Well, that's that's why I thought what was weird is that like so I get that like that. So what he's alluding to is I have Charlie Kirk in my phone. But gosh, you know, instead of Charlie Kirk's phone number, I have, you know, Bob Smith. And so I'm think I'm texting you. And that that seems to be what he was saying. Well, I don't get that.

In other words, what he was saying is, and again, I'm just speculating, but JG, Jameson Greer, the U.S. trade rep, that would make sense. Okay, so what he seems to be saying is, I thought I was adding somebody to the text, and it turns out that it was Jeffrey Goldberg's number, right?

And my point is, okay, that still doesn't, you still have, like, no one goes, like, that's just, it doesn't make sense. I buy the fact that, yeah, hey, as a member of Congress, maybe his staff said, hey, we're going to upload some reporters to your phone so you can contact them. Before he assumed the direct, I could buy that. Like, I didn't put him in. My staff used to program my phone. Okay.

Before he assumed the direct, I could buy that. Like, I didn't put him in. My staff used to program my phone. Okay.

But the idea that you thought you were contacting somebody else and their numbers were just transposed, I've never had that happen, right? I mean, that to me, and also just like, let's face it, Jameson Greer just happens to have a one-off phone number than Jeffrey Goldberg. This is where I hope he does get the best technical minds to look at this.

This is where I hope he does get the best technical minds to look at this.

And so, yeah, I mean, look, I'm not as much of an expert on I've used signal, but my technical expertise is somewhat limited to on and off on most devices. That being said, I again, part of this doesn't like I've made mistakes. I've added people to text chains that I didn't intend to. But but that's obvious. Like my my someone the other day was texting my wife and I and they got the wrong Rebecca.

Right. So and immediately I'm like, who are you adding to this?

Right. So and immediately I'm like, who are you adding to this?

Yeah, yeah. So, look, I agree with you. So except look, I've known Mike Waltz for a while. I think he is a man of high integrity. He served his country honorably. He's a brilliant guy when it comes to diplomacy. He's an SF guy from the Army. That's my only issue, that he chose the wrong service.

Yeah, yeah. So, look, I agree with you. So except look, I've known Mike Waltz for a while. I think he is a man of high integrity. He served his country honorably. He's a brilliant guy when it comes to diplomacy. He's an SF guy from the Army. That's my only issue, that he chose the wrong service.

That being said, to your point, again, I admit, I yelled at Jeffrey Goldberg once because of this despicable story. I have no problem to say, yeah, I got the guy in my contacts, and I mistakenly added him when I meant to add someone else. We all do it. That's what I'm saying.

That's that's that's my point is that like, yeah, we all have people in our phone. I've got some people on my phone that believe me, I would never like because of, you know, the people I've been in contact with over the last 10 years that I wouldn't ever want to call or contact. But, you know, you don't delete the contact.

But, you know, you don't delete the contact.

I just and if you did, by the way, Charlie, here's the point. If you did, you could say, God, we just did this podcast and I was coordinating with them. And so it doesn't. Right. It makes sense. And so just say if that's the case. But otherwise, you're absolutely right. There's got to be an explanation about why. And here's the thing to your second point.

Because I think there's got to be a third issue, which is some staffer did it. Because if you're going to break into somebody's phone, are you really going to add Jeffrey Goldberg to the chain? I mean, I've got a list of people I'd rather add to a chain if I'm snooping or doing something than Jeffrey Goldberg.
