Incredible show today with an amazing lineup of guests! Pete Buttigieg’s honest and thoughtful responses to all of your questions was so refreshing to see. Definitely brought a sense of hope and honor to the current political climate.
And it was good to hear Hakeem Jeffries take on things, especially Signal-gate, as well as his recognition that Democrats need to keep the pressure on and articulate their message to the American people.
Love Pete!!! A common sense veteran with intellect, so refreshing to listen to someone who can speak in complete sentences and appreciates our democracy. Just terrified that so much of our country is still in the dark ages and homophobic. We should be benefiting from his obvious skill set and experience. Will our fellow citizens ever evolve and make better decisions about who we chose for our leaders. We have not elected two qualified women and handed our country to a complete conman.
The Social Security office calls it Earned Benefits. I'm not sure who started calling it an Entitlement, but actually, an entitlement is something that one DESERVES. I suggest we bring back Earned Benefits as the accurate name in public discourse.
Such a pleasure to hear from Pete! I hope decides that 2028 is his time. He's probably the best communicator the Democrats have had since Bill Clinton. He's politically savvy, wicked smart, and very talented.
The recent U.S. attack on Houthis revealed to the public a security breach of unparalleled proportions. The breach identified a rogue, unprincipled element of senior U.S. leadership. This group knowingly and unlawfully violated OPSEC rules and U.S. Espionage Act laws. The group discussed—on a commercial communications chat app—an imminent top secret aerial attack on an enemy in the Gulf of Aden.
The commercial app Signal’s chat communications by the law-breaking group extended across the U.S. and internationally. The group included one operative that was in Moscow where open communications are collected and analyzed.
The meeting was set up and attendees invited on the commercial Signal app by the NSA, our National Security Advisor Michael Waltz. The NSA is the most senior of our intelligence officers. This is not “setting an example”.
NSA Michael Waltz assumed "full responsibility" for the leaked Signal group chat of senior Trump officials. "I take full responsibility. I built the group," Waltz said on "The Ingraham Angle" Tuesday. "It's embarrassing. We're going to get to the bottom of it."
Get to the bottom of it? What is that supposed to mean? You more than hit rock bottom, you went 6 feet under. Government-owned phones are being issued by the Executive Branch with the commercial Signal chat app already installed on them. Each phone carrier knows the app erases stored data. This app’s erasure of data has the phone carrier guilty of violating the Presidential Records Act of 1978.
Secretary of Defense (SECDEF) Pete Hegseth, a participant in the group chat, has not yet hit rock bottom, but is aiming to exceed Waltz’s debacle depth record. Hegseth flat out denies the obvious breach by trying to wordsmith like a 5 year old. He denies “war plans” were given out. That is not the point. Classified information was disclosed.
After an initial round of air strikes on March 15, the SECDEF wrote in the chat that “CENTCOM was/is on point,” referring to the military’s Central Command, which was in charge of the operation. It is CENTCOM that would have set the SECRECY classification level for that attack. That is a record that no one has changed. It takes an “Authorized Declassifier” to change the assigned security level. The SECDEF had that unilateral authority as the OCA, but failed in his responsibility. He is not real bright. Amateur hour. Watch for them to change the official records.
Authority: The authority to declassify information rests with the Original Classification Authority (OCA) or their successor, or officials delegated declassification authority by the Secretary.
Executive Order 13526: This order outlines the procedures for classifying and declassifying national security information, and it's the primary legal basis for declassification.
I was just reading that Project 2025 SPECIFICALLY instructs that these type of conversations take place on an app exactly like SIGNAL where they would not be retained so the content would not be accessible and used against them if they were subpoenaed. If this is true this is no accident. AND, let’s talk about everyone else on the SIGNAL chat who also know these conversations should take place in secured locations and on hardened communication channels. Why did no one ask “Why are we discussing this here???” Why? Because they all know why … they were protecting their asses and following Project 2025 guidelines!

Pete you said it correctly. SS is not an entitlement because we pay into it all our working lives.
The Social Security office calls it Earned Benefits. I'm not sure who started calling it an Entitlement, but actually, an entitlement is something that one DESERVES. I suggest we bring back Earned Benefits as the accurate name in public discourse.
Awesome broadcast today Jim!! Ty!!
I really believe that Putin knows everything at this point.
Totally agree with you. I wonder if he was also notified by his "friend"
Jim knocked it out of the park today with this Substack! I turned off CNN because this is way more relevant.
Such a pleasure to hear from Pete! I hope decides that 2028 is his time. He's probably the best communicator the Democrats have had since Bill Clinton. He's politically savvy, wicked smart, and very talented.
Awesome interview. Two super smart guys& great communicators!
3 smart guys, I guess! I missed Hakeem but was talking about Jim & Pete! I’m sure I would have the same reaction to Hakeem!

Hi from Expat Paris France
Why is because they are liars and shady and did not want archives of it

There are a lot of people who are homeless that are on SS. How are they going to get on a computer?
Any other admin , this would definitely end in some resignations / or firings.
Just signed up for upgrade and so happy I did. Love these interviews!! I sent shares to several friends already.
Great show today. Thank you - I hope you know how much we all appreciate you Jim Acosta!!!!
