Summary

Lemon Nation, this is beyond reckless—it's dangerous. As we’ve been covering since the story first broke, The Atlantic reports that Trump’s national security team accidentally texted a reporter their war plans through a group chat. Yes, they actually included a journalist in a live thread about upcoming U.S. military strikes in Yemen. This isn’t just incompetence—it’s a full-blown national security failure. And according to the law, some of the people involved could legitimately face jail time. Naturally, Trump is already trying to deflect blame, because accountability is never part of the plan. Tonight, Don is joined by activist and The Bulwark writer Cameron Kasky to break it all down—the incompetence, the legal stakes, and how we got to a point where texting war plans is somehow not the biggest scandal of a presidential term.

0:17.8	So happy that you could be here.
0:19.4	So I would hope that it's not
0:21.4	to be hyperbolic what we have here, meaning they could go to you. Sorry about that. I'm
0:26.9	listening to you on YouTube and on our live feed. They could go to jail because they could.

0:34.8	Where are you streaming from? Let us know. We're glad that you're here again. Make sure you hit the thumbs up and like it affects the algorithm. More people will get to see this conversation, hear this conversation, and also get to meet my guest, which I know you're going to love. And I know, you know, he brings the heat. And it's also, he's a younger person who is dealing with politics and trying
0:55.6	to get younger people involved in politics and to understand politics. So once again,
0:59.8	thank you for joining us. Did Atlantic editor Jeffrey Goldberg hack, which is strange. Now,
1:05.5	how could he hack that? I thought that, you know, signal was unhackable. Okay. Did he hack his way into a federal government chat group? Jeffrey Goldberg is a bad person. They're trying to sully his name. They're criticizing him.
1:27.6	They're demonizing.
1:28.4	They're saying he's a bad person.
1:29.7	Oh, my God, he's done this.

1:31.9	He hates us or whatever.
1:33.2	He's a never trumper.
1:34.6	Why are they doing this?
1:36.1	Because he knows that in reality, just about his entire cabinet could, in the same
1:41.4	world, they could go to prison. That's not hyperbole there for that signal
1:45.7	group chat scandal. Mike Walls, who's the person who added everyone, National Security
