Yesterday, there was some breaking news happening while we were on the show. We decided not to cover it because we wanted to get all the facts. There was a group chat that was formed over the last weekend, and we're going to go through all of the facts related to this story and give you our analysis, the analysis that has the media in an uproar. So here are the facts. As you know, over the weekend, President Donald Trump authorized a series of targeted military strikes against the Houthis. The Houthis were firing upon US vessels.
Now, we must be very clear that it is a quagmire. on the southern tip of the Arabian Peninsula. This is in Yemen. The Houthis are in Yemen, which is on the western part of the southern tip of the Arabian Peninsula, right near Oman and Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia for years has been very invested in this Houthi civil war. It's been disrupting global trade. Many Americans do not even know that there's a country called Yemen, let alone that we should be involved in the Yemenese civil war. President Donald Trump made a decision to authorize American military strikes. Now, regardless of whether or not you agree or disagree with that, that's actually not the core element at play here.
Who was involved in the Trump administration Signal chat?
Once this decision was well underway, there was a group chat that was started on a messaging application called Signal. Now, I use Signal quite a lot and I'm sure many of you do as well. It's a secure messaging application where you're able to have messages that automatically delete after an hour, a day, a week or a month. In this group chat was Vice President J.D. Vance, Pete Hegseth, John Ratcliffe, Susie Wiles, Stephen Miller, and many others. Now, let's just begin by saying there were no non-government officials on these group chats. That's a good first start. There was not people that were not supposed to necessarily be informed of what is going on. Well, until something got leaked. So I'm going to read this entire group conversation and this group chat conversation, and I'm going to tell you exactly how on earth we have been led to have a window into these private discussions. J.D. Vance writes at first. Pete Hegseth replies, VP, I fully share your loathing of European freeloading. It's all caps. Pathetic. But Mike is correct.
We are the only ones on the planet on our side of the ledger who can do this. Nobody else can come even close. The question is timing. I feel like now is a good time as any given POTUS directive to reopen shipping lanes. And then we should go. But POTUS still retains 24 hours of decision space. Now, SM then replies, I believe this is Stephen Miller. I could be incorrect.
