I have better tradecraft than Mike Waltz, I've learned from this story. Why should I here in Montana with my strange group of friends, which are similar to yours, I imagine, Megan, you know, from all over the place, take more care with who I allow to see the more sensitive parts of my communications?

And the more I think about this and the more I look at it, that the Democrats were ready to pounce on it suggests, hmm, I don't know that there might be more to it than we are hearing.

One thing that's interesting is that this is an actual war plan that everyone agreed with, except maybe J.D. Vance. I mean, Jeffrey Goldberg, it's not like they put Alex Jones on the chat. Jeffrey Goldberg, I'm sure, agrees with. Yeah, and that would have been interesting. But bombing the Houthis is not something that I think Jeffrey Goldberg disagrees with.

I don't even think that the Senate committee disagrees with it. It's interesting that this is a policy that really there was unanimity on, except in the case of Vance. And when this first broke, it was an anti-Vance story. That was how it was being spun. You know, Vance and Trump are at odds that that didn't survive the first news cycle. But it was how they first headlined this thing.

That would be or or what does Israel want us to do? Can somebody call them up? Right. Right. We didn't see evidence of that. See, I think Trump's management style or Putin. Well, yeah, exactly. Yeah. Can somebody call Putin and find out whether he's behind this? One time I almost burnt down a gas station I worked in. It created smoke and a terrible smell. I cleaned it up as best I could.

The next day, the boss came in and instead of punishing me, he looked around, sniffed the air and said, I feel like something went on here. Carry on. It was the greatest act of discipline I've ever received. Because to withhold punishment sometimes is to show true dominance. And I think that's what Trump has done here.

If the Democrats could design a security leak, it would be to Jeffrey Goldberg. Why are they acting like they're unhappy with this thing? Right, they're not.
