Tulsi Gabbard (6:09)

Accountability is back. Accountability is back. I quote Secretary Pete Hegseth, that was our Secretary of defense on the record just a couple of months ago. Now the debate among national security professionals is over whether the secretary was just incompetent or whether he was drunk. That's how low this has gone. And those are serious debates happening among national security professionals today.

Unknown Speaker 1 (6:46)

Thank you. That's the question we're all asking. But here's the deal. Then we give Pete Hegseth a pass. Okay? He was drunk, which Trump handpicked him from Fox News because he will go straight down the line. And he's a white supremacist, white national, just a nutball. So he picked him knowing he had alcohol problems. What's the deal with the rest of them? Tulsi Gabbard, J.D. vance, Michael Waltz. Why did these people not catch it? If you dismiss the conduct of Pete Hegseth and say he was drunk, which is inexcusable, but he could be drunk, as presumably the rest of these people were sober, it's unbelievable that this is where we are. What else is unbelievable is you have national security Republicans, we back the military. Yay, military. Where are they? Where's Mitch McConnell? Where's Lindsey Graham? Where are they saying, this is a disgrace to the United States? Every single one of these people on this group chat, except for Jeffrey Goldberg, needs to be terminated, impeached, whatever it takes to get them out of office. Obviously. My question is, if this is the A team for Trump, how bad is the B team? That's. I think you can't overlook that question. And then we find out, as stories go and reporters get into it, Michael Waltz, the National Security advisor. A Wired story review shows National Security Advisor Mike Waltz, White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles and other top officials left sensitive information exposed on Venmo until Wired asked about it. Are you kidding me? These people are beyond incompetent, beyond inept. I mean, are they willfully trying to up the country? That's really the only thing you're left with because they have public Venmos. And it turns out that Michael Waltz's Venmo is full of journalists from cnn, from msnbc, from Fox. All of these people are in his Venmo because they're on his contacts. So this guy is a disaster, train wreck. Then come to find out a little more. Digging by journalists that private data and passwords of senior US Security officials have been found. Donald Trump's most important security advisors use signal to discuss an imminent military strike. Now reporting by Derek Spiegel has found that the contact data of some of these officials, including mobile phone numbers, is freely accessible on the Internet. It's unbelievable. Just when you think there can't be anything more telling us how incompetent they are, there can't be more incompetence that we find it just ratchets it up. And here's the deal. Deal. We're like two and a half months into the presidency. What's it going to look like in two years? What kind of buffoonery and stupid is going to happen with these people between now and the next 12 months? 24 months. It's shocking. And the Democrats should be standing on their heads calling for every single one of these people to be impeached, terminated. It is such a disgrace. So what's Fox News doing? They're spinning it. They're trying to say, oh, it's the reporter's fault. Like, oh, well, there's transparency with this administration. So luckily, there's one person on Fox that actually speaks the truth. Now, I've noticed they haven't put their national security advisor, Jennifer Griffin, I think is her name on to talk about it because she's disgusted and horrified. But Jessica Turlof said this on the Five. And listen to Jesse Waters response. He is such a dick.

Michael Waltz (10:41)

Not doing this in a skiff. They're doing it on an app that you and I, we all have on our phones. And it's obviously incredibly reckless. National security risks. I don't want to ever hear. But her emails again, I don't know what's going to happen to anyone who's involved in something like this. But on top of it, you have the vice president, he's in there as well, contradicting Donald Trump on his policy on Europe. So all of this is going on. We're only a couple months into this administration.

Unknown Speaker 2 (11:09)

Yeah. They accidentally leaked something to the media. Instead of Democrats actually leaking classified information to the media.

Unknown Speaker 1 (11:19)

Just.

Michael Waltz (11:19)

No, no, no, no, no, no.

Unknown Speaker 2 (11:20)

All right. At least they didn't home brew a server and acid wash it. But her emails. I just did it.

Unknown Speaker 1 (11:25)

A famous toilets.

Michael Waltz (11:28)

And they invited him in.

Unknown Speaker 2 (11:29)

Mar A Lago toilets.

Michael Waltz (11:30)

What are you talking about? The national security secrets that were subpoenaed.

Unknown Speaker 1 (11:34)

Clean it up. Can we just. They make a joke of our national security secrets being in Trump's bathroom at Mar A Lago. And don't even get me started on what a failure that was by the Biden administration that they weren't seized and him put in handcuffs immediately instead of begging him for 18 months. But here's the thing. They're making a joke of this. They're making a joke that classified information, war plans, people that were getting bombed. They're making a joke about it because they don't want to hold the Trump administration accountable. And that's part of the problem. And I just do want to leave you with one thing which nobody's really talking about if you read the text message, JD Vance is undermining Donald Trump. So that's just a little bit of hopium that maybe there's some breakup energy between them. I mean, I doubt it because JD Vance has no charisma and Donald Trump, they tell me, has charisma. People obviously voted for him. But we're we'll keep watching the story and we'll keep you in the loop.
