It's Wednesday, March 26th. I'm Jane Koston, and this is Waday. The show that you can email and the email won't bounce back, which is not true for Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency.

On today's show, Russia and Ukraine agreed to a partial ceasefire. And some Florida lawmakers have a solution for all those jobs vacated by migrants. Child labor! But let's start with the group chat that's taken over my group chat and the news cycle.

Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, and CIA director John Ratcliffe

were on Capitol Hill Tuesday for what was supposed to be a routine hearing in front of the

Senate Intelligence Committee, except it ended up being not very routine, because both of them

were reportedly part of that now infamous group chat on Signal we told you about yesterday.

You know, the one where the vice president and the country's top military and national security

officials were reportedly sharing classified information about imminent strikes on Houthi rebels in Yemen

on an unsecured platform, all while the editor-in-chief of the Atlantic looked on, because

the national Security Advisor had

allegedly added him to the chat?

Who amongst us, right?

Senators, naturally, had some questions.

Arizona Democrat Mark Kelly asked both Gabbard and Ratcliffe whether they knew about a

Defense Department policy that basically says,

hey, don't talk about sensitive information on unsecured devices like cell phones, not even some

of the unclassified stuff. Are both of you aware of that DOD policy?

I haven't read that policy. Not familiar with the DOD policy, but I would say that the Secretary of Defense is the original classification authority for DOD in deciding what would be classified information.

Awkward.

Gabbard wouldn't even admit to being part of the group chat when pressed by the

committee's top Democrat, Virginia's Mark Warner. You are not TG on this group chat. I'm not going to

get into the specifics. So you refuse to acknowledge whether you are on this group chat?
