What was leaked from the Trump administration?
The lunatics are running the asylum or I should say turning the United States into an asylum. Let's just talk about what went down over the past 24 to 48 hours. We learned that the Trump Department of Defense and national security apparatus would make war plans via group text threads with emojis like fist bump emoji, fire emoji, American flag emoji, the most common. classified, sensitive, compartmented information that exists was all there on a text thread. And how did we learn about it? Because the Department of Defense, led by Pete Hegseth, a former Fox host, invited into the group chat the editor in chief of the media company, The Atlantic, who was just in the group chat. He wrote an article.
The Trump administration, we should call him a regime, texted me its war plans. He talks about how he was invited into this chat. He saw the most highly classified information. He didn't know what the heck in the world was going on. And if this was even real, the information was so sensitive he couldn't even write about a lot of the stuff that he saw. And by the way, Donald Trump was asked about it today at a disastrous press conference and public cabinet meeting after Donald Trump was posting about how upset he was at this portrait being put up in Colorado of him, which he said is a really bad photo. And that was making him really angry. angry, he said, in a long ranting and raving post on his social media platform.
But then he held this public cabinet meeting, which was also led by Elon Musk. And then a press conference, Trump was asked, hey, you know, you're doing like your war plans in Yemen with the attack on the Houthis and leaking all this classified information on group text threads, which is one of the most serious violations of the law. Here's what Donald Trump had to say. Let's play it.
I don't know anything about it. I'm not a big fan of The Atlantic. To me, it's a magazine that's going out of business. I think it's not much of a magazine, but I know nothing about it. You're saying that they had what? They were using signal to coordinate on sensitive materials and... Having to do with what? Having to do with what? What were they talking about? With the Houthis. The Houthis? You mean the attack on the Houthis? Well, it couldn't have been very effective because the attack was very effective, I can tell you that. I don't know anything about it. You're telling me about it for the first time. Anybody else?
The Department of Defense spokesperson has since confirmed that this was indeed an authentic chat that was taking place. Did you see Donald Trump's response? I don't know anything about it. I don't know anything about it. But what I do know is that for, what, about a decade now, the Trump regime has been attacking former Secretary of State Clinton, frankly, based predominantly on lie after lie after lie. And as she posts today, you have to be kidding me, where they would talk about, oh, she kept this stuff on a server. And a lot of that story was total BS and debunked to begin with. But don't you recall when, I don't know, the Department of Defense head right now, Pete Hegseth, in his previous job as a Fox host, was saying things like this? I think we've got a nice compilation, courtesy of Courier Newsroom. Play this clip.
Everyone knows what top secret means. I've had a top secret clearance. It's big, red, flashing letters, top secret.
You know when you're looking at something that's top secret or dealing with it. When I'm president of the United States, neither she nor any of these other people are gonna be above the law, whether it's her or any of these other folks. They're gonna... People are going to be held accountable if they broke the laws of this country. This president obviously is willing to protect his political cronies, but we're going to hold people accountable.
The double standard is incredible. Imagine if it was, I don't know, Donald Trump, what the media would be doing to him right now, eviscerating him. Or imagine if it was a member of the military, which we've seen from General Cartwright and General Petraeus.
