1:58:47Now PlayingThe incompetence shown by Trump’s cabinet members and Vice President is staggering.
A group text message on the Signal platform accidentally included a reporter along with Vice President Vance and Secretaries Hegseth, Rubio, Gabbard, National Security Advisor Waltz and more discussing pending military actions. No one checked the text group list or thought to take the conversation to a secure government platform before sharing military operational details. Former national security adviser John Bolton says while Signal is encrypted, it is not equivalent to U.S. government secure telecommunications. Planning military strikes via text puts American military members at risk. Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg called for “accountability for a screw-up like this, especially from a president who used to fire people every day on television for sport.” Republican Senator John Cornryn called it a huge screw up and Senator Susan Collins said it was inconceivable to her. There are now calls for an investigation.
We will ask Pulitzer Prize winning author and investigative reporter David Cay Johnston about this and so much more.
It is Tech Tuesday on The Mark Thompson Show. Jefferson Graham joins to share details about the Signal platform, take a look at whether it’s safe to travel if the government tries to access your phone and what the bankruptcy of 23 & me could mean for you.
