CIA Director Ratcliffe (4:24)

Ma'am, did you. Were you on. You're not going to be willing to. So you're not. Are you denying that we. Answer my question, ma'am. You are not TG on this group chat.

Commentator 1 (4:35)

I'm not going to get into the specifics.

CIA Director Ratcliffe (4:36)

So you refuse to acknowledge whether you are on this group chat?

Commentator 1 (4:40)

Senator, I'm not going to get into this.

CIA Director Ratcliffe (4:42)

Why are you. Why are you going to get into the specifics? Is this. Is it because it's all classified?

Commentator 1 (4:46)

Because this is currently under review by the National Security.

CIA Director Ratcliffe (4:49)

Because it's all classified. If it's not classified. Share the text.

Commentator 1 (4:53)

Now, as the White House previously is.

CIA Director Ratcliffe (4:56)

It classified or non classified information on.

Commentator 1 (4:58)

This text I can confirm a lot of lying, a lot of obfuscating, a lot of straight up bullshit. CIA Director Ratcliffe was also in attendance at this hearing and was asked about the war plan group text.

Tulsi Gabbard (5:17)

Well, are you going to give me a chance? Is it appropriate? Did you know that the President's Middle east adviser was in Moscow on this thread while you were as Director of the CIA participating in this thread? Were you aware of that? Are you aware of that today? I'm not aware of that today. This sloppiness, this incompetence, this disrespect for our intelligence agencies and the personnel who work for them is entirely unacceptable. It's an embarrassment. Senator, you need to do better. You need to do better. Thank you. I'm being gaveled.

Commentator 1 (6:02)

Agree the United States deserves better. They need to do better. And you cannot tell me that it's not incompetent that the CIA director doesn't know who's in Moscow or Russia on behalf of President Trump. That's crazy. That cannot be true. We are not that stupid. We are not that stupid. Further in the hearing, Tulsi Gabbard refused to answer whether this Signal group chat was on her personal or private phone. That tells me it was on her private phone. And she acts like we're all going to know the answer to this. They're going to do a report and we're going to get it. Bullshit. Trump has already made the government less transparent within the first two months of his administration. So my guess is we see a watered down version of what they want us to see. But the Democrats, they need to go home harder. And this situation is so dire that even Fox News is having a hard time justifying it.

Their big story today out of the Atlantic, where their editor in chief, Jeffrey Goldberg, has reported that he was accidentally sent sensitive information about military strikes in Yemen. The Messages come from 18 national security officials. They were sent through the encryption app Signal, and there are indications that they appear to be authentic. I think there are two takeaways from this story as of what we know today. One, it is incredibly concerning that sensitive information would be sent with a journalist included in the thread. We can speculate and there is reasonable, fair expectation that somebody like Jeffrey Goldberg was accidentally included under his initials J.G. when who was meant to be included was a trade chief. Jamison, Greer.

Commentator 1 (7:47)

Okay, hold on real quick. It's concerning. No. The house is on fire. You are crafting war plans on a group chat where people are fist bumping and it's far, far more dire than concerning. And the fact that none of these dipshits realized they had the wrong person. Are you kidding me? Go ahead.

Commentator 2 (8:12)

Sorry, missing Greer. But if it was accidental, and we'll wait to see if this was accidental, it is incredibly concerning that this information would be share over the Signal app with a journalist included. But the bigger takeaway for me is it's an insight, a transparent insight into the thought process and dialogue of our national leaders. If you look at.

Commentator 1 (8:31)

Here we go, that, that's the money line. It's transparent. Transparent? You leaked classified information and you're justifying it, calling it transparent? Are you fucking kidding me? This is ridiculous. Fox News should be embarrassed, but of course we know they're not because the red meat of their base doesn't understand nuance, hypocrisy, irony, it doesn't. These people that used to be national security people, they're not anymore. They're just like lips on Trump's ass. RAW Team. So I want to remind people that Fox News, when Hillary Clinton had the email breach while she was running for president. Let's take a look at these people on FOX News, what they were saying about that. And I might remind you that was not a group chat and that was not about war plans.

Commentator 2 (9:27)

Anyone other than Hillary Clinton, they would be in jail right now. Nobody is above the law, not even Hillary Clinton, even though she thinks she is.

Tulsi Gabbard (9:34)

Mishandling classified information is still a violation of the Espionage Act.

Commentator 2 (9:38)

When you have the Clinton emails on top of the fact that the sitting president, United States, admitted he had documents in his garage, they didn't prosecute. They didn't go after these folks.

Commentator 1 (9:48)

I mean, why are these people so gullible? These viewers are so gullible with the fake outrage over the emails and then they leaked Defense Department secrets, classic classified information. And it's just, oh, well, you know, it's concerning. But the government's transparent. Like, where are the Democrats? Why have articles of impeachment not already been drawn? Why is have subpoenas not already been sent out? We know Pam Bondi is way too busy worried about what's being done to Tesla. So she's not going to enforce any laws regarding classified information. Where's Congress? Where are the Democrats in Congress? Elise Stefanik. Sloppy. That's not going to cut it. We need fighters in this moment. Meet the moment. They are giving you a layup. Their incompetence is palpable. Go and get these people. Get subpoenas. It's unbelievable. The Democrats, the best they can come up with is it sloppy? So lying liars that lie a lot. That's maga. Stick with us for more news.
