18:06
Goldberg, that journalist, that Pete Hex says
18:08
is a fraudster and a hoaxer and
18:10
spreads lies? Why was he
18:12
included in this very small
18:15
16, 17 people top national
18:17
and national security officials? Why
18:19
was he included in this
18:21
group? And therefore made available,
18:24
made aware of the war
18:26
planning that took place. It's
18:28
true that not all of
18:30
the details of the bombing
18:33
operation in Yemen
18:35
were included, but a
18:38
lot of it was. Here
18:40
is the Atlantic
18:42
who actually was
18:45
almost forced to
18:47
reveal more. Tax because Jeffrey
18:49
Goldberg had said there were details about
18:52
the operation in here the Trump administration
18:54
The amently denied it as you just
18:56
heard Pete Hexeth do as others have done
18:58
And because the Trump administration said there
19:00
was nothing classified in there Jeffrey
19:03
Goldberg had no excuse to withhold it
19:05
He's the government itself the
19:07
Trump administration is saying this isn't classified
19:09
So once you call the reporter a liar
19:11
and claim that what he's claiming is in
19:13
there really isn't and that there's nothing
19:16
classified about it, you have no
19:18
excuse not to publish it. You're
19:20
basically duty-bound to do so, and
19:22
he did. Under this headline, here are
19:24
the attack plans that Trump's advisors shared
19:26
on signal. The administration has
19:29
downplayed the importance of the
19:31
text messages inadvertently sent to
19:33
the Atlantic's editor-in-chief, and then
19:35
here you can see the text itself. At
19:38
1144 a.m. Eastern Time hexath
19:40
posted in the chat in
19:43
all caps team update The
19:45
text began this way quote
19:47
time now Whether is favorable
19:50
just confirmed with CENTCOM.
19:52
We are a go for
19:54
mission launch CENTCOM or central
19:57
command is in the
19:59
military Batten Command for
20:01
the Middle East. The hexath
20:04
text continues. Set F-18's
20:06
launch first strike package
20:09
at 1215. 1345, trigger-based
20:11
F-18's first strike window
20:14
starts. The target terrorist
20:17
is, and they mention his
20:19
name, at his known location,
20:21
so should be on time,
20:23
also strike drones launch, MQ9.
20:27
And then the next set
20:29
of chats, Hagseth continued, 1410,
20:31
more F-18's launch, second strike
20:34
package, 1415 strike drones on
20:36
target. This is when the
20:38
first bombs will definitely
20:40
drop pending earlier
20:42
trigger-based targets. 1536,
20:44
F-18 second strike starts,
20:47
also first C-based homahawks
20:49
launched. More to follow
20:51
per the timeline and then
20:54
ironically in retrospect he added
20:56
we are currently clean
20:59
on opposite That is
21:01
operational security so
21:03
I'm sorry but nobody in
21:05
good faith nobody trying
21:07
to be minimally honest
21:10
nobody who is anything
21:12
other than a complete
21:14
partisan hack Would claim that
21:17
there was nothing sensitive
21:19
nothing Pete Hags have posted
21:21
to the signal group that
21:24
included Jeffrey Goldberg. You're
21:26
talking about detailed times
21:28
of an operation that has not
21:30
yet begun. The targets of
21:32
their operation, the aircraft they
21:35
intend to use, the sequence
21:37
of events that the attack
21:39
plan entails. The U.S. government
21:41
classifies everything pretty
21:43
much. I've talked before about how
21:45
I read through the Snowden archive
21:47
for two years plus. Hundreds
21:50
of thousands, if not more,
21:52
top secret and classified documents,
21:54
they classify everything, including the
21:56
most banal and ridiculous and
21:58
routine documents. Here's how you
22:00
request. justification, here's how you
22:02
get a parking credential, top
22:05
secret, or classified. The idea,
22:07
the very idea that detailed
22:09
war plans to secretly bomb
22:11
a country is not information
22:14
that ought to be closely held,
22:16
that it's fine to share it with
22:18
whomever, is just an insult
22:21
to your intelligence and it
22:23
is a... byproduct the fact that
22:25
Mike Waltz decided he won't tell
22:27
the truth and couldn't tell the
22:30
truth for reasons we'll get into
22:32
so the administration lined up behind
22:34
him to defend him and in doing
22:36
so had to issue some claims that
22:38
don't even pass a laugh test. Now
22:40
I'm not pretending and I won't
22:42
pretend that I'm sitting here worried
22:45
about whether the government effectively
22:47
or efficiently protects
22:49
its secrets. That is not my job.
22:52
I'm a journalist. If anything, my job
22:54
is to unearth those secrets,
22:56
not help the government better hide
22:58
them. I'm not, this is not,
23:00
that's why I say, I wouldn't
23:02
even be talking about this, if
23:05
not for the fact that it's
23:07
ongoing because the truth just wasn't
23:09
admitted instead we're getting an avalanche
23:11
of preposterous claims. And as I'll
23:13
show you, not just from the
23:16
government, for Jeffrey Goldberg
23:18
as well. And she essentially
23:20
followed up with the same sort
23:23
of denials that Pete Hexap
23:25
that's clearly part of the
23:27
strategy. She says, quote, Jeffrey
23:30
Goldberg is well known for
23:32
his sensationalist spin. Here are
23:34
the facts about his latest story,
23:36
quote, no war plans were discussed.
23:39
Come on. What I just showed
23:41
you, are those war plans attack plans
23:43
by any stretch of the... imagination,
23:46
any way to interpret those phrases not
23:48
to include that information I just cited.
23:50
And they're trying to claim that Jeffrey
23:53
Goldberg Monday said there were war plans
23:55
and then the Atlantic were treated to
23:57
attack plans. There's no difference between those.
24:00
It's just not true that, quote, no
24:02
war planes were discussed in the signal
24:04
chat. Number two, no classified material was
24:06
sent to this thread. How is this
24:08
information not classified? Number three, the White
24:10
House Council's office has provided guidance
24:13
on a number of different platforms
24:15
for President Trump's top officials to
24:17
communicate as safely and efficiently as
24:19
possible. As the National Security Council
24:22
stated, the White House is looking
24:24
into how Goldberg's number was inadvertently
24:26
added to the thread. Thanks to
24:29
the strong and decisive leadership of
24:31
President Trump and everyone in this
24:33
group, the huthi strikes were successful
24:35
and effective, terrorists were killed, and
24:37
that's what matters most to
24:39
President Trump. Trump administration officials
24:41
for the last two months have
24:43
been issuing very flamboyant aggressive statements
24:45
about the evils of leaking classified
24:48
information. Saying they have zero tolerance
24:50
for it, they'll punish anybody who...
24:52
is responsible for it and
24:54
now suddenly because of Mike Waltz's
24:56
careless mistake at best, they shared
24:58
secret war plans, secret attack and bombing
25:01
plans with one of the most
25:03
hostile anti- trump media operatives on
25:05
the planet. And now they resort
25:07
to, oh, we don't care that much about, we
25:09
can classify information, we just care that
25:12
the operation was a success. It was
25:14
a success because Jeffrey Goldberg opted not
25:16
to publish what he had learned prior
25:18
to the bombing campaign. But they had
25:21
no way of guaranteeing that when
25:23
they let him into that
25:25
group. Tolsey Gabber, the Director
25:27
of National Intelligence, and
25:29
the C.I. Director John
25:31
Radcliffe were testifying before
25:34
Congress yesterday, and both
25:36
of them took similar positions.
25:38
So I'm curious, did this
25:40
conversation at some point include
25:43
information on weapons packages, targets,
25:45
or timing? Not that I'm
25:48
aware of. Director
25:51
Gabbard, same question,
25:53
timing. And on
25:56
weapons packages, targets,
25:58
or timing. that I'm
26:00
aware of. Okay, did you hear
26:02
that? I mean, whatever you think
26:05
of the M& bombing campaign, however
26:07
much you up, President Trump, here's
26:09
the CIA director testifying before the
26:11
Senate. And it's not even an
26:14
effective lie, because of course these
26:16
chats were going to come out.
26:18
He was asked, was there anything
26:20
about timing or weapons packages transmitted
26:23
in this chat? Obviously, John Radcliffe,
26:25
the CI director read the chat.
26:27
It's right on his phone before
26:29
going to testify. He knew what
26:32
was in there, and yet he
26:34
still said not to my knowledge
26:36
or no. I just read you
26:38
exactly that, the weapons packages that
26:41
were going to be used in
26:43
the timing of the attacks in
26:45
detail. What is the justification for
26:47
lying about that? Why would you
26:50
even do that? That's what I
26:52
mean. This began as a very
26:54
trivial matter, and it's become something
26:56
more significant because of the refusal
26:59
to tell the truth and just
27:01
dig in in defense of Mike
27:03
walls. Here's the rest of this
27:05
interrogation. Director Gabbard, same question. Same
27:08
answer and defer to the Department
27:10
of Defense on that question. Well
27:12
those are two different answers but
27:14
you're saying that did not that
27:16
was not part of the conversation.
27:19
My knowledge. Precise operational issues were
27:21
not part of this conversation. Correct.
27:23
I mean maybe there is some
27:25
way to kind of use some
27:28
kind of a semantic game to try
27:31
and Justify Those answers, but they are
27:33
misleading at best They should have just
27:35
said yes as we were talking about
27:37
the operation We did talk about timing
27:39
it was a mistake to include a
27:42
journalist and period end of story. It
27:44
was a mistake. It was a mistake.
27:46
It was careless. We have to take
27:48
steps to make sure it wouldn't happen
27:51
not going to happen again. That's what
27:53
have ended the whole thing Mike
27:56
Waltz went on Laura Ingram last
27:58
night. I just want to give
28:01
you this sense for how preposterous
28:03
this has now become, how insulting
28:05
so many of these explanations are.
28:08
Laura Ingram, to her credit, wanted
28:10
to know how it is that
28:12
Jeffrey Goldberg's phone number ended up
28:15
saved in Mike Walter's phone and
28:17
why that happened. Now I don't
28:19
know how many of you have
28:22
used signal before, but. When you
28:24
open the signal app, the only
28:26
people with whom you can start
28:28
communicating are people who are saved
28:31
in your phone. You have to
28:33
have somebody saved in your phone
28:35
in order to send them a
28:38
message. You can't just type a
28:40
random number in. And then if
28:42
you create a new signal group
28:45
that permits you to speak with
28:47
multiple signal users at once, you
28:49
have to add, people to your
28:52
group and the only options that
28:54
you have are people whose contacts
28:56
are saved in your phone. If
28:58
you want to add somebody whose
29:01
contact is not saved in your
29:03
phone, you have to first save
29:05
their contact in your phone. That's
29:08
the only way you can add
29:10
them to a signal group. I
29:12
understand why Mike Walsh doesn't want
29:15
to admit that he had Jeffrey
29:17
Goldberg's number saved in his phone.
29:19
Because Jeffrey Goldberg is one of
29:22
the most dishonest... Ian, one of
29:24
the most vehemently anti- trump, media
29:26
people in all of Washington and
29:28
Trump, Mike Walter's boss, harbors a
29:31
severe hatred for Jeffrey Goldberg. As
29:33
you saw with Pete Exet, Trump
29:35
has said some more things. They
29:38
hate Jeffrey Goldberg. And if they
29:40
know that Mike Walter's chatting with
29:42
Jeffrey Goldberg, or has his contact
29:45
information saved in his phone, if
29:47
you weren't actually chatting with him.
29:50
That would be something that would trigger
29:53
Donald Trump's rage like you have Jeffrey
29:55
Goldberg you talked to Jeffrey Goldberg And
29:57
so instead of just admitting that this
29:59
is what happened was too scared to
30:01
admit that he had Jeffrey Goldberg's phone
30:04
number saved in his phone. To war
30:06
Ingram's credit, and I'm not surprised at
30:08
all that she did it, she's done
30:10
it many times before, she quite persistently
30:12
and adversarially questioned Mike Walsh on this
30:14
very question, I want you to listen
30:17
to the utter babbling, the preposterous defense.
30:19
The attempts to justify how this could
30:21
have happened that came out of Mike
30:23
Walter's mouth. Remember, this is the national
30:25
security advisor. The person closest to the
30:27
president on matters of national security. Somebody
30:30
responsible for possessing and safeguarding the most
30:32
sensitive secrets that our government possesses. Here's
30:34
his attempt to explain away how we
30:36
had Jeffrey Goldberg's number in his phone.
30:38
And I know him in the sense
30:41
that he hates the president, but I
30:43
don't text him, he wasn't on my
30:45
phone, and we're going to figure out
30:47
how this happened. So you don't know
30:49
what Stafford is responsible for this right
30:51
now? Well look a staffer wasn't responsible
30:54
and look I take full responsibility I
30:56
built the I built the group to
30:58
admit my job is to make sure
31:00
everything's coordinated I mean I don't mean
31:02
to be pedantic here but how did
31:04
the number have you ever had to
31:07
have you ever had somebody's contact that
31:09
shows their name and then you have
31:11
and then you have somebody else's number.
31:13
on someone else's contact. So of course
31:15
I didn't see this loser in the
31:18
group. It looked like someone else. Now
31:20
whether he did it deliberately or it
31:22
happened in some other technical mean is
31:24
something we're trying to figure out. So
31:26
your your staff for did not put
31:28
his contact information. No, no, no, no,
31:31
no. That's what we're trying to figure.
31:33
Okay. But that's a pretty big. That
31:35
is what we've got the best technical
31:37
minds, right? That's disturbing. And that's where,
31:39
I mean, I'm sure everybody out there
31:41
has had a contact where it was
31:44
said one person and then a different
31:46
phone number. But you've never talked to
31:48
him before, so how's the number on
31:50
your phone? I mean, I'm not an
31:52
expert on any of this, but it's
31:55
just curious. How's the number on your
31:57
phone? Well, if you have somebody else's...
31:59
and then it and then somehow it's
32:01
stuck in you that it gets sucked
32:03
in was there someone else supposed to
32:05
be on the chat that wasn't on
32:08
the chat that you thought so the
32:10
person that I thought was on there
32:12
was never on there it was this
32:14
was that's what person's well I'm not
32:16
look I take I take responsibility I
32:18
built the I built the group okay
32:21
so that's that's the part that we
32:23
have to figure out Oh,
32:25
we have to convene all of
32:27
the greatest technological minds and the
32:29
scientists and the computer experts and
32:32
security experts from all around the
32:34
world to investigate how it possibly
32:36
could be the case that Jeffrey
32:38
Goldberg's contact information and phone number
32:40
was stored in Mike Walt's phone
32:43
sufficient to allow Mike Waltz to
32:45
put him into the signal group.
32:47
And when Laura Ingram said to
32:49
him... What do you mean? How
32:51
did the number get saved in
32:54
your phone if you never talked
32:56
to him? How did it get
32:58
saved there? He's like, oh, well,
33:00
what happens is I'm sure you
33:02
had this experience. It's like, sometimes
33:05
this contact you have saved has
33:07
a totally different number of a
33:09
different, has that ever happened to
33:11
you? But then she still said,
33:13
like, okay, even that, given that's
33:16
the case, Jeffrey Goldberg's phone number
33:18
in contact information ended up in
33:20
your phone. And
33:22
it was identified as Jeffrey Goldberg, the graphic
33:24
and the signal chat said JG, which is
33:27
Jeffrey Goldberg's initials. And he said, oh yeah,
33:29
yeah, what happens is, like, when this happens,
33:31
the number gets sucked in. It gets sucked
33:34
in. It's totally what happens, like, the iPhone,
33:36
like, oh yeah, so many times. You know
33:38
there are these people who I don't want
33:40
to talk to, who I don't, I'm not
33:43
supposed to talk to, but my iPhone just
33:45
sucks in their contact information and their name
33:47
and I'm like, oh my god, how did
33:49
they get in my contacts? How did that
33:52
happen? How do I have their phone number
33:54
and their name and my, oh, oh, yeah,
33:56
the phone sucked it in, like sucked it
33:59
in from where? It's
34:01
laughable. It's ridiculous. It's insulting that
34:03
they would continue this preposterous charade.
34:05
From the beginning, Mike Waltz says
34:08
he doesn't know who Jeffrey Goldberg
34:10
is. He's never talked to Jeffrey
34:12
Goldberg. Oh, by the way, here
34:14
is another image that the Atlantica
34:17
released today. Jeffrey Goldberg in his
34:19
original story said... that he was
34:21
added to the chat group that
34:24
he got an invitation and added
34:26
to the chat group by Mike
34:28
Walton. Just again, for those of
34:31
you who don't use signal, if
34:33
somebody who has your contact information
34:35
stored in their phone, which again
34:38
is a prerequisite to adding you
34:40
to a signal group, tries to
34:42
put you into the signal group,
34:44
signal will send you a message
34:47
saying, this person, Mike Waltz, has
34:49
added you, wants to add you
34:51
to a signal group. Do you
34:54
accept or do you reject or
34:56
do you reject? And then once
34:58
you hit accept, you become part
35:01
of the And the group messages
35:03
signal messages to the entire group
35:05
that the person who added by
35:07
somebody else. So here you see
35:10
this is the who is the
35:12
PC small group and let's pull
35:14
up the Highlighter just to show
35:17
you here. So here's what it
35:19
says. Mike Waltz added you to
35:21
the group. This is Jeffrey Goldberg's
35:24
phone. There were only 19 members.
35:26
It was intended to be a
35:28
small group talking about the Houthi
35:30
operation. And there the first message
35:33
is Mike Waltz says team establishing
35:35
a principles group for coordination on
35:37
Houthi's, particularly over the next 72
35:40
hours. My deputy Alex Wong is
35:42
pulling together a tiger team at
35:44
deputies agency chief of staff level,
35:47
following up from the meeting. Now
35:49
I heard a lot of Trump
35:51
supporters trying to claim. to pin
35:54
the blame on his assistant or
35:56
his staffer Alex Wong. Like Waltz
35:58
is willing to say anything to
36:00
defend himself, you just saw that,
36:03
but he's not willing to falsely
36:05
blame Alex Wong. Why, anyway, if you're
36:07
the National Security Advisor, would you be
36:09
handing out your phone, your personal telephone,
36:12
to staffers and they have just access to
36:14
it? They can go in like delete contacts,
36:16
add contacts, access all your personal information
36:18
that's not something a national security advisor
36:21
should be doing. If that were the
36:23
explanation, that might even be worse, more
36:25
reckless. But that's not
36:28
what happened. It says right here, Mike
36:30
Waltz added Jeffrey Goldberg to the group.
36:32
And again, the only way you could
36:34
do that is if you have Jeffrey
36:37
Goldberg's number saved in your phone. Now,
36:39
Mike Waltz has been insisting from the
36:41
beginning, I don't know Jeffrey Goldberg,
36:44
I've never met him, I've never talked to
36:46
him. Here is a photo from October
36:48
2021 that people dug up.
36:50
It's from the French philosopher
36:52
and Warmonger Bernard Henriari Enri
36:54
Levy Levy. And on October
36:56
29th, 2021, he tweeted launch
36:59
of the Will to see,
37:01
thanks Ambassador 18, thanks for
37:04
being there. And then he
37:06
goes to the people who were in
37:08
this, you can see this small
37:10
group of people, about
37:12
seven people, Alanarzi,
37:15
Bayan Raman, Raman,
37:17
Jeffrey Goldberg, David
37:19
Tafari, Michael Waltz,
37:21
Sinom 56, the Tom
37:23
Kaplan, Emily. Hilton and you
37:25
see here, this is Mike Waltz and
37:28
Jeffrey Goldberg, they are standing right next
37:30
to each other. Now, I don't know,
37:32
maybe you stood next to somebody
37:34
on a stage before, and even though
37:36
you work in exactly the same area,
37:38
Jeffrey Goldberg is a
37:40
national security reporter, Mike Waltz,
37:43
member of Congress, works in
37:45
national security, who is very well known
37:48
in DC, has been around forever. There you
37:50
see the two of them in an up
37:52
close. Maybe actually just
37:54
didn't talk to him. You never
37:56
remember this. It's a total coincidence.
38:00
that the person whose contact and
38:02
number is saved in your phone
38:04
is somebody that you were about
38:06
three inches from in a small group
38:08
meeting on a stage. But the other
38:10
side, you know, I said before that a
38:12
lot of people are saying, wait a
38:14
minute, like why would Mike Waltz be
38:17
talking to somebody like Jeffrey Goldberg,
38:19
one of the most anti-
38:21
trump fraudsters in all of
38:23
Washington? But the other side of that is
38:26
important to realize who Jeffrey
38:28
Goldberg is. New York
38:30
Post, and I think we have this,
38:33
but we'll just, I'll take my word
38:35
for it now, published a
38:37
headline saying something like, Lefty
38:39
Journalist was added to the
38:42
tweet. There it is, you
38:44
see, at the top, Trump
38:46
team accidentally added Lefty Editor
38:48
to Secret Tax Group, to
38:50
Tax Group, planning the M&
38:52
raids. Operation overshare is
38:54
what the post called it.
38:57
The idea that Jeffrey Goldberg
38:59
is a lefty is so funny.
39:01
Jeffrey Goldberg is an American
39:03
who left college in order
39:05
to go join a foreign
39:07
military. You'll never guess which
39:09
country never take one guess. Yeah,
39:12
exactly the idea if you want to
39:14
join the IDF He worked for the
39:16
during the first intifata as a
39:18
prison guard and an Israeli
39:21
idea of prison that
39:23
detained Palestinians with no due
39:25
process It's notorious for being
39:27
abusive. He talked about abuses that he
39:30
saw and helped cover up. He wrote
39:32
a book about his experience after.
39:34
So he went and joined the IDF, and then
39:36
he became one of the loudest advocates
39:38
of the war in Iraq. Here's the
39:40
stories I referenced earlier, but he was
39:43
at the New Yorker in the run-up
39:45
to the Iraq war in 2002. He
39:47
talked about Saddam Hussein's genocidal war on
39:49
the Kurds end of his possible ties
39:51
to al-Qaeda. And then
39:54
here he is in October of 2020,
39:56
of 2002, just about five months before
39:58
the invasion of Iraq began. on C-SPAN
40:00
again claiming that Saddam
40:03
Hussein had an alliance
40:06
with al-Qaeda, obviously implying
40:08
to the American people that
40:11
he must be in bed with,
40:13
those who did 9-11,
40:16
if not himself, personally
40:18
participating in its planning.
40:20
The piece of news that's come
40:23
from this story that some
40:25
people have been talking about
40:27
is the following. When I
40:29
was in Kurdistan, I started
40:31
hearing a lot about a
40:33
Muslim fundamentalist terror group called
40:36
the Ansar al-Islam, which means
40:38
supporters of Islam, operate in
40:40
the corner of Kurdistan, al-Qaeda
40:42
influenced ideologically, theologically, run by
40:44
a group of Kurds and
40:47
Arabs who have cycled through
40:49
Osama's trainings. camps. It's been
40:51
assumed that this group has Al-Qaeda
40:53
influenced even Al-Qaeda directed. What I
40:56
found, and I can go into
40:58
it a little bit if you
41:00
want, how I found this out,
41:02
is that there are serious allegations
41:05
that the group is actually co-sponsored,
41:07
if you will, by Al-Qaeda and
41:09
by Saddam's. intelligence agency. I found
41:12
a number of other, I heard
41:14
a number of other credible allegations
41:16
that Saddam and Al-Qaeda have actually
41:18
been working together on any number
41:21
of projects. And if these
41:23
allegations are true, obviously, the
41:25
implications are quite serious. Yeah,
41:27
they are quite serious. That
41:30
would mean that Saddam Hussein
41:32
probably played a role in
41:34
9-11, but unfortunately, it was a
41:36
complete lie. And there was a time, for
41:38
those of you who don't remember, were too
41:40
old, were too young to have lived through
41:43
it, that they were constantly leaking
41:45
that Muhammad Atta, one of the lead
41:47
hijackers for the 9-11 attack, met
41:49
with Iraqi intelligence officials in
41:51
Prague, very similar to what Russia
41:54
Gate was. They just make up lies,
41:56
based on whatever the needs of the
41:58
moment are, remember they have. had
42:00
all kinds of claims from
42:02
the Steele dossier about close
42:04
Trump associates going in meeting
42:06
with the Russians and Prague.
42:09
Same kind of modus operandi,
42:11
same kind of lie. In
42:13
any reasonably healthy society, this
42:15
would have destroyed Jeffrey Goldberg's
42:17
career. That he lied the
42:19
country into a devastating war
42:21
that took the lives of
42:24
thousands of American soldiers and
42:26
hundreds of thousands if not
42:28
more Iraqis. That
42:30
even Tony Blair, an advocate of
42:33
this war, says is what gave
42:35
rise to ISIS because of the
42:37
instability in the vacuum that we
42:39
created. This was a major, major
42:41
destruction of American credibility, of American
42:43
lives, of American treasure. And I
42:46
just showed you Jeffrey Goldberg going
42:48
all over the place. Just tiny
42:50
sample of him making up the
42:52
crucial eye necessary to convince Americans.
42:54
Just saying it's hot and hot
42:57
weapons of mass destruction, that falsehood,
42:59
that wasn't enough. Americans wanted... to
43:01
support wars against the people who
43:03
did 9-11. This was a year
43:05
after on 11. That's what they
43:07
wanted. And the only way you
43:10
could sell the Iraq Wars if
43:12
you convince them that Saddam Hussein
43:14
was actually in bed with al-Qaeda,
43:16
Osama bin Laden, completely ignoring the
43:18
Sunni Shia split, the bathite nature
43:21
of the Saddam Hussein regime, just
43:23
ignoring all of that. And Jeffrey
43:25
Goldberg happily stepped forward and provided
43:27
that false link. was showered with
43:29
journalism award for this incredible investigation,
43:31
and it didn't impede his career
43:34
at art. It helped his career.
43:36
So it's not a surprise that
43:38
Jeffrey Goldberg himself, on the other
43:40
side of the story, is also
43:42
lying. He went on the bulwark,
43:45
the Never Trump, website, which is
43:47
where he belongs, and spoke to
43:49
lifelong GOP operative, turned Democratic cheerleader
43:51
Tim Miller. And Tim Miller was,
43:53
this was before the release. today
43:55
of more material. This was yesterday
43:58
when Jeffrey Goldberg claimed all sorts
44:00
of things about what was in
44:02
material. The Trump administration said he's
44:04
lying. So Tim Miller was saying,
44:06
pressuring him to say, you need
44:09
to release this and show that
44:11
it's actually in there. And at
44:13
the time, Jeffrey Goldberg was very
44:15
reluctant to do so and listened
44:17
to him explaining why he didn't
44:19
think he could or should. Secretary
44:23
of Defense and the White House
44:25
press secretary have said you're lying,
44:27
has said there are no war
44:29
plans there, have said there's no
44:32
classified information. So the obvious question
44:34
is shouldn't you now demonstrate it?
44:36
Shouldn't you publish the text? No,
44:39
because they're wrong. They're wrong. But
44:41
how can you prove that you're
44:43
wrong? Maybe, should you provide them
44:45
to the House and Senate special
44:48
committees on intelligence, maybe? I don't
44:50
know. Wow. Well, you want to
44:52
become my lawyer? I'm just, I'm
44:55
just, I'm throwing this out there,
44:57
Jeff. I don't, I don't know.
44:59
I mean, look, I feel like,
45:01
no, no, no, no. I mean,
45:04
I, obviously, let me just put
45:06
it this way. My colleagues and
45:08
I, and the advice that, and
45:11
the people who are giving us
45:13
advice on this, have some interesting
45:15
conversations to have about this. But
45:17
just because they're irresponsible with material,
45:20
doesn't mean that I'm going to
45:22
be irresponsible with this material. And
45:24
you know what? I could, whatever.
45:26
I mean, you've had long history
45:29
as I have with dealing with
45:31
them. And at moments like this,
45:33
when they're under pressure because they've
45:36
been caught with their hand in
45:38
the cookie jar or whatever, you
45:40
know, they will just literally say
45:42
anything to get out of the
45:45
moment, to get out of the
45:47
gym. And that's okay. I get
45:49
it. I get the defensive reaction.
45:52
And, but here's the thing. My
45:54
obligation, I feel is to. to
45:56
the idea that we take national
45:58
security information seriously and maybe there's
46:01
and maybe maybe in the coming
46:03
days I'll I'll be able to
46:05
let you know that okay I
46:08
have a I have a plan
46:10
to to have this material vetted
46:12
publicly but I'm not going to
46:14
say that now because there's a
46:17
lot of conversations that have to
46:19
happen about that. All of my
46:21
inclinations as you can tell including
46:24
withholding the name of the CIA
46:26
undercover officer all of my inclinations
46:28
are I have a pretty clear
46:30
standards. I have a pretty clear
46:33
standards. in my own behavior of
46:35
what I consider information that I
46:37
consider. Now you heard him claim
46:39
there in order to escalate the
46:42
seriousness of what happened that the
46:44
name of a CIA undercover operative
46:46
was included in the chat. That
46:49
is a complete lie. The only
46:51
name of anyone who worked at
46:53
the CIA besides John Radcliffe who
46:55
was mentioned in the chat all
46:58
the principles, the head of the
47:00
agencies, were designating who their representatives
47:02
and chiefs of staff were, was
47:05
the chief of staff of the
47:07
CIA, the person who works for
47:09
John Radcliffe and manages his team.
47:11
She's not an undercover agent. An
47:14
undercover agent is someone deployed in
47:16
a field and say like Lebanon
47:18
or Syria, pretending to be a
47:21
store clerk or a weapons dealer,
47:23
but in reality is someone who
47:25
works with the CIA and if
47:27
you identify them as a CIA
47:30
agent. you blow their cover and
47:32
that puts them in danger. That's
47:34
what a CIA undercover operative is.
47:37
It would be incredibly responsible for
47:39
John Radcliffe to have put the
47:41
name of a CIA undercover operative
47:43
in this chat. Even to do
47:46
that among 17 people is reckless.
47:48
That's the thing you guard the
47:50
most. And Jeffrey Goldberg to try
47:53
and justify why this is so
47:55
grave, he hates the Trump administration,
47:57
he said it there, and why
47:59
he cannot release any more information,
48:02
just fabricated. on the spot that
48:04
there was a CIA undercover operative
48:06
who was named in the chat.
48:08
Here from the Atlantic itself, they
48:11
admit that that's not true. Quote,
48:13
a CIA spokesperson asked us to
48:15
withhold the name of John Radcliffe's
48:18
chief of staff, which Radcliffe has
48:20
shared in the signal chain because
48:22
CIA intelligence officers are traditionally not
48:24
publicly identified. Radcliffe has testified yesterday
48:27
that the officers not undercover. and
48:29
said it was quote completely appropriate
48:31
to share their name in the
48:34
signal conversation we will continue to
48:36
with all the name of the
48:38
officer otherwise the messages are unredacted.
48:40
It was just totally false that
48:43
the that there was another cover
48:45
agent in that in that chat
48:47
even though Jeffrey Goldberg said it.
48:50
Now I want to go to
48:52
a part of these releases that
48:54
were about the war itself. We
48:56
had gone over some of these
48:59
excerpts on Monday, and when they
49:01
were talking about whether they should
49:03
bomb Yemen, J.D. Vance was the
49:06
only person in the chat who
49:08
actually raised objections to it. He
49:10
called it, quote, a mistake. And
49:12
he said, look, if this is
49:15
what your decision is, I won't
49:17
object publicly. But he noted that
49:19
there is very little American interest.
49:22
in the Suez Canal, maybe like
49:24
3% of the trade in the
49:27
Suez Canal is American, whereas 30%
49:29
to 40% he says is European.
49:31
If anything, this matters to Europe
49:33
and to Egypt, but not to
49:35
the United States. Obviously it benefits
49:38
Israel as well as Tom Cotton
49:40
said, because the Houthis have been
49:42
bombing Israel and threatening to seize
49:44
their ships. And so J.D. Vance
49:46
said we're supposed to be America
49:49
first foreign policy. Why are we
49:51
going to bombing campaigns and wars
49:53
again to... salvage the interest of
49:55
other people. But he wasn't the
49:57
only one who actually said that
50:00
the. Other person who talked about
50:02
some hesitation was the former congressional
50:04
candidate, the Green Berets, whose wife
50:06
was killed working for the CIA
50:08
in Syria with the battle with
50:10
ISIS. And that's Joe Kent, who
50:13
Tulsa Gabbard has now chosen as
50:15
her chief of staff. or her
50:17
deputy and he was the one
50:19
he was the one she designated
50:21
to represent her and he said
50:24
quote there is nothing time sensitive
50:26
driving the timeline will have the
50:28
exact same options in a month
50:30
jade advance and said look this
50:32
is a mistake but let's wait
50:35
a month there's no reason not
50:37
to and then it'll give us
50:39
more time to figure this out
50:41
and so Joe Kent is also
50:43
pushing that option like why do
50:46
we have to do this now
50:48
let's wait He said quote the
50:50
Israelis will likely take take strikes
50:52
and therefore ask us for more
50:54
to replenish whatever they use against
50:57
the Houthis But that's a minor
50:59
factor. I will send you the
51:01
Unclassified data we pulled on Bam
51:03
shipping So there was an added
51:05
voice of caution or at least
51:07
pushback and hesitation on this Yemen
51:10
bombing plan and that was Tulsi
51:12
Gabbard's chief of staff Joe Kent
51:14
now There was a
51:16
segment of these chats that
51:18
were about the bombing campaign
51:20
itself that happened not before
51:23
the bombing campaign, but as
51:25
the first strikes happened. And
51:27
it started with Mike Walt
51:29
saying, we just had that
51:31
on the screen, we go
51:33
back to that. We just,
51:35
he said, Let me just
51:37
pull this up. At 148
51:40
p.m. Mike Walt sent the
51:42
following text containing real-time intelligence
51:44
about conditions at an attack
51:46
site, apparently in SANA. He
51:48
said VP building collapse had
51:50
multiple positive ID. And it
51:52
was unclear what he was
51:54
referring to. He said, the
51:56
Atlantic article says, Mike Walsh
51:59
was referring here to Hegstaff,
52:01
General Michael Carilla, the commander
52:03
of Central Command in the
52:05
intelligence community or I see.
52:07
But Jady Vance didn't understand
52:09
the message from Waltz. It
52:11
was just written in a
52:13
very incoherent way. So Jady
52:16
Vance said, what? And then
52:18
Mike Walter responded this way.
52:20
Typing too fast, basically, sorry,
52:22
typing too fast. The first
52:24
target, their top missile guy,
52:26
we had positive idea of
52:28
him walking into his girlfriend's
52:30
building, walking into his girlfriend's
52:32
building, and now it's collapsed.
52:35
And then after that, JD
52:37
Vance responded a minute later,
52:39
excellent. And then 35 minutes
52:41
after that, Ratcliffe, the CIA
52:43
director wrote, a good start.
52:45
And then Waltz followed with
52:47
a series of emogies, an
52:49
American flag emoji, a fist
52:52
emoji, and a fire emoji.
52:54
So I just want to
52:56
highlight this, that this is
52:58
what the Emmon bombing campaign
53:00
entailed to start off. They
53:02
identified someone that they claimed
53:04
was a top missile person
53:06
for the hoofies. They didn't
53:08
kill him in his car.
53:11
They didn't kill him on
53:13
a battlefield. They waited for
53:15
him to enter a residential
53:17
building filled with civilians, including
53:19
his girlfriend. And the
53:21
way they killed him was by
53:23
collapsing the entire building. And that
53:25
first day there were many claims
53:28
of civilian deaths. And unsurprisingly, given
53:30
that these were the rules of
53:32
engagement. Is that something that you
53:34
think is a legitimate military strategy?
53:36
To find somebody that is, in
53:38
your view, a legitimate target? and
53:40
just blowing up whatever building they're
53:42
in regardless of how many civilians
53:45
you kill. If during the Iraq
53:47
war, the Iraqis had identified where
53:49
a military commander lived and he
53:51
lived in some 47 foot... 47
53:53
for High-rise apartment in Chicago, would
53:55
he have had the, would the
53:57
Iraqis have had the right to
54:00
just blow up the entire building
54:02
and said, well, there was one
54:04
guy in there who was a
54:06
legitimate target? Or what if the
54:08
Yemenis or the Palestinians pull up
54:10
a building now in which there
54:12
was located some kind of military
54:14
commander and they blow up a
54:17
building in Washington or they blow
54:19
up an apartment building in New
54:21
York? And their excuse was, well,
54:23
there was one guy in there
54:25
who was a military commander and
54:27
legit, but we would instantly call
54:29
that terrorism. We would say, oh,
54:32
that's an act of terrorism. You
54:34
blew up an apartment building and
54:36
you killed 37 American civilians along
54:38
with one member of the military.
54:40
But of course, when we do
54:42
it, it's not terrorism. Somehow it
54:44
becomes legitimate. But if that's what
54:46
this bombing campaign is, collapsing residential
54:49
buildings. in order to take out
54:51
some mid-level missile person or they're
54:53
taught missile person even, who will
54:55
just get replaced. Very easily, it's
54:57
happened throughout the entire world on
54:59
terror. We were told so many
55:01
times, hey, we got the number
55:04
three person of al-Qaeda. And everyone
55:06
cheered. And then like a year
55:08
later, they're like, hey, we got
55:10
the number three person of al-Qaeda.
55:12
And then like a year later,
55:14
they're like, hey, we got the
55:16
number three person of al-Qaeda. Last
55:19
year, Biden's argument was they're bombing
55:21
Israel and they're attacking our ships,
55:23
and Trump said bombing Yemen is
55:25
totally unnecessary. You should pick up
55:27
the phone and use diplomacy to
55:29
resolve it. And now not only
55:31
is Trump doing exactly what Joe
55:33
Biden did, bombing Yemen, and what
55:36
Barack Obama did as well, when
55:38
he worked with the Saudis for
55:40
a full-on war with Turkey, just
55:42
endless war in the Middle East,
55:44
but he's loosened the rules of
55:46
engagement apparently, so that the military
55:48
is free to blow up entire...
55:51
residential apartment buildings as long as
55:53
one person that they want to
55:55
kill is in there not caring
55:57
in the slightest about how many
55:59
civilians or children. or whoever happens
56:01
to be, unfortunately, had the misfortune
56:03
of being in that apartment building
56:05
when it's quote unquote collapse, how
56:08
many people are killed with it.
56:10
So there's a lot going on
56:12
in this story, most of it
56:14
quite ugly and unnecessary, and eroding
56:16
of credibility for absolutely no reason.
56:18
But the most significant part by
56:20
far is the fact that we
56:23
now have another war in the
56:25
Middle East that is going to
56:27
be ongoing, that's not going to
56:29
stop. And just to
56:31
remind you, the Huthis were actually
56:33
attacking U.S. ships when Biden was
56:35
bombing them and when Trump said
56:38
the bombing campaign was unnecessary. Once
56:40
there was a ceasefire in Gaza
56:42
that Trump and his envoy was
56:44
able to, were able to facilitate,
56:46
the Huthis stopped attacking ships and
56:49
they said, now that there's a
56:51
ceasefire, we don't need to attack
56:53
ships anymore. And they only restarted
56:55
attacking ships once in their view.
56:57
everyone in the international community agrees
56:59
that this happened. Once the Israeli
57:02
started blocking the humanitarian aid that
57:04
the ceasefire called for, food, medicine,
57:06
water into Gaza, and they said,
57:08
because Israel is abiding by the
57:10
ceasefire agreement, we're only going to
57:12
attack Israel flagged or Israel-owned ships.
57:15
So they're not even attacking American
57:17
ships anymore, just Israel's. And that
57:19
is what prompted Trump, after saying
57:21
last year that he opposed it,
57:23
that he opposed it. to restart
57:25
Biden's war and to escalate it
57:28
and clearly killing a ton of
57:30
civilians as usual. And then at
57:32
some point we'll be attacked and
57:34
everybody will walk around saying, oh
57:36
my God, what did we do?
57:39
Why did they hate us? And
57:41
I think that has to be
57:43
the focus once this question of
57:45
how Jeffrey Goldberg got into the
57:47
chat is resolved and we can
57:49
move on from that. This is
57:52
what our focus ought to be.

59:07
things to watch over the last
59:09
several years ever since the Russian
59:12
invasion in February of 2022 and
59:14
Ukraine is watching Europeans and European
59:17
officials and European officials and Brussels
59:19
bureaucrats and bureaucrats start acting like
59:21
they're refighting World War II or
59:24
fighting World War III against the
59:26
Russia. They all have to walk
59:28
around. We're going to defeat Russia.
59:31
You have German leaders talking about
59:33
sending tanks for the third time
59:36
in the last hundred years. Eastward
59:38
toward Russia, which they ultimately did.
59:40
You have German leaders in an
59:43
outdoor rally saying, we must defeat
59:45
Russia. We must take them down.
59:49
And you have all these tiny
59:51
little countries and their tiny little
59:53
prime ministers, talking about like with
59:56
a million people in the entire
59:58
country, acting like their Winston-Trus. And
1:00:00
ever since the pronouncements by Donald
1:00:02
Trump about his intentions to say,
1:00:05
we're not going to keep paying
1:00:07
for your defense, you're off this
1:00:09
very ample welfare state to your
1:00:12
people and they love it, that's
1:00:14
understandable. They get a lot of
1:00:16
benefits, but why are our workers
1:00:18
paying for your defense? You're not
1:00:21
impoverished. You're perfectly capable of doing
1:00:23
it yourself ever since they've gone
1:00:25
completely insane Acting like okay. Now
1:00:28
we're going to become the military
1:00:30
superpower. We were always meant to
1:00:32
be without the United States The
1:00:34
problem is Europe is a joke
1:00:37
militarily. They're an absolute joke France
1:00:39
in the UK have a small
1:00:41
nuclear arsenal So that makes them
1:00:44
serious on that level, but in
1:00:46
terms of conventional military fighting They're
1:00:48
laughable in fact in that signal
1:00:50
chat group that we just went
1:00:53
over. Mike Waltz, because JD Vance
1:00:55
was saying, why are we fighting
1:00:57
this fight for Europe again? Aren't
1:01:00
we sending the signal that we're
1:01:02
not going to fight their fights,
1:01:04
we're not going to pay for
1:01:06
their fights? Forty percent, they're the
1:01:09
ones who need the Suez Canal,
1:01:11
not Americans, we barely use it.
1:01:13
And Mike Waltz, who was eager
1:01:15
to do the bombing, as was
1:01:18
PXF. said this, quote, whether we
1:01:20
pull the plug or not today,
1:01:22
European navies do not have the
1:01:25
capability to defend against the types
1:01:27
of sophisticated anti-ship cruise missiles and
1:01:29
drones who these are now using.
1:01:31
So whether it's now or several
1:01:34
weeks from now, it will have
1:01:36
to be the United States that
1:01:38
reopens these shipping lanes. Per the
1:01:41
President's request, we are working with
1:01:43
the OD in state to determine
1:01:45
how to compile the costs associated
1:01:47
and levy them on the European.
1:01:50
So according to... Mike Waltz, now's
1:01:52
a screen advisor, Europe doesn't even
1:01:54
have the military capability to fight
1:01:57
the Houthis. Their Navy is insufficient.
1:01:59
The Houthis have more... sophisticated weaponry
1:02:01
and more fighting capability than
1:02:03
the Europeans, who nonetheless
1:02:05
have been walking around beating their
1:02:07
chest, we're Europe, we're going to build
1:02:09
our own military, we're going to fight
1:02:12
Russia, we're going to defeat them, consign
1:02:14
them to the ash heap of history,
1:02:16
we don't need the United States. All
1:02:18
of that rhetoric is about three weeks
1:02:20
old, and already Europe is
1:02:22
confronting the reality that they're
1:02:25
Europe, and that none of that tough
1:02:27
talk is possible. Even the
1:02:29
New York Times is mocking them now.
1:02:31
Here's the New York Times from today.
1:02:33
Europe talks top on military spending,
1:02:35
but unity is fracturing. Quote,
1:02:37
European leaders are struggling to
1:02:39
find the money and the political will
1:02:42
to replace the bulk of the US
1:02:44
contribution to Ukraine and to their own
1:02:46
defense. The article begins, quote, the
1:02:48
Dutch and others are not fans
1:02:50
of raising collective debt for defense,
1:02:52
keeping hungry on board is even
1:02:54
more difficult. And when the President
1:02:57
of the European Commission, Ursula
1:02:59
von der Leyen, announced a plan
1:03:01
for billions more for the military,
1:03:04
called Rearm Europe, two of
1:03:06
the bloc's largest countries, Italy and
1:03:08
Spain, thought that that was all
1:03:10
a bit aggressive. So now the
1:03:12
plan has been rebranded as Readiness
1:03:15
2030. Cajacales, the former
1:03:17
Prime Minister of Estonia, which
1:03:19
has a population of about
1:03:21
1.1 million people, fewer the number
1:03:23
of people who live in Paris.
1:03:26
She resigned in disgrace from the Prime Minister's
1:03:28
ship because her husband got caught doing millions
1:03:30
of dollars in business with Russia at a
1:03:33
time She was saying Russia is the root
1:03:35
of all evil and we have to sanction
1:03:37
them But she had a very safe
1:03:39
landing. She's now the chief foreign and
1:03:42
security official for the European Union She
1:03:44
has been a forceful advocate I would
1:03:46
call deranged for supporting Ukraine as a
1:03:48
first line of European defense against an
1:03:50
aggressive militarized Russia But it has been
1:03:52
a rocky start from his callus Her
1:03:55
effort to get the EU to provide up
1:03:57
to 40 billion dollar 40 billion euros more
1:03:59
than 40 $23 billion to Ukraine through
1:04:01
a small fixed percentage levy on
1:04:04
each country's national income has gone
1:04:06
nowhere. Her backup proposal, just for
1:04:08
an added $5 billion is the
1:04:11
first step for providing Ukraine two
1:04:13
million artillery shells this year, was
1:04:16
also rejected by Italy, Slovakia, and
1:04:18
even France, any official said. Speaking
1:04:20
anonymously in accordance with diplomatic practice,
1:04:23
the countries insisted that contributions to
1:04:25
Ukraine remain voluntary, bilateral, and not
1:04:27
requested by Brussels. And her recent
1:04:30
response to Mr. Trump's effort to
1:04:32
push Ukraine into a ceasefire without
1:04:35
security assurances rub many the wrong
1:04:37
way, both in Europe and Washington
1:04:39
as dangerously premature. Quote, the free
1:04:42
world needs a new leader. She
1:04:44
wrote on X, it's up to
1:04:46
us, Europeans to take on this
1:04:49
challenge. But in
1:04:51
fact, the Europeans are working hard
1:04:53
to respond to Mr. Trump in
1:04:56
a convincing fashion. Ms. von der
1:04:58
Leyen sold to her armament of
1:05:00
readiness plan with a headline figure
1:05:03
of 800 billion euros. But only
1:05:05
150 billion euros of that is
1:05:07
real money available as long-term loans
1:05:10
for countries that wish to use
1:05:12
it for the military. The rest
1:05:14
simply represents a notional figure. A
1:05:17
four-year permission from the block for
1:05:19
countries to borrow even more for
1:05:22
military purposes out of their own
1:05:24
national budgets. Most of the European
1:05:26
countries are struggling greatly with their
1:05:29
economy. Their populations hate them. There's
1:05:31
massive anti-establishment sentiment throughout all of
1:05:33
Western Europe and even in Central
1:05:36
Europe. It's the reason why people
1:05:38
in the UK voted to leave
1:05:40
Brexit. to leave the EU with
1:05:43
Brexit because they didn't want to
1:05:45
be governed by these kinds of
1:05:47
people in Brussels. It's the reason
1:05:50
why right-wing populist parties that never,
1:05:52
that countries never thought would succeed
1:05:55
in France, in the Netherlands, in
1:05:57
Italy, and many more places. are
1:05:59
gaining in popularity because they're channeling
1:06:02
this anti-establishment sentiment and none of
1:06:04
these Europeans want to give up
1:06:06
the massive state benefits that they
1:06:09
get which is a crucial part
1:06:11
of being European a month occasion
1:06:13
in tons of time off or
1:06:16
paternity maternity leave or retiring early
1:06:18
working for days not working a
1:06:20
40-hour work week these are all
1:06:23
things essential to the Europeans they're
1:06:25
going to give that up to
1:06:28
build a massive military, go into
1:06:30
massive debt for it, especially when
1:06:32
a lot of these countries like
1:06:35
France are already in enormous amounts
1:06:37
of debt. And yet here is
1:06:39
Ursula von der Leyen, a war
1:06:42
longer and a German who nobody
1:06:44
elected to become the president of
1:06:46
the EU other than the members
1:06:49
of the EU Parliament. Here she
1:06:51
is on March 4th talking so
1:06:53
tough about her rearmament plan. We're
1:06:56
living in the most momentous and
1:06:58
dangerous of times. I do not
1:07:01
need to describe the grave nature
1:07:03
of the threats that we face
1:07:05
or the devastating consequences that we
1:07:08
will have to endure if those
1:07:10
threats would come to pass because
1:07:12
the question is no longer whether
1:07:15
Europe's security is threatened in a
1:07:17
very real way or whether Europe
1:07:19
should shoulder more. of its responsibility
1:07:22
for its own security? In truth,
1:07:24
we have long known the answers
1:07:27
to those questions. The real question
1:07:29
in front of us is whether
1:07:31
Europe is prepared to act as
1:07:34
decisively as the situation dictates. We
1:07:36
are in an era of rearmament.
1:07:38
And Europe is ready to massively
1:07:41
boost its defense spending. both to
1:07:43
respond to the short-term urgency to
1:07:45
act and to support Ukraine. And
1:07:48
also to address the long-term need
1:07:50
to take on more responsibility for
1:07:52
our own European security. One of
1:07:55
the ironies, by the way, she
1:07:57
said Europe is ready to rearm
1:08:00
and build our own defense, evidently
1:08:02
they're not. One of the ironies
1:08:04
of all of this is that
1:08:07
the most strident warmongers in Europe
1:08:09
are women politicians who are on
1:08:11
the center left, the center... of
1:08:14
European politics. And the reason I
1:08:16
say it's ironic is because the
1:08:18
most belligerent, aggressive, and war-mongering party
1:08:21
in all of Europe, when it
1:08:23
comes to Ukraine and Russia, when
1:08:25
it comes to Israel, when it
1:08:28
comes to a variety of other
1:08:30
potential wars, is the German Green
1:08:33
Party, whose figurehead is Anelina Babarik,
1:08:35
who is the foreign minister of
1:08:37
Germany. And the German Greens ran...
1:08:40
on a platform that elevated her
1:08:42
and the Greens to the Parliament,
1:08:44
they ran on a platform what
1:08:47
they called a feminist foreign policy.
1:08:49
They said, our party is dominated
1:08:51
by women, we're going to have
1:08:54
female officials in the most important
1:08:56
offices, and because women are more
1:08:58
inclined to resolve disputes through diplomacy
1:09:01
and conciliation and not with war
1:09:03
and aggression, a feminist foreign policy
1:09:06
is one that's less antagonistic, less
1:09:08
belligerent. That's the campaign they ran
1:09:10
on. Now, I personally find this
1:09:13
kind of essentializing men are more
1:09:15
aggressive and inclined to work, women
1:09:17
are more, whatever, conciliatory, to be
1:09:20
extremely reductive. And obviously you can
1:09:22
use that same reasoning, not to
1:09:24
elevate women, but to demean them.
1:09:27
A woman are more emotional, men
1:09:29
are more rational, women don't belong
1:09:31
in position to the power, etc.
1:09:34
That's the same exact kind of
1:09:36
thinking. But for whatever reason, the
1:09:39
most... Unhinged voices who practically think
1:09:41
they're at war with Russia and
1:09:43
are ready to build up this
1:09:46
military are women politicians in Europe
1:09:48
on the center and central And
1:09:50
one of them, Kajakales, who I
1:09:53
just mentioned, the former Prime Minister
1:09:55
of the crucial state of Estonia,
1:09:57
all 1 million people who live
1:10:00
there, has become so deranged that
1:10:02
she's even starting to genuinely disturb
1:10:04
a lot of European officials, including
1:10:07
many who are for the war
1:10:09
in Ukraine, but are very alarmed
1:10:12
by the way she's speaking. Here's
1:10:14
political EU today. Kaja Kalais is,
1:10:16
quote, acting like a prime minister,
1:10:19
critics of EU's top diplomats say.
1:10:21
Kaja Kalais's troubles started on her
1:10:23
first day. The EU's top diplomat
1:10:26
was on a trip to Kiev
1:10:28
when she tweeted, quote, the European
1:10:30
Union wants Ukraine to win this
1:10:33
war against Russia. Some EU officials
1:10:35
said they felt uneasy that the
1:10:37
head of the European external action
1:10:40
service less than a day into
1:10:42
her job felt that liberty to
1:10:45
go beyond what they considered to
1:10:47
be settled language more than two
1:10:49
years into Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
1:10:52
The aforementioned diplomat and nine other
1:10:54
EU diplomats and officials pointed to
1:10:56
what they viewed as a series
1:10:59
of missteps during Callis's first few
1:11:01
months on the job. From floating
1:11:03
heavy proposals without buy-in to taking
1:11:06
liberties with foreign policy statements, they
1:11:08
told Politico. She still has her
1:11:10
defenders, one of whom is the
1:11:13
Danish Prime Minister. Meddy Fertigson, another
1:11:15
female politician who is extremely pro-war
1:11:18
and backs Kajakhalais, a second diplomat
1:11:20
anonymously said, quote, overall we are
1:11:22
very happy with her. It goes
1:11:25
on, as Callis put her stamp
1:11:27
on the job pressuring EU countries
1:11:29
to give more military aid to
1:11:32
Ukraine, several diplomats chafed at her
1:11:34
leadership style complaining of what they
1:11:36
described as a lack of consultation
1:11:39
on sensitive matters. In subsequent months,
1:11:41
those concerns have only grown, including
1:11:43
regarding Callis' hawkishness on Russia. which
1:11:46
has left her out of step
1:11:48
with Spain and Italy, who do
1:11:51
not share her assessment of Moscow
1:11:53
as an imminent threat to the
1:11:55
EU. Quote, if you listen to
1:11:58
her, it seems we are at
1:12:00
war with Russia, which is not
1:12:02
the EU line, one EU official
1:12:05
complained. Then came the infamous exchange
1:12:07
by Jady Vance and US President
1:12:09
Donald Trump in the Oval Office
1:12:12
meeting with President Zelenski amid the
1:12:14
widespread shock at the vitriol aimed
1:12:16
at Zelenski. Callis tweeted that, quote,
1:12:19
the free world needs a new
1:12:21
leader. A comment that may have
1:12:24
matched the mood of indignation in
1:12:26
many parts of Europe, but also
1:12:28
irk countries adamant about maintaining a
1:12:31
bridge to the Trump White House.
1:12:33
Imagine the Prime Minister of Estonia
1:12:35
saying, we're now the leaders of
1:12:38
the free world, not the United
1:12:40
States. Quote, most countries don't want
1:12:42
to inflame things with the United
1:12:45
States at a sixth diplomat. Saying
1:12:47
the free world needs a new
1:12:50
leader just isn't what most leaders
1:12:52
wanted to put out there. Just
1:12:55
to give me the kind of
1:12:57
rhetoric this person uses, this Kajrkhalis
1:13:00
person, here she is at the
1:13:02
EU Council addressing the fact that
1:13:04
their EU members like Hungary that
1:13:07
don't support this foreign policy, that
1:13:09
don't want to confront Russia, that
1:13:11
want to try and put an
1:13:14
end diplomatically to the war in
1:13:16
Ukraine, and here's the kind of
1:13:18
language she used against them. Actually,
1:13:29
this is not that. I
1:13:31
don't know if we have
1:13:33
that. I think it's this.
1:13:35
Here is Cajacallas at the
1:13:37
Mary Conference. At the European
1:13:40
Defense Agency in January. Every
1:13:42
day Russia continues its war,
1:13:44
the price must go up.
1:13:46
Now we are working on
1:13:48
another, a 16 package of
1:13:50
sanctions. We have started to
1:13:53
see Russia's economy taking a
1:13:55
serious hit. They could not
1:13:57
afford to continue their efforts
1:13:59
in Syria while fighting in
1:14:01
Iraq. Ukraine. Russia's national funds
1:14:03
are quickly depleting. The national
1:14:06
interest rate is well over
1:14:08
20%. And they are getting
1:14:10
far fewer resources from gas
1:14:12
and oil. Gas bomb and
1:14:14
spare rug are looking at
1:14:16
mass layoffs. There is absolutely
1:14:19
no doubt that we can
1:14:21
do more to help Ukraine.
1:14:23
With our help, they can
1:14:25
also win the war. The
1:14:27
only language that Putin speaks
1:14:29
is the language of strength.
1:14:32
The EU has strength. Believing
1:14:34
that Ukraine can win the
1:14:36
war, meaning expelling all Russian
1:14:38
troops from every inch of
1:14:40
Ukrainian territory, including Crimea, requires
1:14:42
madness at this point. But
1:14:44
what does she care? She's
1:14:47
from a tiny little country
1:14:49
that will contribute nothing. She's
1:14:51
demanding that workers in Italy
1:14:53
and Spain and France. and
1:14:56
Germany pay for the glories of
1:14:59
this word that she wants. I
1:15:01
get why Estonians don't like Russians.
1:15:03
I understand the history of Soviet
1:15:06
domination of Eastern Europe, but she
1:15:08
has to face reality. And she
1:15:10
wants to be this glamorous, strong,
1:15:13
churchilian world leader, but the EU
1:15:15
doesn't have anywhere near the capability
1:15:18
to back up those words. Here
1:15:20
is Kajakales. in May of last
1:15:22
year at a different conference. Russia's
1:15:25
defeat is not a bad thing
1:15:27
because then you know there could
1:15:30
be really a change in the
1:15:32
society and you know there are
1:15:34
many different nations right now part
1:15:37
to Russia as well I think
1:15:39
if you would have a more
1:15:41
like small nations it's not a
1:15:44
bad thing if the big power
1:15:46
is actually much smaller. She's talking
1:15:49
about regime change in Russia, changing
1:15:51
the government of Russia, and then
1:15:53
breaking Russia. to a bunch of
1:15:56
little different pieces. That's the Ford
1:15:58
Minister of the EU, engaged in
1:16:00
utterly deranged fairy-tailed thinking. Here is
1:16:03
the Prime Minister of Finland, Meti
1:16:05
Frederiksen. I believe it's Finland and
1:16:08
not Denmark. Is it then Mark
1:16:10
or Finland? She's Danish. Yeah, she's
1:16:12
a Danish Prime Minister. And here's
1:16:15
how she's speaking. I don't think
1:16:17
we should panic, but I think
1:16:20
we are in a hurry. And
1:16:22
I think we have been in
1:16:24
a hurry for three years, but
1:16:27
now we really have to scale
1:16:29
up and to speed up, because
1:16:31
Russia and Putin is not only
1:16:34
friendly Ukraine, but all of us.
1:16:36
And we have to be able
1:16:39
to defend ourselves. The idea about
1:16:41
Ukraine is the same as it
1:16:43
has been now for three years,
1:16:46
that they have to win this
1:16:48
war. and if we allow Russia
1:16:50
to win the war, I'm sorry
1:16:53
to say it directly to all
1:16:55
of you, he will continue and
1:16:58
they will continue. And maybe we
1:17:00
will even give them a better
1:17:02
situation than today, because if we
1:17:05
end this war now, with some
1:17:07
kind of a frozen conflict, that's
1:17:10
fine, it will give Russia the
1:17:12
possibility to return to Russia, to
1:17:14
mobilize more funds people, and maybe
1:17:17
to attack another country in Europe.
1:17:19
The reason these people live in
1:17:21
a fantasy world is because they've
1:17:24
had the United States financing and
1:17:26
arming and fighting their words for
1:17:29
them for so many decades. So
1:17:31
they've gotten to simultaneously talk tough
1:17:33
as though they're fighting wars because
1:17:36
they contribute some troops while at
1:17:38
the same time. Not having to
1:17:41
spend any of their people's money
1:17:43
on it and giving them a
1:17:45
welfare state that you can spend
1:17:48
that you can afford to give
1:17:50
if you're not spending massive amounts
1:17:52
in the military the way the
1:17:55
United States has been doing. But
1:17:57
now they're actually having to face
1:18:00
reality if the United States is
1:18:02
not going to continue to pay
1:18:04
the military industrial complex to defend
1:18:07
Europe and fight its wars for
1:18:09
it, why should the United States do
1:18:11
so? And so they still want to talk
1:18:13
this tough talk, but the realities
1:18:15
are they don't have the political
1:18:18
will nor the resources nor anything
1:18:20
resembling a serious military in order
1:18:22
to back it up. I mean, as I
1:18:24
said, Michael Walt said in that. signal
1:18:26
group from a couple days
1:18:29
ago, they can't even fight
1:18:31
the Houthis. They don't have
1:18:33
the military sophistication to, or
1:18:36
the navies, to battle
1:18:38
Yemen. And we're seeing now
1:18:40
that there's just zero willingness
1:18:42
to back up any of
1:18:45
this rhetoric. It was like
1:18:47
when the British Prime Minister
1:18:49
wanted to be all Churchill,
1:18:52
the British are obsessed with
1:18:54
being Churchill, to keep the
1:18:56
peace there and prevent Russia from
1:18:58
advancing. And then the next
1:19:01
day I had to come out and
1:19:03
admit, like, actually, we can't do anything
1:19:05
without US air cover. So we're just
1:19:08
saying that if the US is willing
1:19:10
to go to war in Ukraine against
1:19:12
Russia, then we will, but we can't
1:19:14
do without the US. And that's the
1:19:16
reality of what and who Europe
1:19:18
is, including the UK. Just
1:19:21
want to show you one bizarre... Article
1:19:24
that came out today that gives you
1:19:26
a sense for just how far gone the
1:19:28
Europeans are in terms of The
1:19:31
unreality in which they're living
1:19:33
it's from the financial times
1:19:35
the headline is EU calls
1:19:37
for households to stockpile 72
1:19:39
hours of food amid war
1:19:41
risks Quote new realities require
1:19:43
a new level of preparedness
1:19:45
in Europe said Commission President
1:19:47
Ursula von der Leyen Our
1:19:50
citizens, our member states, and
1:19:52
our businesses need the right tools
1:19:54
to act both to prevent crises
1:19:56
and to react swiftly when a
1:19:59
disaster hits. So even
1:20:01
as every country around her is
1:20:03
telling this unelected person that they
1:20:05
can't fund this massive military rearmament
1:20:07
that she envisions, they won't, they
1:20:09
won't go into greater debt for
1:20:12
it, their populations won't tolerate it.
1:20:14
She's basically now telling European citizens,
1:20:16
you're in a war, you have
1:20:18
to stock up and make sure
1:20:20
you have 72 hours worth of
1:20:22
food, because she envisions that Europe
1:20:24
is at war with Russia. This
1:20:26
is how they think. And
1:20:29
while I'm very critical of things
1:20:31
the Trump administration has done in
1:20:33
the first two months of the
1:20:36
presidency, one of which are about
1:20:38
to get to, others of which
1:20:40
involve censorship, the resumption of the
1:20:42
word Ukraine, the continuation of the
1:20:44
destruction of Gaza, Trump is making
1:20:46
progress in facilitating a peace deal
1:20:49
of Russia and Ukraine, and on
1:20:51
some level, you can make the
1:20:53
argument that in terms of world
1:20:55
security and given the utter... insanity
1:20:57
of how the Europeans are thinking
1:20:59
and speaking, that there may be
1:21:02
nothing more important than putting an
1:21:04
end to this war, diplomatically, which
1:21:06
Trump ran on a promise of
1:21:08
doing the American people want, and
1:21:10
Trump has now made significant strives
1:21:12
in achieving. We reported previously last
1:21:15
week on the controversy surrounding the
1:21:17
fact that the Trump administration, during
1:21:19
the campaign, promised to mass deport
1:21:21
illegal... people in the United States
1:21:23
illegally. And deportations typically means, in
1:21:25
fact, always means picking people up
1:21:28
who are in your country illegally
1:21:30
and setting them back to their
1:21:32
country of origin. They get a
1:21:34
very quick hearing in a basically
1:21:36
a quasi court, a deportation court
1:21:38
inside the Justice Department, as long
1:21:41
as the government can show they
1:21:43
don't have the legal papers to
1:21:45
be in the United States and
1:21:47
the person can't show they have.
1:21:49
The legal documents, the deportation is
1:21:52
approved and they get sent back
1:21:54
to their own country. And
1:21:56
the Trump administration is doing some
1:21:59
of that, not nearly at the
1:22:01
level. promise but they're doing some
1:22:03
of it. But they're doing something
1:22:05
much much different which is that
1:22:07
they're picking people up primarily Venezuelans
1:22:09
up until now and they're not
1:22:12
sending them back to Venezuela. They're
1:22:14
sending them to a third country
1:22:16
that these people have nothing to
1:22:18
do with if they're not citizens
1:22:20
of that most in most of
1:22:22
not all cases they've never visited
1:22:24
which is El Salvador. And
1:22:27
the United States government is
1:22:29
paying the government of El
1:22:31
Salvador not to accept them,
1:22:34
but to incarcerate them in
1:22:36
one of the most horrific
1:22:38
prisons that exist in the
1:22:40
world, to film them being
1:22:42
humiliated and dehumanized, all based
1:22:45
on the accusation that the
1:22:47
Trump administration refuses to prove
1:22:49
that these people are members
1:22:51
of a violent gang. based
1:22:54
on the invocation of war powers
1:22:56
that has only been used three
1:22:59
times previously in actual wars, the
1:23:01
war of 1812, World War I,
1:23:03
World War II. But even then,
1:23:06
the people who were ordered under
1:23:08
the alien enemies act to be
1:23:10
deported got a hearing, and yet
1:23:13
the Trump administration is sending these
1:23:15
people, including people who have... Obviously
1:23:17
compelling cases that they're not part
1:23:20
of this gang that they've been
1:23:22
mistaken for gang members, just like
1:23:24
the US, told us during Guantanamo,
1:23:27
the war in terror, that only
1:23:29
the worst of the worst were
1:23:31
there, and it turned out many
1:23:34
of the people there had nothing
1:23:36
to do with terrorism. They were
1:23:38
innocent. They were part of mistaken
1:23:41
identity, any number of reasons why.
1:23:43
That's what happens when you don't
1:23:45
give people due process. You imprison
1:23:48
people unjustly. that this stop that
1:23:50
no detainees be delivered to El
1:23:52
Salvador without first getting a hearing
1:23:55
and the administration rushed to move
1:23:57
them there brought 237 of the
1:23:59
mayor refused to turn the plane
1:24:02
around and a lot of Trump
1:24:04
supporters have been complaining oh this
1:24:06
is just a single federal judge
1:24:09
who is he to order the
1:24:11
president to stop some policy based
1:24:14
on his belief that it's unconstitutional
1:24:16
or illegal even though as we
1:24:18
showed you on Monday night that's
1:24:21
how our system works. Conservatives have
1:24:23
often got injunctions from single district
1:24:25
court judges to stop. Biden policy
1:24:28
to stop Obama policy to stop
1:24:30
Clinton policy. But the DOJ appealed
1:24:32
that injunction, so it's not before
1:24:35
just a single district judge now,
1:24:37
it's before the US Court of
1:24:39
Appeals, which is the highest appellate
1:24:42
court in the country. It's right
1:24:44
below the Supreme Court in terms
1:24:46
of prestige. And they held an
1:24:49
oral argument on Monday, and we
1:24:51
played a lot of that for
1:24:53
you or some of it, which
1:24:56
we showed you how antagonistic, how
1:24:58
adversarial. How aggressive the judges on
1:25:00
the panel are being toward the
1:25:03
Trump Justice Department's arguments about why
1:25:05
they have the legal authority to
1:25:07
do this and Made quite clear
1:25:10
that it's extremely likely That the
1:25:12
appellate court would uphold that injunction
1:25:14
So that now it's not just
1:25:17
a single federal court judge. It's
1:25:19
a the most prestigious appellate court
1:25:21
in the country right below the
1:25:24
Supreme Court. That's that's doing so
1:25:26
and the three judges were an
1:25:28
Obama appointee a George H. W.
1:25:31
Bush appointee and a Trump appointee.
1:25:33
And the decision that the issue
1:25:36
today was a two to one
1:25:38
decision which upheld this injunction that
1:25:40
the federal district court issued or
1:25:43
the Trump administration not to support
1:25:45
anyone else back to all Salvador,
1:25:47
at least not without hearings. And
1:25:50
even the judge and the judge.
1:25:52
people inside the United States illegally
1:25:54
that the Trump administration proposes to
1:25:57
send to a prison a foreign
1:25:59
country has... a right to a
1:26:01
habeas corpus hearing, to an opportunity
1:26:04
to prove that he's being unjustly
1:26:06
accused, the only reason he dissented
1:26:08
was he said that the case
1:26:11
should have been brought where they
1:26:13
were detained and not in Washington.
1:26:15
But on the substance of whether
1:26:18
they have a due process right,
1:26:20
the dissenting judge agreed. It was
1:26:22
essentially three zero on that question.
1:26:25
Here you see the ruling. It
1:26:27
says it is further ordered that
1:26:29
the emergency motions for stay be
1:26:32
denied. Separate concurring judgments of Judge
1:26:34
Henderson, that's the Bush 41 judge,
1:26:36
and Judge Millett, the Obama judge,
1:26:39
and a dissenting statement of Judge
1:26:41
Walker are attached. And this was
1:26:43
from the ruling of Judge Henderson,
1:26:46
the Bush 41 judge, who... ruled
1:26:48
against the Trump DOJ. She wrote,
1:26:50
quote, the alien enemies act, AEA,
1:26:53
contains two provisions, a conditional cause
1:26:55
and an operative cause. The conditional
1:26:58
cause limits the AEA's substantive authority
1:27:00
to conflicts between the United States
1:27:02
and a foreign power. Specifically, there
1:27:05
must be, quote, there must be
1:27:07
one, a declared war between United
1:27:09
States and any foreign nation or
1:27:12
government. Or two, an invasion of
1:27:14
predatory incursion, perpetrated, attempted, or threatened
1:27:16
against the territory of the United
1:27:19
States by any foreign nation or
1:27:21
government. And three, a presidential public
1:27:23
proclamation of the event. She went
1:27:26
on, a central limit to this
1:27:28
power is the act's conditional clause,
1:27:30
that the United States be at
1:27:33
war or under invasion or predatory
1:27:35
incursion. And she talked about how
1:27:37
the only times it had ever
1:27:40
been enacted was during traditional wars.
1:27:42
the War of 1812, World War
1:27:44
I, World War II, how the
1:27:47
founders enacted it specifically to confront
1:27:49
a possible war than the quasi
1:27:51
war that they ended up fighting
1:27:54
with the French, and everything in
1:27:56
the record of this. law was
1:27:58
that it needed to be invoked
1:28:01
or needed to be available solely
1:28:03
in the case of an actual
1:28:05
war? And she went on to
1:28:08
say that she's not issuing an
1:28:10
opinion about whether or not there
1:28:12
can be an invasion, but that
1:28:15
the likelihood of victory is what
1:28:17
the plaintiffs, because she doesn't believe
1:28:20
the AA is applicable to fighting
1:28:22
a few hundred members of a
1:28:24
violent gang. That's not what the
1:28:27
alien enemies act is for. And
1:28:29
that's an important limitation on the
1:28:31
law because this law gives the
1:28:34
president enormous powers, very extraordinary powers.
1:28:36
And that's why we have to
1:28:38
be very careful about the president's
1:28:41
ability to just declare war. Otherwise,
1:28:43
the Constitution makes no, has no
1:28:45
purpose. Bush and Cheney claim more
1:28:48
powers because they were fighting the
1:28:50
war on terror. Any president could
1:28:52
say, oh, we're at war. And
1:28:55
now I have the ability to
1:28:57
do everything. But
1:28:59
Judge Millett, the Obama judge, emphasized
1:29:02
that even under the AA, the
1:29:04
people who are ordered by the
1:29:06
President deported, always have a due
1:29:09
process right and always did. Even
1:29:11
the people accused of being Nazi
1:29:14
sympathizes in World War II. Here's
1:29:16
what she wrote. Judicial Review has
1:29:18
always been available to non-citizen detained
1:29:21
or removed under the AEA. During
1:29:23
the War of 1812, Chief Justice
1:29:26
John Marshall and Federal District Judge
1:29:28
St. George Tucker offered a British
1:29:30
subject released because the local marshal
1:29:33
had acted beyond his delegated authority
1:29:35
by detaining the plaintiff without proper
1:29:37
notice. And then she cites the
1:29:40
histories of these cases. in which
1:29:42
even people, we can go on,
1:29:45
even people who are detained under
1:29:47
these laws have been given due
1:29:49
process. She then went on, the
1:29:52
Supreme Court. the Pennsylvania Supreme Court,
1:29:54
we can go on. The Pennsylvania
1:29:56
Supreme Court later agreed with the
1:29:59
Chief Justice that those subject to
1:30:01
the AEA are entitled to judicial
1:30:04
review and she cited a 1813
1:30:06
case from the Pennsylvania Supreme Court
1:30:08
that during the war in 1812
1:30:11
people ordered by the president removed
1:30:13
have a right to a hearing
1:30:16
to contest the accusations against them
1:30:18
that they are really a threat.
1:30:20
The judge went on, quote, these
1:30:23
early cases set a precedent followed
1:30:25
during the 20th century. Review was
1:30:27
available during World War I, cites
1:30:30
a 1919 case in a federal
1:30:32
district judge, as well as World
1:30:35
War II, setting a US Supreme
1:30:37
Court ruling in 1948 that stated,
1:30:39
quote, hearings are utilized by the
1:30:42
executive to secure an informed basis
1:30:44
for the exercise of summary power.
1:30:47
She went on, quote, indeed, during
1:30:49
World War II, a former member
1:30:51
of the Nazi party. Not only
1:30:54
received a hearing on his eligibility
1:30:56
for removal, but also had his
1:30:58
case heard by the Supreme Court
1:31:01
and She ruled that this removal
1:31:03
is unconstitutional because as the Supreme
1:31:06
Court ruled even for detainees in
1:31:08
Guantanamo You cannot consign people to
1:31:10
prison Even if they're in your
1:31:13
country illegally, even if they're not
1:31:15
citizens, you cannot put people in
1:31:17
prison Based on an
1:31:20
allegation that they're terrorists, they're involved
1:31:22
in terrorist organization, that they're a
1:31:24
violent member of a violent drug
1:31:26
gang, without giving the accused, the
1:31:29
person you want to put in
1:31:31
prison, the opportunity to demonstrate that
1:31:33
the accusations are false, that they've
1:31:36
gotten the wrong person, or to
1:31:38
present evidence that convinces a court
1:31:40
that they've been wrongly accused. This
1:31:43
is foundational to the American system
1:31:45
even in wartime. Now
1:31:48
what's interesting is the Trump appointed judge
1:31:50
Judge Walker did dissent But as I
1:31:52
said he dissented mostly on the grounds
1:31:54
of where the case was brought He
1:31:56
said it was shouldn't have been brought
1:31:59
in Washington, but in Texas you have
1:32:01
to bring it in the place where
1:32:03
the people are detained, not where the
1:32:05
government officials are. And in his dissent,
1:32:07
he said this, quote, the two sides
1:32:10
of this case agree on very
1:32:12
little, but what is at this
1:32:14
point uncontested is that,
1:32:16
quote, individuals identified as
1:32:18
alien enemies may challenge
1:32:20
that status in a
1:32:23
habeas petition. And
1:32:26
as I said, he went on to say,
1:32:28
that should have been brought in Texas, not
1:32:30
Washington, therefore he would have dismissed the case.
1:32:32
He also said that there's delicate diplomacy
1:32:35
according to the government going
1:32:37
on between Venezuela and El
1:32:39
Salvador and the United States,
1:32:41
and that a ruling like this might disrupt
1:32:43
those diplomatic relations, and therefore the
1:32:45
equities are on the side of
1:32:47
lifting the injunction. But all three
1:32:50
of these judges agreed with the court
1:32:52
point that you cannot send people
1:32:54
to an unrelated country. Based
1:32:56
on an accusation that you haven't
1:32:58
proven or given them an opportunity
1:33:01
to contest And as we've gone over
1:33:03
there's a hundred and fifty years Supreme
1:33:05
Court history That says that the Bill
1:33:08
of Rights is not a list of
1:33:10
protections given solely to a small group
1:33:12
of people called American citizens It is
1:33:14
intended to be a constraint on what
1:33:17
the US government does and
1:33:19
can do with respect to everyone
1:33:21
under their control If
1:33:24
the Trump administration wants to
1:33:26
do mass deportation, they convinced
1:33:28
Americans to vote for that.
1:33:30
Poll show people favor that. And if they
1:33:32
were deporting people back to
1:33:35
their home country, none of this would
1:33:37
be an issue. But when you change that
1:33:39
to something far more radical, sending
1:33:41
people based on interpretations of
1:33:43
their tattoos or the flimsiest
1:33:46
evidence that you haven't even
1:33:48
presented to a court. And
1:33:51
you accuse people of being violent criminals
1:33:53
and send them to a prison designed
1:33:55
to be one of the worst and
1:33:57
most destructive and humiliating and dehumanizing prisons.
1:33:59
in the entire world where the
1:34:01
El Salvadorian government has said they
1:34:03
may never leave, they may be
1:34:06
here for life. Not just basic
1:34:08
human rights, but our constitution, our
1:34:10
laws, our precedent, as all three
1:34:12
judges agreed, including the Trump appointed
1:34:14
judge, require that they be given
1:34:16
an opportunity to contest the charges
1:34:18
against them. This should not even
1:34:20
be controversial. And yet, it has
1:34:22
become such because if you sufficiently
1:34:24
dehumanized people and this is what
1:34:26
we saw in the world, we're
1:34:28
on terror. If the government
1:34:30
labels them terrorists without proving it, even
1:34:33
if it's wrong, enough people will say,
1:34:35
oh, these people are animals, they're not
1:34:37
even humans, they deserve no rights, kill
1:34:39
them, torture them, kidnap them, put them
1:34:41
in prison for life, they don't need
1:34:43
a trial, and that is always what
1:34:45
the founders feared most. What is that
1:34:48
the government would raise the fear level
1:34:50
sufficiently so that people would give away
1:34:52
their own liberties? Remember Benjamin Franklin? And
1:34:54
this is an apocryopal, this is documented.
1:34:56
when he left the constitutional convention was
1:34:58
asked by a woman what is it
1:35:00
that he did in there and he
1:35:02
said we created a republic if you
1:35:05
can keep it knowing that the biggest
1:35:07
danger to the bill of rights would
1:35:09
be that citizens the population would be
1:35:11
manipulated or fear-mongered into giving up those
1:35:13
rights and that's what typically happens we
1:35:15
see this all the time and that's
1:35:17
what's happening now and now the appellate
1:35:20
court it's not just one judge it's
1:35:22
a three-judge appellate court has ruled that
1:35:24
doing this without a hearing We're even
1:35:26
invoking the law to justify it is
1:35:28
likely to fail on the merits and
1:35:30
therefore these deportations are still enjoying not
1:35:32
by one judge but by a three
1:35:34
judge panel. All
1:35:38
right, that concludes our show for this
1:35:40
