Summary

In one of the most bizarre foul-ups (or was it?) of all time, Trump National Security Advisor Mike Waltz invited The Atlantic's editor-in-chief into a Signal discussion group (!) where the Admin's attack on Yemen was being planned. What if it was no leak at all and instead a "pro-war psy-op"? With secure communications equipment available to the Administration...why did they discuss apparently highly classified war-planning information on a commercial chat app? Will heads roll?

Hello, everybody, and thank you for tuning into the Liberty Report. Dr. Paul is out of the studio today.

0:06.5

So I will have a briefing for you, and hopefully you will find it of some interest.

0:11.9

And I just want to talk about one topic today, and I think it's probably one of the most bizarre things that I've ever heard of.

0:18.7

And that is, you may have seen it breaking late yesterday and coming in through

0:22.8

today. That is apparently the situation surrounding the planning of the Trump administration's

0:31.8

bombing of Yemen. And specifically, the inclusion of a journalist into the discussion forum of the planning for the event.

0:45.3

So let's back up a little bit now.

0:47.3

Let's go, let's put on that first clip because this is what I'm talking about that came out in the Atlantic of all places.

0:53.3

And this is Jeffrey Goldberg.

0:56.1

Now remember that name because we'll talk about who it is. But this article was a bombshell

1:01.0

yesterday. The Trump administration accidentally texted me its war plans. That's a pretty good

1:08.6

headline, I say, as a former editorial page editor. And you go into it a little bit,

1:13.9

and here's what Goldberg says. If you go to the next one, the world found out shortly before 2 p.m.

1:19.5

Eastern Time on March 15th that the United States was bombing Houthi targets against Yemen.

1:30.3

1:37.0

is that Pete Hegseth, the Secretary of Defense, had texted me the war plan at 1144 AM. The plan included precise information about

1:48.8

weapons packages, targets, and timing. This is going to require some explaining. Now, before

1:55.4

we move on, just read, I never, that's never, that's something I never thought I would read the Secretary of Defense texting or journalists specific details of an upcoming attack.

2:07.2

It's simply unheard of, but when you hear more about it, it gets even weirder because here's how it happened.

2:15.7

Go to that next clip.

2:21.3

So here's Jeff Goldberg. He is the editor-in-chief of the atlantic magazine again we'll get into the atlantic magazine a little bit more in a second
