Full Episode
Donald Trump just held a disastrous public meeting with some of his ambassadors. The National Security Advisor Mike Walls was there. He was one of the individuals on the group text thread where war plans were leaked to a reporter who was invited into this unsecured group text thread. So Donald Trump was asked about this massive scandal. Donald Trump was asked
So why are you and your regime now saying that the information in this text thread was not classified? Trump just shuts the question down and says, another question, please. Here, play this clip.
Mr. President, all we told you about information was not classified. Another question, please, go ahead. Just following up on your comments on the economy.
Then Donald Trump says he knows nothing about Signal, that he just even heard about this, that he has nothing to do with it. Here, play this clip.
National security was put at risk, Mr. President, of senior officials using Signal. The use of Signal to communicate from senior officials.
I don't know anything about Signal. I wasn't involved in this, but I just heard about it. And I hear it's used by a lot of groups. It's used by the media a lot. It's used by a lot of the military, and I think successfully. But sometimes somebody can get onto those things.
That's one of the prices you pay when you're not sitting in the Situation Room with no phones on, which is always the best, frankly.
You know, you... Then Donald Trump attacks the editor-in-chief of Atlantic, who was brought into this chat, didn't ask to be on this chat, and starts attacking the Atlantic and attacking the editor-in-chief and saying, I think that he's bad for the country. He makes up a lot of stories. Folks, he just quoted directly what was on the chat. Here, play this clip.
From what I heard, the man that we're talking about, who's not somebody that I don't think most people have ever heard of. He left. He found it very boring and he left early. He got off the line very early. So I can't speak to it other than that. So he's made up a lot of stories. And, you know, I think he's basically bad for the country. But it's it's a failing venture, very failing venture.
