The MeidasTouch Podcast · Top Trump Official Falls Apart Under Cross-Exam on War!! · 26 Mar 2026 podcast

Thank you, Chairman Risch, Ranking Member Shaheen, for today's hearing.

And thank you, Mr. Donato, for joining us today.

I want to go and talk about Nevada a little bit.

because the Nevada National Security Site, the NNSS, was ground zero for the vast majority of the United States' explosive nuclear testing from 1951 to 1992, during which there were 100 atmospheric tests and 828 underground tests conducted.

Many Nevadans and downwind communities suffered from these exposures.

They're still waiting for justice and compensation.

Today, the NNSS plays a critical role in certifying the reliability, safety, and effectiveness of our nuclear stockpile, but without, without, I'm going to emphasize that, I could say it a hundred times, without the need for explosive testing.

So you can imagine my surprise when President Trump and others, such as Assistant Secretary Yaw, suggested that the U.S.

should resume explosive nuclear testing.

So Mr. DiNano, what is the State Department's position on explosive nuclear testing?

And if President Trump were to order a nuclear test, how do you expect Russia or China to respond?

What about other countries with nuclear weapons?

And how would we manage the inevitable damage that this is gonna cause to your efforts to pursue multilateral arms control and risk reduction measures?

And I can tell you that in our U1A tunnel and the radiographic things that we have there and the new kinds of technology we have, we have adequately, without explosive testing, ensured the capabilities of our nuclear stockpile.

You better come back and talk to me because the people of Nevada and the people of Utah and the people all around you think what happens in Nevada with an explosive test stays in Nevada?

Because it sure doesn't.

They cratered the ground in Nevada.

And let me tell you, there's groundwater.

It doesn't go away.

It's important to understand that he better come talk to us in Nevada if he's planning to do that.
