What is Signalgate and why is Don Lemon calling it a national security crisis?
I mean, to be really honest with you right now, I don't really know how to classify and to qualify and to tell you just how deep of a... We're in a fucking mess right now. I'm sorry to start off that way, but good morning. Did you guys hear about what's happening? I don't know if you have heard about what is going on in this world. There is some huge fallout from those, we're calling it Signalgate, from the text messages that went out on this encrypted chat. And we have the goods. We've got the text messages. And what is in those text messages will surprise you. And how the administration is responding is a total lie. They're trying to pretend that this is not a big deal. They're trying to pretend, oh, it's just someone on a text message.
Oh, my gosh, it's not a big deal. What's everybody so upset about and concerned about? No one should be worried about any of this. Oh, my gosh, guys, I can't tell you. It is really, really, really disturbing. And I hate to say good morning. Good morning. Go, go, go, go, go is right in the chat. Let me just say hello to you guys. And I'm going to put this up as I tell you, hit the thumbs up. Please hit the like. It affects the algorithm and more people become aware of our conversation. And they will join us here on elimination and perhaps they, too, will become Lemonheads. Show us what you got. In the chat, Don, I love your show from Kentucky. Thank you very much. I love that you guys are here as well. I got to tell you, it brings me no joy.
I take no glee in this. It is really concerning. And the security of America, the security of the world is in the hands of idiots. They got cooked. I am going to tell you this. If Mike Waltz and Pete Hegseth aren't fired, then Donald Trump should just leave office and just go. What they have done is inexplicable. You're going to hear from Mike Walz and his ridiculous excuse. He almost sounds like Tom Holman because it is incomprehensible what he is saying. I don't like to outrage you. I'm not being hyperbolic. Idiots is polite, whoever said that in the chat. Saying idiots is polite. Now, you guys know the story. There is this war effort or attack effort that is about to happen in Yemen. High-ranking members of the administration that should be used to handling high, top-secret information, they start a text chat on Signal, which is an encrypted...
platform where people can text message back and forth now whether it was legal or not that some people are saying yes some are saying some are saying no some are saying well maybe but even if it is if they can have it on their phones the information that they released is indefensible they should not be releasing it and someone on that chat that message group, the text chat, the chain, should have known better and someone should have pointed it out. As a matter of fact, I believe all of them should face consequences. Some disciplinary action and some of them should be fired. This is a complete indication that Pete Hegseth is not qualified to be the defense secretary of the United States. Pete Hegseth, two culprits here, Mike Waltz, Pete Hegseth.
Mike Waltz added this Atlantic, the editor-in-chief of the Atlantic, Jeffrey Goldberg, to the text chat. I don't know if it was willingly, wittingly, or unwittingly if he did it. And then Pete Hegseth was giving blow-by-blow, strike-by-strike secret information. about bombings and attacks that are going on in Yemen as they are happening. And one person on that chat was in Russia at the time. And we don't know if they're on their private phones or their government phones, their own phones or their government phones. At any rate, This is incompetency, and I do believe that Pete Hegseth and Mike Walsh should be fired. I will go on the record to that. You should call the White House. You should get in touch with your lawmakers.
You should tell them these folks need to be fired because they are incompetent. And that's not hyperbole. That's not partisan. That is 100% fact and truth. And we have the proof. I like to give you receipts. I'd like to give you receipts.
