What are the reasons behind the National Security Council shakeup?

Unnamed Guest 2:46
Three different people, the original source and two others, have confirmed that the plan now by the White House is to remove the National Security Advisor, Mike Waltz, who was on Fox News this morning just not that long ago, and his deputy, Alex Wong, and much of the member current staff team at the National Security Council. because of unhappiness throughout the national security establishment of how they're doing. The West Wing's unhappy, the State Department, the Treasury, unhappiness. And of course, this was around before Signalgate. It was widely reported that Signalgate, ironically, may have saved Waltz's job because the president didn't want to be seen as if he were giving in to Jeffrey Goldberg, his new best friend. But there's lots of levels of unhappiness. And it's less about Signalgate than it is about, as I understand it from my sources, a general belief that it's not being run efficiently in an organized way.

Axios later reporting Mr. Walz's troubles went beyond Signalgate. the March incident in which Mr. Walz accidentally added the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, Jeffrey Goldberg, to a Signal group chat discussing attack plans against the Houthis. The outlet reporting Mr. Walz got on the wrong side of everyone, from Chief of Staff Susie Wiles to MAGA influencer Laura Loomer. Mr. Walz is known for his hawkish stance on Iran at a time when some in Trump's inner circle worry the administration is edging toward open conflict. On Thursday, Trump ally Charlie Kirk weighing in on the reports.
